Read, write, and batch-update Google Slides presentations programmatically.
Works with
Supports core presentation operations: create blank presentations, retrieve presentation data, and apply batch updates to multiple elements in a single validated request
All updates are atomic; if any request in a batch is invalid, the entire operation fails and nothing is applied
Use gws schema to inspect method signatures, required parameters, and data types before constructing API calls
Requires Google
PREREQUISITE: Read
../gws-shared/SKILL.mdfor auth, global flags, and security rules. If missing, rungws generate-skillsto create it.
gws slides <resource> <method> [flags]
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' resourceBefore 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.

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiongws-slidesExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches gws-slides from googleworkspace/cli and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate gws-slides. Access via /gws-slides in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
