google-slides

Use this skill any time the user wants to create a Google Slides deck from a template, mentions "Google Slides" with a template in mind, provides a Google Slides URL plus a content brief, or asks to "make slides", "build a deck", "generate a presentation", or "fill this template" in a Google Workspace context. Requires the Studio Google Slides + Google Drive MCP connectors. Do NOT use for PowerPoint (.pptx) creation (use the pptx skill), for editing without a template, or for authoring a new template (template authoring has its own skill).

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The content is a well-structured overview that delegates detail to four real reference files, gives a fully sequenced workflow with explicit validation and QA feedback loops, and packs concrete tool names and failure-recovery recipes into dense tables without padding. Every token earns its place and the skill assumes Claude's intelligence throughout.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — no preamble explaining what Google Slides or text replacement is. The 'Why this shape?' block is justified design rationale (API cannot move elements / preserve styling) rather than padding, and the tables are dense and information-rich.	5 / 5
Actionability	Highly executable: concrete tool names (`google_slides_replace_text`, `google_slides_batch_update`, `google_drive_copy`) and specific recovery recipes referencing real fields (`objectId`, `cells[].fullText`, `uc?id=`, `role: reader`, `type: anyone`) cover the common and failure cases copy-paste ready.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	A 10-step numbered workflow with explicit checkpoints: connector verification at step 1, user sign-off at step 4, per-slide inventory at step 5, and a QA feedback loop at step 9 ('loop until 0 findings') plus an independent sub-agent review — meeting the validation requirement for batch/destructive operations.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	SKILL.md is an overview pointing to four clearly signaled one-level-deep references, all of which exist in ./references/ (workflow.md, pattern-selection.md, filling-content.md, batch-update-recipes.yaml) and one cross-skill reference (../google-slides-review/SKILL.md); content is appropriately split with easy navigation.	5 / 5

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is exemplary: it names the domain, lists concrete capabilities, provides natural trigger phrases covering common synonyms, and explicitly disambiguates from the pptx and template-authoring skills. It also states the connector prerequisite and negative boundaries, leaving little ambiguity about when to invoke it.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions ('create a Google Slides deck from a template', 'duplicating them, filling content via style-preserving text replacement, and hiding the originals') with comprehensive coverage of the template-driven editing flow.	5 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both 'what' (template-driven deck editing via pattern duplication and text replacement) and 'when' ('Use this skill any time the user wants to...') with concrete trigger phrases and a required-connector precondition.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural trigger phrases users would say ('make slides', 'build a deck', 'generate a presentation', 'fill this template') plus the 'Google Slides URL plus a content brief' variant and the 'Google Slides' product name itself.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	Clear niche (Google Slides template editing) with explicit conflict disambiguation ('Do NOT use for PowerPoint (.pptx) creation (use the pptx skill), for editing without a template, or for authoring a new template'), minimizing overlap with sibling skills.	5 / 5
