π³ Requires a paid Google Workspace account for the gws CLI β no free tier. Curated by Skill Harbor β a step-by-step recipe that lists all files in a Google Drive folder, downloads each one, and exports Google Docs as PDF (`gws drive files list`, `files get`, `files export`). Distinct from the sibling recipe backup-sheet-as-csv (lot 31): that one backs up a single spreadsheet as CSV; this one pulls down an entire folder's contents. By @googleworkspace, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats: the recipe assumes the gws-drive utility skill is loaded and the gws binary is installed and authenticated; very large folders will take a long time and hit Drive API quotas β iterate in pages and mind the rate limits. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.
Version:
Install
Prerequisites: a paid Google Workspace account; the gws CLI installed and authenticated; this recipe also requires the gws-drive utility skill loaded Install "Bulk Download Drive Folder (gws CLI)" for me. List every file in a Drive folder and download them all, exporting Docs to PDF Repository: https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli/blob/main/skills/recipe-bulk-download-folder/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the googleworkspace-recipe-bulk-download-folder skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "googleworkspace-recipe-bulk-download-folder". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat β credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you β no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the sellerβs own page, usually Stripe.
What does the β next to a creatorβs name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself β always check a build before installing it.
