I really hope this doesn't have the same security model as Chrome Extensions! I can see the appeal of this feature and I am generally speaking an AI booster. On the other hand...like...wat? This feature feels way too premature and risky to let loose on the public.

There are no third-party Skills, you can only create your own or use Google's readymade ones.

my most commonly repeated prompt; would be nice if the baked it into the tool itself: "No emojis. be concise. no suggestions unless I explicitly ask for them. answer questions like the machine you are. Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot."

I'd add "no ass-kissing"

> Don't try and add personality or humour; remember you're a robot." > remember you're a robot." The anthropomorphization juxtaposed to the actual command is a bit ironic.

It really does make you wonder why all the models seem to require that. In principle, it shouldn't be a property of LLMs, and lol no it's not an "emergent property".

My prompt collection lives in three different places right now — Raycast snippets, Apple Notes, and a Notion page that keeps growing. I know I wrote a good one for my git commit/push flow somewhere, but finding it when I need it usually takes longer than just rewriting it. The browser approach makes sense for Claude code and ChatGPT. I wonder how well it holds up once you have 50+ prompts though — finding the right o…

My prompt collection simply lives in my chat history. I just hit search and type in something unique I remember.

This is cleaner, though :)

Post-training and "human preference" according to "data". Don't know a single developer who use these tools for work who prefer that though, but also don't know anyone who use LLMs a lot just "for fun" either, might just be vastly different preferences between the two userbases.

If you can create your own, what's stopping you from copy pasting someone else's?

Over the past few months, more than a few Google Doodles have simply been Gemini search prompts. This was extremely underwhelming as I usually expect a fun game or some kind of clever hack to ensue. I was also rather irate that Google could simply insert some false prompt into my Gemini conversation history. "I did not say that!"

Furthermore, it led me to muse whether "Prompt Gemini for " was a thing that any URL could do? If I went to a random malicious website, could they prompt Gemini to do something for me? If Gemini was hooked up to my Gmail, could a malicious prompt delete all my email, and all it would take is a misclick? Chilling.
