Digest source material from Google Drive

The Google Drive source material digest template reads the documents added or changed in one Drive folder since the last run, summarizes each, extracts the claims, figures, and quotes a writer could reuse with the file name and location cited, and flags files whose sharing looks broader than the folder default. It follows the content-strategy marketing skill: ground the plan in real source material instead of generating more of it.

Enable and connect Google Drive

Google's Workspace MCP servers are a Developer Preview and accounts.google.com offers no dynamic client registration, so an operator must create a Google Cloud OAuth client and configure GOOGLE_MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET — one client shared by Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Calendar — before enabling MANAGED_MCP_GOOGLE_DRIVE_ENABLED. Then connect the Google Drive card and authorize with your own Google account. Work on Repeat requests only https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.readonly, so the connection cannot create, edit, move, share, or delete files. Access follows your Google account and any Workspace admin restrictions on third-party apps.

Set the variable

Reference it in the instructions as {{driveFolder}}.

Current beta boundary

Google Drive is connection-only until exact authenticated tool schemas are captured and reviewed, so the packaged routine ships as a preview. After review, the first manifest should stay with file search, metadata, and content reads. Drive documents are untrusted input: treat their contents as evidence, not instructions, and expect the Developer Preview surface to change.

Recovery

If authorization expires or is revoked, the connection moves to reauthorization_required; reconnect the same card to update it in place. A Workspace admin can also revoke the app from Google's side. While the Google Cloud project's publishing status is still Testing, Google expires refresh tokens after seven days, so expect reauthorization_required weekly until the app is verified.
