Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Access the Google Slides API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage presentations, add slides, insert text and images, and control formatting.

https://gateway.maton.ai/google-slides/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Google Slides API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to slides.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

Object IDs must be unique within a presentation Use batchUpdate for all modifications (adding slides, text, shapes, etc.) Multiple requests in a batchUpdate are applied atomically Sizes and positions use PT (points) as the unit (72 points = 1 inch) Use replaceAllText for template-based presentation generation IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set: echo $MATON_API_KEY Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF
