slides_skill

Overview

This skill connects to Google Slides via the AtrisOS API and lets an agent list, create, read, and modify presentations programmatically. It supports adding slides, text, shapes, and images, styling text, performing find-and-replace, and exporting decks to PDF. Use it when users ask to build, update, or export slide decks and pitch presentations.

How this skill works

The skill calls the AtrisOS Google Slides endpoints using a stored OAuth token (shared with Google Drive). It lists presentations, fetches full presentation objects (including element IDs), and performs all mutations through the batch-update endpoint. Image additions require public URLs or Drive-hosted files; exports return a base64 PDF payload.

When to use it

• Create a new presentation or pitch deck from a prompt
• Add slides, titles, text boxes, or images to an existing deck
• Replace template placeholders across a deck (find & replace)
• Export a presentation to PDF for sharing
• Retrieve slide thumbnails or individual page data

Best practices

• Ensure Google Drive is connected first — Slides piggybacks on Drive OAuth
• Fetch the presentation object to discover slide and element objectIds before batch updates
• Use batch-update for all structural changes (createSlide, createShape, createImage, insertText)
• For templates, use replaceAllText with {{placeholders}} to safely swap variables
• Use public image URLs or upload images to Drive and reference their public link

Example use cases

• Create a Q1 pitch deck: create presentation, add title slide, generate content slides, return share link
• Bulk update company name and date across a template using replaceAllText
• Add an image and text box to a specific slide via batch-update
• List recent presentations and show last-modified times and links
• Export an existing deck to PDF and provide the downloadable file (base64)
