# Creating Agent Skills
|
|
|
|
This guide provides an overview of how to create your own Agent Skills to extend
|
|
the capabilities of Gemini CLI.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started: The `skill-creator` skill
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to create a new skill is to use the built-in `skill-creator`
|
|
skill. To use it, ask Gemini CLI to create a new skill for you.
|
|
|
|
**Example prompt:**
|
|
|
|
> "create a new skill called 'code-reviewer'"
|
|
|
|
Gemini CLI will then use the `skill-creator` to generate the skill:
|
|
|
|
1. Generate a new directory for your skill (e.g., `my-new-skill/`).
|
|
2. Create a `SKILL.md` file with the necessary YAML frontmatter (`name` and
|
|
`description`).
|
|
3. Create the standard resource directories: `scripts/`, `references/`, and
|
|
`assets/`.
|
|
|
|
## Manual skill creation
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to create skills manually:
|
|
|
|
1. **Create a directory** for your skill (e.g., `my-new-skill/`).
|
|
2. **Create a `SKILL.md` file** inside the new directory.
|
|
|
|
To add additional resources that support the skill, refer to the skill
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
## Skill structure
|
|
|
|
A skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file at its root.
|
|
|
|
### Folder structure
|
|
|
|
While a `SKILL.md` file is the only required component, we recommend the
|
|
following structure for organizing your skill's resources:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
my-skill/
|
|
├── SKILL.md (Required) Instructions and metadata
|
|
├── scripts/ (Optional) Executable scripts
|
|
├── references/ (Optional) Static documentation
|
|
└── assets/ (Optional) Templates and other resources
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `SKILL.md` file
|
|
|
|
The `SKILL.md` file is the core of your skill. This file uses YAML frontmatter
|
|
for metadata and Markdown for instructions. For example:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
---
|
|
name: code-reviewer
|
|
description:
|
|
Use this skill to review code. It supports both local changes and remote Pull
|
|
Requests.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# Code Reviewer
|
|
|
|
This skill guides the agent in conducting thorough code reviews.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
### 1. Determine Review Target
|
|
|
|
- **Remote PR**: If the user gives a PR number or URL, target that remote PR.
|
|
- **Local Changes**: If changes are local... ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **`name`**: A unique identifier for the skill. This should match the directory
|
|
name.
|
|
- **`description`**: A description of what the skill does and when Gemini should
|
|
use it.
|
|
- **Body**: The Markdown body of the file contains the instructions that guide
|
|
the agent's behavior when the skill is active.
