Google adds Skills to Gemini App: save instructions once, reuse with a '/' command
GeminiApp · x · 2026-10-01
Google announced Skills for the Gemini App, aimed at automating repetitive tasks.
- Users can save frequently used instructions once and invoke them endlessly by typing '/' in the prompt bar.
- It mirrors the skills concept popularized by Claude: turning high-frequency workflows into reusable instruction templates.
- Announced officially by Google and GeminiApp accounts, so it's a confirmed launch, not a rumor.
