What it does
Create a per-run subfolder under a Google Drive parent and upload every frame plus a `manifest.json`. Uses the Drive v3 multipart endpoint with a plain Bearer access token so there's no SDK or embedded OAuth flow.
When to reach for it
- Personal / team Drive as a video archive alongside other project files
- Service-account workflows in CI where a token is minted out-of-band
- `gcloud auth print-access-token` on a workstation for ad-hoc uploads
Install
npm i -g peepshowUse it
GDRIVE_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token) \
GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID=1AbCd... \
peepshow ./clip.mp4 --sink gdriveMake it automatic
Register the sink once — every run fires it afterward. Scope by --when so it only runs for matching videos.
peepshow sinks add gdrive
peepshow sinks add gdrive --when extension=mp4,mov
peepshow sinks add gdrive --when path=/Volumes/Work/Configuration
GDRIVE_ACCESS_TOKENOAuth access token (Bearer). Service-account or user. requiredGDRIVE_FOLDER_IDParent Drive folder id to upload into. requiredGDRIVE_API_URLOverride for Drive API endpoint.GDRIVE_RUN_FOLDER_NAMEOverride the per-run subfolder name.
Use with an LLM agent
Every peepshow sink reads its config from env vars and receives a single JSON payload on stdin. An LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex) can drive the Google Drive sink automatically when three things are true:
- the env vars below are exported in the agent's shell (or a project
.envit can load), - the
peepshowCLI is onPATH— install withnpm i -g peepshow, - a peepshow auto-sink is registered for the run (optional but recommended — makes invocation zero-argument).
1. Set the environment
# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or a project .env the agent can load
export GDRIVE_ACCESS_TOKEN="..."
export GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID="..."2. Register as an auto-sink
peepshow sinks add gdrive
peepshow sinks add gdrive --when extension=mp4,mov3. Example LLM session
You → drop a
.movinto Claude Code.Claude → auto-invokes
/peepshow:slides ./clip.mov. peepshow extracts frames + audio, theGoogle Drivesink forwards the run to the configured bucket / folder. Claude replies with a summary and a link to the created record.
The full transcript JSON is saved next to the frames in the manifest.
Write your own
A sink is any executable that reads the --emit json payload on stdin. Shell, Node, Python, Go — the spec's in docs/PLUGINS.md. Register persistent ones with peepshow sinks add-cmd 'your-command'.
