About

The slides-update skill empowers Claude to programmatically modify Google Slides presentations by adding new slides with specific layouts. It streamlines the workflow of building presentations by allowing users to define slide titles, body content, and structural layouts—such as blank, title-only, or two-column formats—without manual editing. This is particularly useful for developers and managers who need to generate reports, update project decks, or automate the visual documentation of technical workflows through the Google Slides API.
