About This Skill
The recipe-transfer-file-ownership skill allows AI agents to change the owner of a file within Google Drive. It automates administrative tasks by updating access permissions and ownership metadata without requiring manual intervention in the user interface.
When to use it
- Reassigning project files from a departing team member to a new lead.
- Correcting accidental ownership transfers caused by shared link errors.
- Bulk updating file ownership for archived campaigns or completed projects.
- Delegating access rights to external contractors who need full control over specific assets.
Key capabilities
- Identifies the current owner of a specified Drive file.
- Executes permission changes to transfer full ownership to a new user or group.
- Updates associated metadata to reflect the new responsible party.
- Operates directly via the Google Workspace CLI for scriptable automation.
Example prompts

- "Change the owner of all files in the 'Marketing Assets' folder to the external agency group."
- "Reassign the 'Employee Handbook' document to the HR department admin account."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure the target user has an active Google Workspace account with sufficient permissions before initiating the transfer. This skill requires direct API access via the CLI, so proper authentication tokens must be configured in your environment prior to execution.
