Verify Google Workspace MCP authentication at the start of any session that needs Google APIs (Docs, Slides, Drive). This skill prevents auth failures mid-workflow by testing credentials upfront. Use this skill automatically at session start when the task involves Google Docs, Google Slides, Drive uploads, or any MCP Google Workspace tool. Also trigger when users mention "Google Doc", "Google Slides", "upload to Drive", "export to Google", "share on Drive", or any Google-related output format.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Auth Preflight ## Purpose Verify Google Workspace MCP authentication BEFORE beginning any Google-dependent work. Catches auth issues in <30 seconds instead of discovering them after 5-10 minutes of chart generation, narrative writing, or deck building. **Core principle:** Fail fast with clear guidance, not slow with cryptic errors mid-workflow. ## When to Apply Trigger this skill immediately when: - The task involves Google Docs, Slides, or Drive - Any `mcp__google-*` tool will be called - The user mentions "Google Doc", "Google Slides", "upload to Drive", "create a deck", "export to Google", "share on Drive" - Before running google-slides-creator, google-slides-reviewer, gdoc-builder, or any Google-dependent agent **Critical timing:** Run auth preflight as your FIRST action, before exploring data, generating charts, parsing narratives, or any other substantive work. --- ## Preflight Workflow ### Step 1: Detect MCP Configuration Read `.mcp.json` to discover which Google MCP server(s) are configured: ```bash cat .mcp.json | grep -A3 google ``` Look for entries like: - `google-docs` → Google Docs + Drive MCP server (most common) …

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/auth-preflight@sha256:24b9dfc6c463feefThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.b370de6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
