Use when the user asks about using Gemini in an enterprise environment or explicitly mentions Vertex AI, Google Cloud, or Agent Platform. Guides the usage of the Gemini API on Agent Platform with the Google Gen AI SDK. Covers SDK usage (Python, JS/TS, Go, Java, C#), capabilities like multimodal inputs, tools, media generation, caching, batch prediction, and Live API.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Safer alternatives
Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'gemini-api' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'gemini-api' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named gemini-api already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/google/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '793c036c3af827151ada918c5f8cba823ef7086d' -- 'skills/cloud/gemini-api' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/cloud/gemini-api' ~/.agents/skills/'gemini-api' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'gemini-api' ~/.claude/skills/'gemini-api' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
