File contents

Gemini API (Cursor)

Canonical source

.claude/skills/gemini-api/SKILL.md includes ai.google.dev links and patterns for models 2.5/3.x family features.

In Cursor

Read the relevant section in the canonical skill (grounding, vision, streaming, etc.).
Use WebFetch on the official Gemini docs URLs from that skill when verifying current model IDs or API shapes.
Use googleClient and getGeminiModel() from src/lib/ai/clients/google.ts; never read process.env.GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY directly in feature code.
