SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib, google-api-python-client, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Manually building and updating Google Slides decks is repetitive, especially when generating recurring reports or templated presentations. This Skill lets you create presentations, add slides and content, and export decks programmatically through simple commands. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Presentation Management: List, search, create, duplicate, and inspect Google Slides presentations using OAuth-authenticated API calls. - Slide Editing: Add slides with predefined layouts (title, section, two-column, etc.), insert text boxes and images with precise point-based positioning, and delete slides. - Export & Sharing: Export any presentation to PDF or PowerPoint (PPTX) format for distribution or offline editing. - Use Case: Generate a monthly performance report deck by creating a presentation, adding a title slide and content slides with metrics, then exporting it to PDF to email to stakeholders. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a new Google Slides presentation titled "Q4 Sales Report" and add a title slide with your key metrics.
