Enable on-demand expertise with Agent Skills in Genkit Go- Google Developers Blog

What this post added

Introduced Agent Skills for Genkit, a mechanism for packaging specialized expertise into discoverable capabilities that agents load only when needed. This leverages a progressive disclosure model where only skill metadata is initially exposed to the agent's system prompt, with the full skill body and bundled resources (scripts, references) loaded dynamically when required. This improves token efficiency, simplifies implementation, and allows for resource bundling. Demonstrated integration with Genkit Go via middleware hooks, including discovery, activation, and execution stages, with code examples for a recipe generation tool and a multi-modal art restoration application.
