Gdrive Manager

Google Drive Manager

All Claude Code Google Drive operations MUST go through this skill to ensure proper folder organization and automatic INDEX maintenance.

Folder Structure

Google Drive/
└── claude-code/
    ├── INDEX                     # Central document with links to all docs
    ├── experiments/              # Experiment documentation (research-executor)
    ├── logs/                     # Daily/session logs
    ├── updates/                  # Weekly updates (weekly-update-writer)
    └── slides/                   # Presentations (research-slides-architect)

Folder Mapping

Configuration

Folder IDs are cached in references/folder-ids.md. Read this file first to get the correct folder IDs.

Workflow: Creating a Document

Step 1: Read Folder IDs

Read: .claude/skills/gdrive-manager/references/folder-ids.md

This gives you the cached folder IDs:

• ROOT_FOLDER_ID - claude-code folder
• EXPERIMENTS_FOLDER_ID - experiments subfolder
• LOGS_FOLDER_ID - logs subfolder
• UPDATES_FOLDER_ID - updates subfolder
• SLIDES_FOLDER_ID - slides subfolder
• INDEX_DOC_ID - INDEX document

Step 2: Determine Target Folder

Based on document type:

• Experiment documentation → use EXPERIMENTS_FOLDER_ID
• Daily log → use LOGS_FOLDER_ID
• Weekly update → use UPDATES_FOLDER_ID
• Presentation → use SLIDES_FOLDER_ID

Step 3: Create Document in Correct Folder

For Google Docs:

mcp__gdrive__createGoogleDoc(
  name: "{document-name}",
  content: "{initial-content}",
  parentFolderId: "{FOLDER_ID}"
)

For Google Slides:

mcp__gdrive__createGoogleSlides(
  name: "{presentation-name}",
  slides: [...],
  parentFolderId: "{SLIDES_FOLDER_ID}"
)

Step 4: Update INDEX Document

After creating any document, update the INDEX:

1. Get current INDEX content:

   mcp__gdrive__getGoogleDocContent(documentId: "{INDEX_DOC_ID}")
   

2. Add new entry to appropriate section

3. Update INDEX:

   mcp__gdrive__updateGoogleDoc(
     documentId: "{INDEX_DOC_ID}",
     content: "{updated-content}"
   )
   

4. Apply formatting (HEADING_1 for section headers)

Workflow: Full INDEX Refresh

Use this workflow to regenerate the entire INDEX from current folder contents:

Step 1: List All Folders

mcp__gdrive__listFolder(folderId: "{EXPERIMENTS_FOLDER_ID}")
mcp__gdrive__listFolder(folderId: "{LOGS_FOLDER_ID}")
mcp__gdrive__listFolder(folderId: "{UPDATES_FOLDER_ID}")
mcp__gdrive__listFolder(folderId: "{SLIDES_FOLDER_ID}")

Step 2: Generate INDEX Content

CLAUDE-CODE GOOGLE DRIVE INDEX
Last Updated: {current-timestamp}

TL;DR
• Central index for all Claude Code research documents
• {N} experiments, {M} logs, {P} updates, {Q} slides

QUICK LINKS
• Latest Experiment: {name} - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id}
• Today's Log: {date} - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id}

EXPERIMENTS
• {name} - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id} - {date}
• ...

LOGS
• {date} - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id}
• ...

UPDATES
• {date} Weekly Update - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id}
• ...

SLIDES
• {name} - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/{id} - {date}
• ...

Step 3: Update and Format INDEX

1. Update content: mcp__gdrive__updateGoogleDoc
2. Get content with indices: mcp__gdrive__getGoogleDocContent
3. Apply TITLE style to header
4. Apply HEADING_2 to "TL;DR"
5. Apply HEADING_1 to each section (EXPERIMENTS, LOGS, etc.)

Initial Setup (One-Time)

If the folder structure doesn't exist yet:

Create Folders

# 1. Create root folder
mcp__gdrive__createFolder(name: "claude-code")
→ Save the returned ID as ROOT_FOLDER_ID

# 2. Create subfolders
mcp__gdrive__createFolder(name: "experiments", parent: "{ROOT_FOLDER_ID}")
→ Save as EXPERIMENTS_FOLDER_ID

mcp__gdrive__createFolder(name: "logs", parent: "{ROOT_FOLDER_ID}")
→ Save as LOGS_FOLDER_ID

mcp__gdrive__createFolder(name: "updates", parent: "{ROOT_FOLDER_ID}")
→ Save as UPDATES_FOLDER_ID

mcp__gdrive__createFolder(name: "slides", parent: "{ROOT_FOLDER_ID}")
→ Save as SLIDES_FOLDER_ID

Create INDEX Document

mcp__gdrive__createGoogleDoc(
  name: "INDEX",
  content: "CLAUDE-CODE GOOGLE DRIVE INDEX\nLast Updated: {date}\n\nTL;DR\n• Central index for all Claude Code research documents\n\nEXPERIMENTS\n(empty)\n\nLOGS\n(empty)\n\nUPDATES\n(empty)\n\nSLIDES\n(empty)",
  parentFolderId: "{ROOT_FOLDER_ID}"
)
→ Save as INDEX_DOC_ID

Cache Folder IDs

Write all IDs to .claude/skills/gdrive-manager/references/folder-ids.md

Validation

Before any operation:

1. Read references/folder-ids.md
2. If IDs are missing, search for folder: mcp__gdrive__search(query: "claude-code")
3. If folder doesn't exist, run Initial Setup workflow

Link Formats

When adding links to INDEX, use these formats:

• Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/{document-id}
• Google Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/{presentation-id}
• Google Sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{spreadsheet-id}

Critical Reminders

1. NEVER create documents outside claude-code folder - All research docs must be in the appropriate subfolder
2. ALWAYS update INDEX after creating/deleting documents - Keep the index current
3. Use correct folder for document type - Experiments go to /experiments, logs to /logs, etc.
4. Format the INDEX - Use google-docs-formatter skill for proper heading styles
