Congrats on the latest Gemini CLI preview release! The new Agent Skills feature seems to work without any problems. I was able to trigger my skill both through natural language and by explicitly instructing the CLI to use it. The UI design generated by my frontend-ui-designer skill came out great—clean, coherent, and polished. Keep up the excellent work!

Here’s the UI design that my skill generated.
