What This Skill Does

The recipe-create-presentation skill is a powerful automation tool designed to streamline the creation of Google Slides decks. Instead of manually navigating the Google Workspace interface, creating a file, setting permissions, and populating initial slides, this skill automates the entire sequence. By leveraging the gws-slides underlying integration, it initiates a fresh document with a predefined title and automatically grants access to your specified team members, ensuring immediate collaboration capability.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/googleworkspace-bot/recipe-create-presentation

Ensure that your environment has the gws-slides base skill installed and correctly authenticated with your Google account, as the recipe relies on these underlying hooks to communicate with the Google Cloud API.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for professionals who frequently generate recurring reports or meeting decks. For example, a project manager can use this to automate the creation of a 'Weekly Project Status' deck every Monday morning. It is also perfect for rapid team alignment; by automating the permission-sharing step, you ensure that as soon as the presentation exists, your key stakeholders have the necessary write access without needing manual email invites.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, please run the recipe to create our Quarterly Review Q2 presentation and share it with the team."
2. "I need a new presentation set up for the project sync. Use the recipe-create-presentation skill and invite the dev team lead."
3. "Automate the creation of my standard status update deck using the recipe-create-presentation skill."

Tips & Limitations

• Pre-requisites: Always verify that the gws-slides skill is active before running this recipe; otherwise, the API calls will fail.
• Authentication: Ensure your Google Workspace credentials allow for 'Drive' and 'Slides' write access.
• Limitations: This recipe creates a base file with specific naming conventions defined in the command. If you require dynamic template application (like background images or specific corporate themes), you may need to extend the script to include additional slide-modification API calls post-creation. Always monitor the output to confirm that the presentation ID was generated successfully before attempting to share the file.
