google_slides_storyboard_skill

Overview

This skill automates creation of Google Slides presentations from structured storyboards, research notes, or narrative outlines. It produces polished slide decks with consistent templates, integrated visuals, and speaker notes, and returns a Google Slides link or PDF export. The workflow is designed for repeatable, brand-compliant presentation generation.

How this skill works

Provide a storyboard YAML or structured JSON describing title, slide sequence, and visual requirements. The skill maps each slide to a template, populates text and data, generates or inserts assets (images, charts, icons), applies brand styles and animations, and exports a live Google Slides URL and optional PDF. It handles retries for API limits and falls back to default templates on mismatch.

When to use it

• Turn research findings or long documents into a presentation quickly
• Create pitch decks, proposals, or investor-ready slides from outlines
• Generate visual storyboards for narrative-driven content or episodes
• Automate recurring presentation formats (weekly reports, OKRs)
• Convert documents or reports into slide-ready summaries

Best practices

• Define a clear narrative arc in the storyboard: intro, problem, solution, CTA
• Limit each slide to one key message and concise speaker notes
• Specify brand palette and typography in the input to ensure consistency
• Provide high-resolution images or allow the generator to request images at 1920x1080
• Include data in structured form (CSV or inline arrays) for accurate charts

Example use cases

• Research-to-deck: feed NotebookLM research output and generate a summary presentation
• Investor pitch: convert a short outline into a branded pitch deck with financial charts
• Training module: produce storyboarded lesson slides with speaker notes and visuals
• Weekly report automation: generate recurring status decks from data sources
• Client proposals: create tailored proposal decks with company branding and CTA slide
