What it does
Google Slides is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build and edit Google Slides through the google-slides MCP tools - slides, grids of cards and columns, text boxes, shapes, images, tables, styling, layout inspection, and per-slide PNG rendering. Use when creating a deck, laying out slide elements, matching a template, or verifying how a slide looks.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Cloud office suites and Slides and decks. It works with Google Slides. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.
When your agent uses it
- Creating a deck
- Laying out slide elements
- Matching a template
- Verifying how a slide looks
Example prompts
- “/google-slides”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- add_slide layout BLANK (or the deck's first slide with clear: true), then
- Read the reply's issues. text_overflow means shorten, `fit
- get_slide_thumbnail (LARGE) once per slide and LOOK at it: crowding,
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Google Slides loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 929 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 929 words (~1,727 tokens).
“Coordinates are POINTS from the slide's top-left; a standard slide is 720x405 (read_slide_layout reports the real size). Everything is addressed by objectId from read_presentation. Pass requiredRevisionId from the latest read or write so a concurrent edit fails the write instead…”

When should I use Google Slides?
Google Slides fits situations like: creating a deck; laying out slide elements; matching a template; verifying how a slide looks.
How do I install Google Slides in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill google-slides -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (third_party/google-slides/skills/google-slides in cursor/plugins) into .claude/skills/google-slides in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Google Slides in Codex?
Run `npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill google-slides -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (third_party/google-slides/skills/google-slides in cursor/plugins) into .agents/skills/google-slides in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Google Slides in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add cursor/plugins --skill google-slides -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/google-slides, .gemini/skills/google-slides, .github/skills/google-slides and .opencode/skills/google-slides in your project.
What does Google Slides need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Google Slides is instructions for the agent only.
Does Google Slides access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Google Slides safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Google Slides use?
No licence was found for Google Slides or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Google Slides use?
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Google Slides?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Google Slides: Gslides Add News (lselector/seminar, 164 stars), Deck Generator (ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills, 3.6k stars), Gslides Update Aa Index (lselector/seminar, 164 stars) and Gslides Update Hiring (lselector/seminar, 164 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
