Google is rolling out Skills in Chrome, which lets people save and reuse Gemini prompts with one click across devices when signed in.
In short: Google is adding “Skills” to Chrome so you can save Gemini prompts and run them again later with a click.
Google is starting to roll out a new feature in the Chrome browser called Skills. Skills are saved Gemini prompts, which are the written instructions you give to Google’s chatbot.
Before this, if you wanted Gemini to repeat a task in Chrome, you had to type the same prompt again each time, or copy and paste it from somewhere else. With Skills, you can store a prompt like a shortcut (similar to saving a template email) and then run it again on the page you are viewing.
Google says saved Skills will follow you across devices on the desktop version of Chrome, as long as you are signed in to your Google account. You can access them by typing a forward slash (/) in Gemini or clicking a plus button to see your saved Skills. When you click a Skill, it runs in the current tab, and some Skills can use information from multiple tabs.
Google is also adding a Skills Library with pre-made prompts you can add and edit. Examples mentioned include summarizing long pages, creating comparison tables from multiple tabs, and calculating nutrition “macros” for a recipe (macros are the amounts of protein, carbs, and fat).
The company says Skills follow the same safety rules as manual prompts. For actions like sending a message or adding something to your calendar, Gemini will still ask for confirmation.
For people who already use Gemini in Chrome, Skills can save time on repeat tasks by turning your favorite prompts into one-click actions. It also lowers the effort to try Gemini, since you can start from a ready-made Skill and adjust it instead of writing instructions from scratch.
