What it does

Gslides Add News is an agent skill from lselector/seminar. Find this week's most important AI news and add it as new topics to the live Google Slides seminar deck (YYYY-MM-DD-AI-News), without ever re-adding a topic the author parked or deleted, and without touching anything the author filled or wrote. Creates the deck first if it does not exist. Use when asked to add news to the Google Slides deck, fill this week's slides with news, or update the Friday deck in Google Slides.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to add news to the Google Slides deck
  • Fill this weeks slides with news
  • Update the Friday deck in Google Slides

Example prompts

  • “/gslides-add-news”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. make sure the deck exists
  2. see what the deck already knows
  3. gather the news
  4. write the topics as JSON
  5. dry run, then add
  6. refresh the contents
  7. report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21c3ec8. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • mistral.ai

    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

Gslides Add News loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 572 words (~1,090 tokens).

“The deck in Google Slides is the source of truth. You gather and write the news; work/g2_add_news.py decides what is new and places it. Read work/README.md once if you have not: it holds the three rules (a fill freezes a…”
