> **Requires Google Workspace account.** Personal Gmail accounts are not supported.

## First-Time Setup

Authenticate with Google (opens browser):
```bash
python scripts/auth.py login
```

Check authentication status:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py status
```

Logout when needed:
```bash
python scripts/auth.py logout
```

## Read Commands

All operations via `scripts/slides.py`. Auto-authenticates on first use if not logged in.

```bash
# Get all text content from a presentation
python scripts/slides.py get-text "1abc123xyz789"
python scripts/slides.py get-text "https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1abc123xyz789/edit"

# Find presentations by search query
python scripts/slides.py find "quarterly report"
python scripts/slides.py find "project proposal" --limit 5

# Get presentation metadata (title, slide count, slide object IDs)
python scripts/slides.py get-metadata "1abc123xyz789"
```

## Write Commands

```bash
# Create a new empty presentation
python scripts/slides.py create "Q4 Sales Report"

# Add a blank slide to the end
python scripts/slides.py add-slide "1abc123xyz789"

# Add a slide with a specific layout
python scripts/slides.py add-slide "1abc123xyz789" --layout TITLE_AND_BODY

# Add a slide at a specific position (0-based index)
python scripts/slides.py add-slide "1abc123xyz789" --layout TITLE --at 0

# Find and replace text across all slides
python scripts/slides.py replace-text "1abc123xyz789" "old text" "new text"
python scripts/slides.py replace-text "1abc123xyz789" "Draft" "Final" --match-case

# Delete a slide by object ID (use get-metadata to find IDs)
python scripts/slides.py delete-slide "1abc123xyz789" "g123abc456"

# Batch update (advanced - for formatting, inserting shapes, images, etc.)
python scripts/slides.py batch-update "1abc123xyz789" '[{"replaceAllText":{"containsText":{"text":"foo"},"replaceText":"bar"}}]'
```

## Slide Layouts

## Presentation ID Format

You can use either:
