Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a strong skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities, includes natural trigger terms users would use, and explicitly states both what the skill does and when to use it. It is well-scoped to Google Slides, reducing conflict risk with other presentation-related skills. The description is concise without being vague.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Create and edit Google Slides presentations', 'Add or delete slides', 'insert text, shapes, and images'. These are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Create and edit Google Slides presentations. Add or delete slides, insert text, shapes, and images') and when ('Use when asked to build a deck, create a slideshow, update a Google presentation, or edit slides'). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes strong natural keywords users would say: 'deck', 'slideshow', 'Google presentation', 'edit slides', 'Google Slides'. These cover common variations of how users refer to presentation tasks. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clearly scoped to Google Slides specifically, which distinguishes it from general presentation skills (e.g., PowerPoint/.pptx). The trigger terms like 'Google Slides', 'Google presentation', and 'deck' create a distinct niche. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured skill with strong actionability and workflow clarity, featuring concrete commands, verification steps after mutations, and clear error handling guidance. The progressive disclosure is excellent with appropriate references to detailed guides. The main weakness is some verbosity in the examples section, where three similar examples could be consolidated into fewer, more differentiated ones.
Suggestions
Consolidate the three examples into two more differentiated ones — the 'Create a simple presentation' and 'Create presentation from data' examples are very similar and could be merged to save tokens.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is mostly efficient but includes some redundancy — the examples section is quite lengthy with three similar examples that could be consolidated, and the setup/authentication section repeats information (check command mentioned multiple times). The coordinate system diagram and troubleshooting sections are useful but add bulk. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | All commands are concrete, copy-paste ready bash commands with specific flags and arguments. The examples show complete workflows with real command invocations, coordinate values, and layout names. The script usage section serves as a comprehensive quick reference. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Multi-step workflows include explicit verification steps after each mutation (e.g., 'Verify creation and get the default slide ID', 'Verify content was inserted correctly'). Error handling clearly distinguishes retryable vs non-retryable errors with specific guidance. The pattern of create → verify → use ID → insert → verify is consistently demonstrated. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill provides a clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references: command-reference.md for full argument details, permissions.md for read/write classification, layouts-guide.md, shapes-guide.md, and external OAuth setup guides. The main file stays focused on quick start and common workflows. | 3 / 3 |
