recipe-create-presentation — Claude Code skill: create Slides

A short recipe that opens a new Google Slides deck from the terminal and shares it with your team. Handy when an agent, not you, is setting up the file.

What recipe-create-presentation does

No scripts here, just an order of steps. The agent drives the gws CLI: create the presentation, read its ID from the response, then grant access.

Step one is gws slides presentations create --json '{"title": "Quarterly Review Q2"}'. Step two reuses that ID: `gws drive permissions create --params '{"fileId": "PRESENTATION_ID"}' --json '{"role": "writer", "type": "user", "emailAddress": "[email protected]"}'`. Swap in your own role and address.

Two things must be in place first. The gws binary, and the gws-slides skill, which the recipe names as a prerequisite. Actual slide content is that skill's job, not this one's. Install it if you want the deck and its permissions created from the shell. If you build decks by hand in the browser anyway, skip it.

What it helps with

  • create a Google Slides deck from the terminal
  • give teammates editor access to a fresh deck
  • spin up an empty presentation for a quarterly review
  • pull the presentation ID before adding slides
  • replace manual share clicks with one command

Example prompts for the agent

  • Create a Google Slides presentation called Quarterly Review Q2 and share it with [email protected] as writer
  • Start an empty deck for the review and show me its ID
  • Make the presentation and give the team edit access
