Gemini Skills

Use this skill when building applications with Gemini API hosted models, including Gemini and Gemma 4, working with multimodal content (text, images, audio, video), implementing function calling, using structured outputs, or needing current model specifications. Covers SDK usage (google-genai for Python, @google/genai for JavaScript/TypeScript, com.google.genai:google-genai for Java, google.golang.org/genai for Go), model selection, and API capabilities.

Use this skill when writing code that calls the Gemini API for text generation, multi-turn chat, multimodal understanding, image generation, video generation, streaming responses, background research tasks, function calling, structured output, or migrating from the old generateContent API. This skill covers the Interactions API, the recommended way to use Gemini models and agents in Python and TypeScript.

Use this skill when building real-time, bidirectional streaming applications with the Gemini Live API. Covers WebSocket-based audio/video/text streaming, voice activity detection (VAD), native audio features, function calling, session management, ephemeral tokens for client-side auth, live translation, and all Live API configuration options. SDKs covered - google-genai (Python), @google/genai (JavaScript/TypeScript).

Use this skill for generative video editing, text-to-video, image-referenced video generation, and first-frame-to-video transition animations using the official google-genai SDK. Includes workflows for pre-processing/optimizing high-resolution or long source videos with ffmpeg, stripping audio for full sound regeneration, and handling turn-by-turn video editing and parallel execution.
