Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned google-gemini/gemini-skill at 6fee1bec62.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to Google's Gemini API, enabling AI agents to leverage Gemini’s powerful language understanding and generation capabilities. It allows integration with various applications to perform tasks such as generating creative text formats (poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc.), answering your questions in an informative way, and following instructions. The skill facilitates interaction with the Gemini model through programmatic access.

When to use it

  • Content Creation: Generate marketing copy, blog posts, or social media updates based on specific prompts.
  • Code Generation: Have the agent write code snippets in various programming languages for simple tasks.
  • Question Answering: Utilize Gemini's knowledge base to answer complex questions and provide detailed explanations.
  • Automated Summarization: Automatically summarize long documents or articles into concise summaries.

Key capabilities

  • Access to Google’s Gemini API
  • Text generation in various formats
  • Question answering with informative responses
  • Instruction following
  • Code generation

Example prompts

  • "Write a short poem about the ocean."
  • "Generate Python code to calculate the factorial of a number."
  • “Summarize this article: [paste article text here]”
