google-slides

google-slides is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JustParent/google-slides-mcp. It costs 107 tokens per session (2,653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for creating and editing Google Slides presentations through an MCP server, a standard connection method for software tools. They focus on copying a complete styled presentation, reusing its slides, filling in content, and removing unused slides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to find presentations in Google Drive, reuse example or template slides, change text, resize or move elements, and reorder slides.
Why use it?
They preserve the original presentation’s themes, layouts, and styling. Rebuilding slides manually can lose that formatting.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-slides scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Google Slides (low-level MCP)

This skill explains the canonical way to drive the google-slides-mcp server. Tools are exposed as mcp__google-slides__<tool> (shown below by bare name).

Mental model: copy → reuse → fill → prune

The Slides API has no cross-presentation slide copy, and recreating elements by hand loses styling fidelity. So the high-fidelity pattern is always:

  1. Copy the whole showcase deck (copy_presentation) — this clones masters, layouts, theme and color scheme, and brings every example slide along as a reusable palette.
  2. Duplicate the example slides you want (duplicate_slide) within that copy.
  3. Fill them with real content (set_element_text, replace_all_text).
  4. Prune the leftover palette slides at the very end (prune_parked_slides).

Editing the copy this way is functionally identical to hand-editing the showcase.

Never rebuild a slide by reading its elements and recreating them in a different deck — that drops theme/master/placeholder styling and will not be pixel-perfect. Always start from copy_presentation.

Prerequisites

  • The MCP server is configured in the client, and the user has run the one-time login (google-slides-mcp-auth). If a tool returns "No cached Google credentials…", tell the user to run that command; do not try to work around it.
  • You need the showcase/template presentation ID (the long ID in its URL: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/<ID>/edit). If the user doesn't give you one, find it with search_presentations (see below) before asking.

Finding existing decks (Drive discovery)

search_presentations searches the user's Drive across native Google Slides and PowerPoint (.pptx/.ppt) files — use it whenever the user refers to a deck by description rather than ID:

search_presentations(order_by="createdTime desc", owned_by_me=true, max_results=1)
  → "the last presentation I created"
search_presentations(name_contains="corporate template", file_type="google_slides")
  → find a template by name
search_presentations(full_text_contains="Q3 revenue")
  → decks mentioning a topic (order_by is ignored by Drive for full-text queries)
