Google Drive Comments

Use this skill for comment workflows in the unified Google Drive plugin. Drive comments can apply to Docs, Sheets, Slides, and generic Drive files, but API-created comments may appear unanchored in the Google editor UI. Every new top-level comment must therefore include enough surface-specific evidence for the reader to find the target without relying on native UI anchoring.

Workflow

1. Ground the target file first.

• If the user did not provide an exact file URL or ID, search Drive, list recent files, list folders, or read metadata until the target file is unambiguous.
• Identify whether the file is a Google Doc, Sheet, Slides deck, or generic Drive file before drafting comments.

2. Read the surface that will be commented on.

• For Docs or text-like files, read the document text around each likely target.
• For Sheets, read spreadsheet metadata first, then read the specific sheet tabs and ranges that may receive comments.
• For Slides, read the presentation outline or text first, then read specific slides or thumbnails when visual context is needed.
• Do not guess a target quote, slide number, sheet name, or cell range from memory or search snippets.
