- New Google Slides presentation with specified title
- Drive writer permission for named user
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
The recipe wires Google Workspace APIs through `gws` while you are assembling deliverables—canonical shelf is Build integrations for third-party productivity hooks. Slides creation plus Drive permissions is an external API integration step, not frontend UI or ship testing.
How it compares
Thin CLI recipe over Google APIs, not a Slides MCP server or full document-generation framework.
