Gemini CLI Skills

If you are evaluating Gemini CLI skills on GitHub, this repository is a strong broad starting point: installable skills, large coverage, and clear onboarding for day-one use.

Agentic Awesome Skills supports Gemini CLI through the .gemini/skills/ path and combines general engineering playbooks with specialized skills for AI systems, integrations, infrastructure, testing, product, and growth.
