Google Slides: Read and write presentations.
— the description by Google Workspace

AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

The gws-slides skill provides a command-line interface to interact with Google Slides. It enables users to programmatically read, create, and modify presentation content through the Google Slides API. By leveraging the gws tool, users can perform batch updates, create new presentations, and retrieve existing slide data directly from their terminal.

What it does

  • Create new blank Google Slides presentations
  • Retrieve the latest version of a presentation
  • Apply batch updates to modify presentation content
  • Perform operations on specific pages within a presentation
  • Validate update requests before application

When to use it

  • When you need to automate the creation of slide decks
  • When you need to programmatically update presentation content
  • When you want to integrate Google Slides management into a CLI workflow

Advantages

  • Enables programmatic control over Google Slides
  • Supports batch processing for efficient updates
  • Provides schema inspection to assist with parameter construction

Usage examples

“Create a new presentation titled 'Project Update'”
The tool executes the create method to generate a new blank presentation with the specified title.
“Get the details of presentation with ID 12345”
The tool retrieves the latest version of the presentation and displays the data.

API Resources

presentations

  • batchUpdate — Applies one or more updates to the presentation. Each request is validated before being applied. If any request is not valid, then the entire request will fail and nothing will be applied. Some requests have replies to give you some information about how they are applied. Other requests do not need to return information; these each return an empty reply. The order of replies matches that of the requests.

  • create — Creates a blank presentation using the title given in the request. If a presentationId is provided, it is used as the ID of the new presentation. Otherwise, a new ID is generated. Other fields in the request, including any provided content, are ignored. Returns the created presentation.

  • get — Gets the latest version of the specified presentation.

  • pages — Operations on the 'pages' resource

Discovering Commands

Before calling any API method, inspect it:

# Browse resources and methods
gws slides --help

# Inspect a method's required params, types, and defaults
gws schema slides.<resource>.<method>

Use gws schema output to build your --params and --json flags.
