# Google Photos

<!-- Generated by scripts/gen-agent-skills.mjs; do not edit. -->

Use `gog` for Google Photos operations. Read `../gog/SKILL.md` first for shared auth,
output, safety, and live-write rules.

## Safe start

```bash
gog auth list --check --json --no-input
gog schema photos --json
gog --readonly --account user@example.com photos --help
```

- Select the account explicitly with `--account`.
- Use `--json --wrap-untrusted` for agent-readable Google content.
- Use `--readonly` when the task must not mutate Google data.
- Use `--no-input` in automation and `--dry-run` before supported writes.
- Confirm the exact account, object, and mutation before any write or delete.

## Commands

| Command | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `albums` | List or create app-created albums |
| `download` | Download an app-created media item |
| `get` | Get an app-created media item |
| `list` | List app-created media items |
| `picker` | Access user-selected media with the Photos Picker API |
| `search` | Search app-created media items |
| `upload` | Upload photos or videos, optionally into an app-created album |

Run `gog photos <command> --help` for flags and `gog schema photos <command> --json`
for the machine-readable contract. Do not guess command syntax.
