SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the friction of keeping local files and Google Drive in sync while avoiding the slow, unreliable desktop sync client. It enforces a three-step workflow: cloud-first upload, immediate retrieval of a shareable link, and a reliable local backup to ensure offline access and fast recovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cloud-first Creation & Upload: ensures files are created and uploaded directly to Drive, bypassing desktop sync delays.
  • Immediate Link Harvesting: captures the webViewLink for seamless sharing with Notion Goals/Tasks or other trackers.
  • Local Fallback Copy: copies the local item to the designated archive folder and cleans up temporary artifacts according to a Safe Delete Policy.
  • Use Case: Archive an Inbox item and generate a Notion-ready link, or preserve important reports with a reliable local backup.

Quick Start

Run the protocol to upload a file to Drive, grab its shareable link, and mirror the local copy to your archive.
