Skillware provides first-class support for Google's Gemini models via the google-genai SDK.
pip install "skillware[gemini]"This installs the google-genai package. Set GOOGLE_API_KEY in your environment or .env file before running Gemini examples.

# Load & Convert
skill = SkillLoader.load_skill("finance/wallet_screening")
skill_instance = skill["class"](
config={"ETHERSCAN_API_KEY": os.environ.get("ETHERSCAN_API_KEY")}
)
# Or: skill_instance = skill["module"].WalletScreeningSkill(config={...})
tool = SkillLoader.to_gemini_tool(skill)
# Initialize the google-genai client

{

print(part.text)Gemini uses FunctionDeclaration objects (defined in Protobuf) to describe tools to the model.
The manifest.yaml uses standard JSON Schema types (lowercase string, object).
Gemini requires Protobuf types (uppercase STRING, OBJECT).
SkillLoader.to_gemini_tool() handles this conversion automatically. It recursively walks your parameter schema, sanitizes the tool name, and returns a ready-to-use types.Tool object compatible with Gemini's backend.
Gemini 3.5+ supports system_instruction. Pass instructions.md (Directive) there so the model knows when and how to use the tool.
Without system_instruction, the model knows it has a tool but lacks the skill's invocation guidance. Injecting instructions.md supplies that Directive layer for the session.
The google-genai SDK returns model parts that can include function_call requests.
In a manual Skillware loop, execute the matching local skill with skill.execute(dict(part.function_call.args)), then send a function_response back to Gemini so the model can produce the final answer.
If you use an automatic-calling helper in your own app, keep the same boundary: Skillware executes locally, and the tool result is returned to the model before you show a final response.
Canonical Dispatch: When matching the requested function_call.name against your skill in a multi-tool agent loop, always match against the sanitized name (e.g. SkillLoader._sanitize_gemini_tool_name(bundle["manifest"]["name"]) or the adapter-derived tool.function_declarations[0].name), not the raw registry ID with slashes.
If you need granular control (e.g., to sanitize inputs or show progress bars), use the manual loop:
response = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3.5-flash",
contents="Scan wallet 0xd8dA... for risks.",
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
tools=[tool],
system_instruction=skill["instructions"],
),
)
for part in response.candidates[0].content.parts:
if fn := part.function_call:
print(f"Model wants to call {fn.name} with {fn.args}")
# 1. Run Effect
result = skill_instance.execute(dict(fn.args))
# 2. Send Result
follow_up = client.models.generate_content(
model="gemini-3.5-flash",
contents=[
"Use this tool result to answer the original request.",
{"function_response": {"name": fn.name, "response": {"result": result}}},
],
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
tools=[tool],
system_instruction=skill["instructions"],
),
)Skillware's modular design allows treating skills as deterministic offline logic blocks. For example, you can seamlessly chain the Prompt Token Rewriter to optimize context before hitting the LLM:
# Load the middleware skill
rewriter = SkillLoader.load_skill("optimization/prompt_rewriter")
sys_prompt = "You are a very helpful assistant serving a bank..."
# Use python logic offline before starting the chat session
optimized_ctx_result = rewriter["class"]().execute({
"raw_text": sys_prompt,
"compression_aggression": "high"
})
# Or: rewriter["module"].PromptRewriter().execute({...})
response = client.models.generate_content(
model='gemini-3.5-flash',
contents="Summarize the optimized context.",
config=types.GenerateContentConfig(
system_instruction=optimized_ctx_result["compressed_text"],
),
