Top Skills for Gemini CLI
Google's coding agent CLI with a SKILL.md compatibility layer.
About Gemini CLI
Gemini CLI is Google's coding agent CLI with a SKILL.md compatibility layer added in late 2025. Skills run inside Gemini sessions and have access to Gemini's tool set — file editing, shell execution, web search, and the Google-specific integrations (Search, Workspace, Vertex AI).
The install model places Skills under `~/.gemini/skills/` for user-wide or `.gemini/skills/` for project-scoped. The compatibility layer translates SKILL.md frontmatter into Gemini's internal skill format, which means most Claude-targeted Skills run cleanly but some advanced features (subagent dispatch, certain MCP patterns) need adaptation.
Gemini CLI is the right Skill target for teams on Google Cloud or Workspace who want the same SKILL.md discipline. Composite scoring weights cross-agent verification heavily — Skills tested in Claude Code and Gemini CLI rank above single-target Skills, and Skills that use Gemini-specific integrations (Workspace docs, Vertex models) get their own ranking section.
