What you will make
A practical Gemini guide to design reusable instructions during the Gems transition. Use the sample input and prompt, then check the result. Use a fictional office operations task as the practice setting. State the source revision and review date alongside the requested output.
Prepare the source and scope
Record the interface shown in your account. Google says personal-account Gems begin transitioning to skills in November 2026; retain a plain-text copy of instructions. Open Gemini Apps and use the account and source options permitted for this assignment.
Try this prompt
In Gemini, provide the prepared input, then send the following request. For real work, replace fictional details with approved facts.
Write reusable instructions for a weekly support-summary assistant: inputs, allowed sources, output sections and handling of missing facts. Keep the text portable between interfaces.Review the result
Test the instructions on a small fictional week and verify missing facts are marked rather than invented. Record each correction and its supporting source.
If the answer is wrong or incomplete
Account interfaces may transition on different schedules. Use the available reusable-instruction surface rather than assuming a particular menu name. Name the exact source being used. If a connected or uploaded file is unavailable, paste a permitted excerpt and continue with that limited evidence.
Practice and completion check
Repeat with one incomplete input. Check the answer against the review criteria, remove unsupported claims and save the prompt with its source version. This workflow has not been verified in a customer deployment.
