- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads gemini automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Gemini AI Assistant
Leverage Google's Gemini Pro model with its 1M context window for research, analysis, and reasoning tasks.
Prerequisites
Install the Gemini CLI:
pip install google-generativeai

CLI Reference
Basic Usage
# Simple question
gemini -m pro "Your question here"
# With text output (no markdown)
gemini -m pro -o text "Your question"
# Disable extensions for programmatic use
gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Your question"
# Pipe content as stdin
echo "content to analyze" | gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Summarize this"
cat file.txt | gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Analyze this code"
Common Operations
Research
Deep research with critical analysis:
gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "You are an expert research analyst. Research: [topic]. Provide specific facts, distinguish opinions from facts, note uncertainties, and give actionable insights."
Summarization
cat document.txt | gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Summarize this content, focusing on: [focus area]"
Code Analysis
cat code.ts | gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Analyze this code and answer: [question]"
Web Search with Synthesis
gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Search and synthesize: [query]. Include specific facts, dates, and distinguish confirmed from speculative information."
Fact-Checking
gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Fact-check this claim: [claim]. State true/false/partial, cite sources, note context."
Step-by-Step Reasoning
gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Think through this problem step by step: [problem]. Constraints: [constraints]. Provide reasoning and conclusion."
Data Extraction
cat content.txt | gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Extract [what to extract] from this content. Format as [json/list/table]."
News Lookup
gemini -m pro -o text -e "" "Latest news about: [topic] from [timeframe]. Summarize important developments."
Prompt Templates
Research Prompt
You are an expert research analyst. Your goal is to provide genuinely useful, accurate research.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: [topic]
QUALITY STANDARDS:
- Be specific and concrete, not vague
- Distinguish between facts, expert opinions, and speculation
- Note when information is uncertain, contested, or evolving
- Identify what's NOT known or what gaps exist
- Provide actionable insights, not just information
Analysis Prompt
Analyze the following and provide:
1. Key findings
2. Implications
3. Recommendations
4. Uncertainties or gaps
Content: [content]
Best Practices
- Use
-o text -e ""for programmatic usage to get clean output - Pipe large content via stdin rather than command line args
- Be specific in prompts - vague questions get vague answers
- Ask for structure - request lists, tables, or JSON for parseable output
- Request citations when accuracy matters
- Set timeouts for long operations (gemini can take 30-120s)
Error Handling
| Error | Solution |
|---|---|
| "command not found" | Install: pip install google-generativeai |
| "API key" / "unauthorized" | Set GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable |
| "rate limit" / "quota" | Wait and retry, or check quota at Google Cloud Console |
| Timeout | Break into smaller queries or increase timeout |

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
