What is skills?

A collection of reusable, composable skills for building advanced conversational AI agents for Google products.

What does skills do?

This repository provides a standardized library of modular 'skills' designed to be integrated into conversational AI systems and autonomous agents, specifically tailored for Google products and technologies. Developed by Google, it aims to create a common interface for tasks across Google Cloud, AI/ML platforms, infrastructure, databases, and developer tools, allowing developers to plug and play these capabilities. The framework emphasizes composability, enabling complex behaviors to be constructed by chaining multiple fundamental skills together. It is built to be agnostic of the underlying LLM, focusing heavily on the execution and parameterization of the tasks.

Who is skills for?

AI developers and software engineers building conversational interfaces or autonomous agents, particularly those working extensively within the Google Cloud ecosystem.
