Google is launching a new called Skills in Gemini chat. Skills let users save frequently used prompts as reusable commands that can be invoked with a forward slash (/) and the skill name. The feature is live globally for Gemini Spark users and will be extended to Google Workspace customers in the coming weeks. Skills can combine multiple instructions, include reference files such as PDFs or images, and will inherit capabilities previously offered by Gems, such as sharing and Drive integration. Google will automatically migrate existing Gems into Skills and will discontinue Gems for personal accounts in November, for Workspace business, enterprise, and nonprofit customers in March 2027, and for education customers in June 2027. The related Opal 2 mini‑app experiment will also be retired at the same time.
