# Activate skill tool (`activate_skill`)
|
||||
|
||||
The `activate_skill` tool lets Gemini CLI load specialized procedural expertise
|
||||
and resources when they are relevant to your request.
|
||||
|
||||
## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Skills are packages of instructions and tools designed for specific engineering
|
||||
tasks, such as reviewing code or creating pull requests. Gemini CLI uses this
|
||||
tool to "activate" a skill, which provides it with detailed guidelines and
|
||||
specialized tools tailored to that task.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arguments
|
||||
|
||||
`activate_skill` takes one argument:
|
||||
|
||||
- `name` (enum, required): The name of the skill to activate (for example,
|
||||
`code-reviewer`, `pr-creator`, or `docs-writer`).
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The `activate_skill` tool is used exclusively by the Gemini agent. You cannot
|
||||
invoke this tool manually.
|
||||
|
||||
When the agent identifies that a task matches a discovered skill, it requests to
|
||||
activate that skill. Once activated, the agent's behavior is guided by the
|
||||
skill's specific instructions until the task is complete.
|
||||
|
||||
## Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
The agent uses this tool to provide professional-grade assistance:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Specialized logic:** Skills contain expert-level procedures for complex
|
||||
workflows.
|
||||
- **Dynamic capability:** Activating a skill can grant the agent access to new,
|
||||
task-specific tools.
|
||||
- **Contextual awareness:** Skills help the agent focus on the most relevant
|
||||
standards and conventions for a particular task.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

||||
