What This Skill Covers
- The easiest way to authenticate to the Gemini API is to configure an API key, as described in the Gemini API quickstart. If you need stricter access controls...
- Main sections:
Objectives,Prerequisites,Set up your cloud project,1. Enable the API,2. Configure the OAuth consent screen.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
