Skill: Google Slides Export

Purpose

Create properly formatted Google Slides presentations via the MCP API. Prevents API errors and ensures every deck looks professional -- no text overflow, no overlapping elements, consistent brand design.

When to Apply

Automatically whenever:

• mcp__google-workspace__batch_update_presentation will be called
• A Google Slides deck is being designed or built
• The google-slides-creator or google-slides-reviewer agent is running

Section A: Pre-Flight Checklist

Run this checklist BEFORE building any batch_update requests. Fix all violations first.

• Object IDs >= 5 characters -- every NEW object ID you create must be 5+ chars OK: slide_2, hdr_bg, title_box, body_txt BAD: s2, t1, bg, p_t1 (Only applies to IDs you define; existing IDs from the API can be any length)
• No zero-weight outlines -- never set outline.weight.magnitude = 0 BAD: "weight": {"magnitude": 0, "unit": "PT"} -> API error OK: Omit the updateShapeProperties outline block entirely (no border = default)
• Slide creation uses createSlide -- not addSlide (not a valid request type)
• Batches <= 50 requests -- split into batches of 50 and apply sequentially Each batch must complete before the next starts (do not parallelize)
• deleteObject only for confirmed IDs -- only delete element IDs returned by get_page or get_presentation; never delete IDs you invented
• Text boxes are generous -- every text box that holds variable content must be at least 3000000 EMU wide and use autoFit: AUTO_FIT
