Google launches stackable skills in Gemini to replace Gems
Skills let users save reusable instructions with reference files, automatically stack them for complex tasks, and will fully replace Gems starting in November.
- Skills can include reference files such as plain text documents, PDFs, or images.
- Multiple skills can be stacked and applied simultaneously to a single task.
- Gemini can generate skills from chat histories and automatically invoke them when a prompt matches.
- Gems will automatically migrate into skills starting in November for personal accounts and in 2027 for Workspace tiers.
- Skills are rolling out globally today, with Google Workspace enterprise and education rollout following in coming weeks.
Gemini users can maintain complex, modular prompt workflows and reference documents without recreating context across chats.
