# How to Teach Antigravity New Skills To teach me a new skill that persists across different sessions and folders, you can add it to your personal skills library. ## 1. Location Skills are stored in your home directory under `.gemini/antigravity/skills`. I have just created this directory for you if it didn't exist: `/Users/jenstandstad/.gemini/antigravity/skills` ## 2. Structure Each skill should be its own folder within the `skills` directory. The folder name should be the skill's identifier (e.g., `react-best-practices` or `python-data-analysis`). Inside the skill folder, you **MUST** include a `SKILL.md` file. Example structure: ``` /Users/jenstandstad/.gemini/antigravity/skills/ └── my-custom-skill/ ├── SKILL.md (Required) ├── scripts/ (Optional: helper scripts) └── templates/ (Optional: code templates) ``` ## 3. The `SKILL.md` Format The `SKILL.md` file is the core of the skill. It must start with YAML frontmatter defining its name and description, followed by the markdown instructions. **Template:** ```markdown --- name: [Skill Name] description: [Short description of what this skill does and when I should use it] --- # [Skill Name] Instructions [Detailed instructions on how to perform the skill.] ## Guidelines - Rule 1 - Rule 2 ## Examples ... ``` ## 4. How I Use Skills When you ask me to perform a task, I will check your skills library. If a skill's description matches your request, I will read the `SKILL.md` file and follow its instructions. ## Example: Creating a "Code Review" Skill 1. Create the folder: `mkdir -p ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/code-review` 2. Create `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/code-review/SKILL.md` with: ```markdown --- name: Strict Code Review description: Guidelines for performing a strict security and style validaton code review. --- # Strict Code Review When reviewing code, focus on: 1. **Security**: Check for injection vulnerabilities. 2. **Performance**: O(n^2) loops are banned. 3. **Style**: Use 4 spaces for indentation in Python. ``` Now, whenever you ask me to "review this code", I will apply these specific rules.
