Recipe Create Presentation

A straightforward recipe for spinning up new Google Slides presentations through the command line. Creates the presentation, grabs the ID from the response, and immediately sets up sharing permissions for your team. Saves you from clicking through the Google Slides interface when you're already working in terminal or need to automate presentation creation. The recipe assumes you have Google Workspace CLI tools configured and the gws-slides skill loaded. Nothing fancy here, just the basic create-and-share workflow that covers 90% of use cases when you need a new deck for meetings or reviews.
