The Google Slides resource exposes presentations as a virtual filesystem mounted at some prefix such as /gslides/. For Google OAuth setup, see Google Workspace Setup.

​
Config

import os

from mirage import MountMode, Workspace
from mirage.resource.gslides import GSlidesConfig, GSlidesResource

config = GSlidesConfig(
    client_id=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
    client_secret=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
    refresh_token=os.environ["GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN"],
)
resource = GSlidesResource(config=config)
ws = Workspace({"/gslides": resource}, mode=MountMode.READ)

​
Filesystem Layout

/gslides/
  owned/
    <YYYY-MM-DD>_<sanitized-title>__<presentation-id>.gslide.json
    ...
  shared/
    <YYYY-MM-DD>_<sanitized-title>__<presentation-id>.gslide.json
    ...
Example: 
/gslides/
  owned/
    2026-04-04_QBR_Deck__1AbCdEf.gslide.json
    2026-04-10_Team_Update__2BcDeFg.gslide.json
  shared/
    2026-04-03_Design_Review__9XyZ.gslide.json
Presentations are split into owned (presentations you created) and shared (presentations shared with you). The filename shape is: 
<YYYY-MM-DD>_<sanitized-title>__<presentation-id>.gslide.json
If the modified date is unavailable, the date prefix is omitted. Reading a presentation file returns the full Google Slides API JSON for that presentation.

​
Cache

The Google Slides resource uses IndexCacheStore. Index entries store presentation IDs and metadata. There is no separate content cache — file content caching is handled by the workspace IOResult mechanism.

Example

import asyncio
import os

from dotenv import load_dotenv

from mirage import MountMode, Workspace
from mirage.resource.gslides import GSlidesConfig, GSlidesResource

load_dotenv(".env.development")

config = GSlidesConfig(
    client_id=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"],
    client_secret=os.environ["GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"],
    refresh_token=os.environ["GOOGLE_REFRESH_TOKEN"],
)
resource = GSlidesResource(config=config)


async def main():
    ws = Workspace({"/gslides": resource}, mode=MountMode.READ)

    # List structure
    r = await ws.execute("ls /gslides/")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # List owned presentations
    r = await ws.execute("ls /gslides/owned/")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Read a presentation
    r = await ws.execute(
        "cat /gslides/owned/2026-04-04_QBR_Deck__1AbCdEf.gslide.json")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Extract title with jq
    r = await ws.execute(
        'jq ".title"'
        " /gslides/owned/2026-04-04_QBR_Deck__1AbCdEf.gslide.json")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Search across all presentations
    r = await ws.execute('rg "quarterly" /gslides/owned/')
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Tree view
    r = await ws.execute("tree -L 1 /gslides/")
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Create a new presentation
    r = await ws.execute(
        'gws-slides-presentations-create --json \'{"title":"MIRAGE Deck"}\'')
    print(await r.stdout_str())

    # Batch update a presentation
    r = await ws.execute(
        'gws-slides-presentations-batchUpdate'
        ' --params \'{"presentationId":"1AbCdEf"}\''
        ' --json \'{"requests":[]}\'')
    print(await r.stdout_str())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
