Google has built an “Agent Skill” for the Gemini API that tackles a fundamental problem with AI coding assistants: once trained, language models don’t know about their own updates or current best practices. The new skill feeds coding agents up-to-date information about current models, SDKs, and sample code. In tests across 117 tasks, the top-performing model (Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview) jumped from 28.2 to 96.6 percent success rate. Skills were first introduced late last year by Anthropic and quickly adopted by other AI companies.
