What it does
Google Genai SDK Python is an agent skill from cnemri/google-genai-skills. Expert guidance for writing Python code using the official Google GenAI SDK (google-genai) for Gemini API and Vertex AI. Use for text generation, multimodal inputs, reasoning, tools, and media generation.
Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/chat.md`, `references/media_generation.md` and `references/models.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM API integration. It works with Python, Google Gemini and Vertex AI. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Text generation
- Multimodal inputs
- Media generation
Example prompts
- “/google-genai-sdk-python”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Unified SDK: Always use google-genai.
- Stateless Models: Use client.models for single requests.
- Stateful Chats: Use client.chats for conversations.
- Types: Import from google.genai.types.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7277476. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Google Genai SDK Python loads about 422 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Text Generation: Basic inference, streaming, system instructions, safety.
- Chat: Multi-turn conversations and history.
- Reasoning: Thinking config (
thinking_level/thinking_budget), thought signatures. - Structured Output: JSON schemas, Pydantic models, Enums.
- Multimodal Inputs: Images, audio, video, PDFs, media resolution.
- Tools: Function calling, code execution, Google Search grounding.
- Media Generation: Image generation/editing (Imagen), video generation (Veo).
- Source Code: Raw SDK source code for deep inspection.
