gemini-skills
Skills for the Gemini API, SDK and model/agent interactions
Gemini Skills is a collection of agent skills that enhance AI coding assistants with current Gemini API knowledge and development best practices. Because language models are trained at fixed points in time, they lack awareness of recent SDK changes, new API features, and evolving patterns like thought circulation. These skills bridge that knowledge gap by injecting relevant context about building applications with the Gemini API, Gemini Live API, Interactions API, and video generation capabilities, improving code generation accuracy to 87-96% in evaluations.
