# Deep Research Skill — Permissions & Distribution

## Sharing Google Docs for Public Access

When publishing research documents via the deep-research skill, **always make the document readable by anyone with the link** to avoid permission friction during distribution.

### Command (add after Step 2 — Publish to Google Drive):

```bash
gog drive share "$GDOC_ID" \
  --anyone \
  --role reader \
  -a conductor@nerdbox.com
```

This returns: `permission_id: anyoneWithLink`

### Why:
- Recipients don't need to request access or sign in
- No permission emails or approval delays
- Seamless sharing to teams, stakeholders, or public audiences
- Critical when distributing reports outside the immediate team

### When to do it:
- **Always**, unless the user explicitly says "keep this private" or "restricted access only"
- Especially when: distributing to multiple people, external partners, or for public consumption

### Status after running:
```
link	https://docs.google.com/document/d/{GDOC_ID}/edit?usp=drivesdk
permission_id	anyoneWithLink
```

The document is now readable by anyone with the URL.
