Bower keeps Google Drive organized without ever deleting anything. It scans your full Drive structure and file contents, builds a personalized preference profile from your existing organization patterns, applies domain-specific logic where it detects known domains, and executes non-destructive moves, renames, and description writes -- learning your organizational style over time and auto-approving patterns you've consistently accepted. The goal: you go to sleep and wake up to a Drive that looks the way you would have organized it yourself.
Skill packages follow the agentskills.io open standard and are compatible with OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and any agentskills.io-compliant client.
Bower crawls your Google Drive, classifies files by content and context, and proposes moves, renames, and description writes based on a combination of domain-specific rules (taxes by year, projects by name, home by system, finance by institution) and your own inferred preferences. It never deletes files, never changes sharing permissions, and always preserves a full audit trail for undo. Over time, patterns you consistently approve are promoted to auto-approve, so Bower handles routine filing silently in the background.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
bower.scan.deep [--founding] |
Full Drive crawl with content reading and description generation |
bower.scan.light |
Incremental scan of recent changes with arrival detection |
bower.analyze |
Generate ranked proposals from the current structural model |
bower.simulate [--path] [--depth] |
Read-only preview of what Bower would do to a folder |
bower.proposals.review |
Drive health narrative + pending proposals grouped by destination |
bower.proposals.approve |
Approve proposals by tier, ID, type, or all |
bower.proposals.reject |
Reject proposals and record feedback |
bower.apply [--dry-run] |
Execute approved proposals (capped per run) |
bower.undo [--ids] [--last N] |
Reverse executed operations |
bower.preferences.show |
Display inferred preferences, domains, and auto-approved patterns |
bower.preferences.lock |
Lock a preference field from inference |
bower.preferences.quiet |
Enable/disable quiet mode |
bower.feedback.clear |
Clear learned suppression patterns |
bower.status [--trend] |
System health, proposal counts, auto-approve stats |
bower.init |
Initialize storage and register background jobs |
bower.init runs automatically on first invocation. It creates all required directories, writes default config, and registers background cron jobs. On first run, it prompts to launch a founding scan -- a one-time batch bootstrap that scans your Drive and presents high-confidence proposals as a single accept/reject decision to immediately establish your preferences.
Bower recognizes and applies domain-specific organization rules for:
- Taxes -- year-first hierarchy (Returns, Supporting Documents, Correspondence)
- Projects -- project-name-first hierarchy with optional Active/Archive split
- Home -- system-based or year-based (HVAC, Roof, Kitchen, etc.)
- Finance -- institution-first, year-second (Statements, Confirmations)
- Legal -- document-type-first (Contracts, Personal, Property, Employment, NDAs)
- Medical -- person-first with Insurance, Records, Prescriptions subfolders
- Archive -- low-intervention, respects intentional archival
- Education -- institution/program-first with course subfolders
Each domain can operate in prescriptive mode (moves toward a canonical structure) or descriptive mode (extends your existing variant).
OCAS Skills (optional)
- Vesper -- receives weekly Drive health signal for briefings
- Elephas -- may receive folder structure Signals as Chronicle candidates

- Google Drive access -- required for all Drive operations
| Job | Schedule | Action |
|---|---|---|
bower:scan |
Daily 2:00 AM PT | Light scan + arrival detection + auto-apply if quiet mode on |
bower:weekly-deep |
Sunday 1:00 AM PT | Deep scan + analyze + Vesper health signal |
- Never deletes files
- Never changes sharing permissions
- Renames are high-confidence only
- Description overwrites require approval; auto-writes to empty fields do not
- Auto-approved proposals still pass staleness and permission checks
- Full audit trail with undo support for every operation
- Medical files: folder path and count only in output, never filenames or content
- Version alignment per spec-ocas-skill-publishing.md (no functional change)
- Generalized Google Drive MCP reference to platform-agnostic capability description
- Full signal emission to Elephas for Drive artifacts (Thing/DigitalArtifact, Entity/Person, Place, Concept/Event, Concept/Idea)
- All emitted signals carry
user_relevance: "user"— Drive content is inherently user-owned - Structured entity observations in journal payloads (
entities_observed,relationships_observed,preferences_observed) - Filesystem write permission for Elephas journal payload
- Elephas signal cooperation documented in skill cooperation section
- Initial release with full scan, analyze, simulate, apply, and undo lifecycle
- Domain support for Taxes, Projects, Home, Finance, Legal, Medical, Archive, Education
- Preference inference, pattern promotion, feedback learning, and confidence recalibration
- Founding run for one-time bootstrap
- Background scheduling: daily light scan, weekly deep scan
Bower is part of the OCAS Agent Suite -- a collection of interconnected skills for personal intelligence, autonomous research, and continuous self-improvement. Each skill owns a narrow responsibility and communicates with others through structured signal files, shared journals, and Chronicle, a long-term knowledge graph that accumulates verified facts over time.
