Description
Atomic node skill to download a file from Google Drive using the gog CLI.
README (SKILL.md)
Lean Philosophy (Principles)
- Kaizen (改善): This skill is an atomic node, broken down into its simplest, smallest component to eliminate waste and ensure perfection.
- Standardized Work (Hyojun Sagyo): This node represents the most efficient, standardized path for this specific task before automation.
- Jidoka (自働化): This node includes autonomous defect detection. It relies on the CLI's self-healing loop and will report errors if the download fails.
Google Drive Download File
This skill allows the agent to download a file from Google Drive using the native CLI.
Cognitive Directives
WHEN [A file needs to be downloaded locally from Google Drive]
THEN [Execute the native terminal command gog drive download \x3CfileId> --out \x3ClocalPath>]
Schema Example
{
"command": "gog drive download file_id_123 --out /tmp/document.pdf"
}
Expected Output
Confirmation that the file was downloaded to the specified path.
Usage Guidance
This skill is straightforward and internally consistent, but before installing: ensure the 'gog' CLI on your system is the official, trusted binary and that it's authenticated to the Google account you intend to use. Be aware the skill will download any file the gog client has permission to access — validate fileId inputs and the output path to avoid accidental overwrites or writing sensitive files to unsafe locations. If you want tighter safety, run downloads into a sandboxed directory, review agent-autonomous actions that might trigger downloads, or require human confirmation before executing the command.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description say 'download from Google Drive using gog'; the only required binary is gog and the instructions call the expected gog command. The required capabilities are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs running `gog drive download <fileId> --out <localPath>`. This stays within scope, but the instructions are minimal: they do not validate fileId, check output-path safety, or warn about overwriting files. The agent would run arbitrary downloads limited only by the gog client's authenticated permissions.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec — lowest-risk category. It relies on an existing gog binary; nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no env vars, which is reasonable, but it implicitly depends on gog's local authentication (credentials/config stored by the gog client). That implicit dependency is expected but worth noting because the skill will operate with whatever account gog is authenticated to.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and default autonomous invocation are appropriate. The skill does not request elevated persistence or alter other skills/configuration.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install google-drive-download-file - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/google-drive-download-file - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.1
- Switched the implementation from using the GoogleWorkspace plugin to the gog CLI for file downloads.
- Updated skill requirements to depend on the gog binary instead of a plugin.
- Revised usage instructions and schema example to reflect CLI command usage.
- Output now confirms the downloaded file path instead of returning file content.
v1.0.0
Initial release of Google Drive Download File skill.
- Provides an atomic node to download files from Google Drive using the GoogleWorkspace plugin
- Emphasizes Lean principles: Kaizen, Standardized Work, and Jidoka for reliability and efficiency
- Downloads file content by executing the gworkspace_drive_download plugin tool when given a file ID
- Outputs a JSON object containing the file content or download path
