In what order does the skill look for API keys?

It checks the process environment, the project root .env, the .claude/.env folder, the .claude/skills/.env folder, and finally the specific skill directory .env file.

Does it handle client creation automatically?

Yes, the skill provides a get_client() helper function that automatically initializes the appropriate Gemini client based on your current environment configuration.

What is the primary purpose of the Common skill?

It serves as a shared library to manage authentication and configuration for other Claude Code skills that interact with Google's Gemini API or Vertex AI.

How do I implement this utility in a new skill?

You can import the helper modules, such as api_key_helper, by adding the common directory to your Python path within your skill's implementation.

Does this skill support Google Cloud Vertex AI?

Yes, it includes full support for Vertex AI. You can enable it by setting the GEMINI_USE_VERTEX environment variable to true and providing your GCP project details.

API 开发

Streamlines Gemini API integration by managing authentication, Vertex AI configurations, and client initialization for Claude Code skills.

The Common Skill Utilities act as a foundational dependency for any Claude Code skill requiring access to Google's Gemini models. It eliminates redundant setup by providing a robust API key management system that searches across multiple environment levels, alongside specialized helpers for switching between Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. By centralizing client initialization and configuration logic, it allows developers to focus on building skill-specific features rather than managing boilerplate connection code.
