Gemini API Skills

gemini-skills

Build

This tool provides four distinct skills for Gemini API development: general API development practices, Vertex AI integration on Google Cloud, real-time streaming with Live API, and Interactions API usage. Each skill contains documentation and best practices that can be installed via CLI tools to provide context for AI agents working with Gemini APIs. Performance testing showed improved code generation accuracy when these skills were applied.
