AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiongoogle-driveExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches google-drive from membranedev/application-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate google-drive. Access via /google-drive in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Google Drive is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service. It's used by individuals and teams to store, access, and share files online from any device. Think of it as a virtual hard drive in the cloud.
Official docs: https://developers.google.com/drive
This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Google Drive. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.
Install the Membrane CLI so you can run membrane from the terminal:
npm install -g @membranehq/cli
membrane login --tenant
A browser window opens for authentication.
Headless environments: Run the command, copy the printed URL for the user to open in a browser, then complete with membrane login complete <code>.
membrane search google-drive --elementType=connector --json
output.items[0].element?.id, then:
membrane connect --connectorId=CONNECTOR_ID --json
When you are not sure if connection already exists:
membrane connection list --json
connectionIdWhen you know what you want to do but not the exact action ID:
membrane action list --intent=QUERY --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID --json
This will return action objects with id and inputSchema in it, so you will know how to run it.
| Name | Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| List Files | list-files | Lists the user's files in Google Drive with optional filtering and sorting |
| List Shared Drives | list-shared-drives | Lists the user's shared drives |
| List Permissions | list-permissions | Lists a file's permissions |
| List Comments | list-comments | Lists comments on a file |
| List Changes | list-changes | Lists changes in the user's Drive since a given start token |
| Get File | get-file | Gets a file's metadata by ID |
| Get Shared Drive | get-shared-drive | Gets a shared drive's metadata by ID |
| Get Permission | get-permission | Gets a specific permission by ID |
| Get About | get-about | Gets information about the user and their Drive |
| Get Start Page Token | get-start-page-token | Gets the starting page token for listing future changes |
| Create File Metadata | create-file-metadata | Creates a new file (metadata only, no content). |
| Create Folder | create-folder | Creates a new folder in Google Drive |
| Create Permission | create-permission | Shares a file by creating a permission for a user, group, domain, or anyone |
| Create Shared Drive | create-shared-drive | Creates a new shared drive |
| Create Comment | create-comment | Creates a comment on a file |
| Update File | update-file | Updates a file's metadata (name, description, etc.) |
| Update Permission | update-permission | Updates an existing permission (change role or expiration) |
| Update Shared Drive | update-shared-drive | Updates a shared drive's metadata |
| Delete File | delete-file | Permanently deletes a file (bypasses trash) |
| Delete Permission | delete-permission | Removes a permission from a file (unshare) |
membrane action run --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID ACTION_ID --json
To pass JSON parameters:
membrane action run --connectionId=CONNECTION_ID ACTION_ID --json --input "{ \"key\": \"value\" }"
When the available actions don't cover your use case, you can send requests directly to the Google Drive API through Membrane's proxy. Membrane automatically appends the base URL to the path you provide and injects the correct authentication headers — including transparent credential refresh if they expire.
membrane request CONNECTION_ID /path/to/endpoint
Common options:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-X, --method |
HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE). Defaults to GET |
-H, --header |
Add a request header (repeatable), e.g. -H "Accept: application/json" |
-d, --data |
Request body (string) |
--json |
Shorthand to send a JSON body and set Content-Type: application/json |
--rawData |
Send the body as-is without any processing |
--query |
Query-string parameter (repeatable), e.g. --query "limit=10" |
--pathParam |
Path parameter (repeatable), e.g. --pathParam "id=123" |
membrane action list --intent=QUERY (replace QUERY with your intent) to find existing actions before writing custom API calls. Pre-built actions handle pagination, field mapping, and edge cases that raw API calls miss.Prerequisites

✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
