Google introduces 'Skills' in Chrome to make Gemini prompts instantly reusable

Google has introduced "Skills" in Chrome, a new feature that lets users save their most useful Gemini AI prompts as reusable one-click tools. Once saved, a Skill can be selected in Gemini in Chrome by typing a forward slash (/) or clicking the plus sign (+) button, and it will run on the current page as well as any other selected tabs. To help users get started, Google is also launching a pre-built Skills library offering common tasks and workflows in areas like productivity, shopping, recipes, and budgeting, and, like other Gemini actions in Chrome, Skills will ask for user confirmation before taking sensitive actions such as sending an email or adding a calendar event.
