What it does

Google Slides is an agent skill from sanjay3290/ai-skills. Read and write Google Slides presentations - get text, find presentations, create presentations, add slides, replace text, and manage slide content. Use when user asks to: read a presentation, create slides, find slides, add a slide, replace text in a presentation, or manage presentation content. Lightweight integration with standalone OAuth authentication supporting full read/write access.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `scripts/auth.py` and `scripts/slides.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks and Cloud office suites. It works with Google Slides. The repository describes itself as: 24 cross-platform agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & Gemini CLI — databases, messaging, research, TTS, DevOps, and Google Workspace. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

User asks to: read a presentation
Replace text in a presentation
Manage presentation content

Example prompts

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 281d88d. 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
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
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:
- docs.google.com
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 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from sanjay3290/ai-skills at commit 281d88d, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© sanjay3290). 193 words, ~1,023 tokens.

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 sanjay3290/ai-skills --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?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Google Slides needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Google Slides access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: docs.google.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. 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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Google Slides use?

Google Slides is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Google Slides use?

About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
