FAQPage Schema
How do I create a skill for Gemini CLI extensions?▼

Create a directory containing a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter that defines a name and description, followed by Markdown instructions. Place it in the skills directory of your extension so Gemini CLI can discover it.

What is the SKILL.md frontmatter format?▼

The frontmatter is a YAML block at the top of SKILL.md containing at least a name and description field. The Markdown body below it provides the instructions loaded into context when the skill activates.

How does the greeter skill get triggered?▼

The greeter skill activates when the user says hello or asks for a greeting. The model then follows the skill instructions and replies with the fixed greeting message defined in SKILL.md.

Can a Gemini CLI skill include scripts or other files?▼

Yes, a skill directory may optionally include scripts, references, and assets subdirectories. These resources are used on demand as directed by the SKILL.md instructions, though the greeter example uses none of them.
