Skills on Google Gemini
Google’s developer tools — Gemini CLI and Antigravity — support Agent Skills natively. The consumer Gemini app and Gemini Enterprise don’t have native skill support, but you can use Gems or paste the SKILL.md contents into your prompt to get the same result.
Gemini CLI / Antigravity
Section titled “Gemini CLI / Antigravity”Gemini CLI and Antigravity read skill folders from your project root using the same SKILL.md open standard as Claude and other native-skill platforms.
Installing skills:
- Place the skill folder in
.gemini/skills/(or.agents/skills/) at your project root. - Start Gemini CLI or open the project in Antigravity — skills are discovered automatically.
→ Skills in Gemini CLI (official docs)
Gemini app (consumer)
Section titled “Gemini app (consumer)”No native skill support. Use a Gem as the workaround:
- Open Gemini and create a new Gem.
- Paste the
SKILL.mdcontents into the Gem’s instructions field. - Select the Gem from the sidebar whenever you want to run the skill.

Gemini Enterprise
Section titled “Gemini Enterprise”No native skill support. Paste the SKILL.md contents into your prompt each time, or into a saved instruction set if your plan supports one.
