What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves Google Drive synchronization errors caused by specific types of directories (like node_modules or build outputs) by applying the .nosync trick and restarting the Google Drive client.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Scanning: Identifies problematic directories within ~/My Drive/ based on common patterns and Google Drive logs.
  • .nosync Application: Renames problematic directories and creates symlinks to exclude them from Google Drive sync.
  • .gitignore Updates: Automatically updates .gitignore files in affected Git repositories.
  • Google Drive Restart: Gracefully quits and restarts the Google Drive application to refresh its sync status.
  • Use Case: When Google Drive displays persistent sync errors, this skill can be invoked to clean up the sync queue and restore normal operation.

Quick Start
