What This Skill Covers
- Use generateContent or streamGenerateContent to generate content with Gemini.
- Main sections:
Get started,Supported models,Parameter list,Request body,contents.
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.
