What happened?

I tried to import my skill repository running the following command

/skills link .gemini/antigravity/skills

The import fails mixing two different skills xlsx-official and xlsx

ℹ Searching for skills in /home/user/.gemini/antigravity/skills... ✕ Failed to link skills: Duplicate skill name "xlsx-official" found at multiple locations: - /home/user/.gemini/antigravity/skills/xlsx-official/SKILL.md - /home/user/.gemini/antigravity/skills/xlsx/SKILL.md

What did you expect to happen?

Import both

Client information

<details> <summary>Client Information</summary> 1. Install antigravity skills from this repository https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/tree/main
npx antigravity-awesome-skills

The new skills should be located in ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills

  1. Run gemini to enter the interactive CLI, then run the /skills link .gemini/antigravity/skills command.

TL;DR

Remove or rename one of the duplicate skills to resolve the conflict.

Guidance

  • Identify the duplicate skills (xlsx-official and xlsx) and decide which one to keep.
  • Remove the unwanted skill by deleting its directory (/home/user/.gemini/antigravity/skills/xlsx or /home/user/.gemini/antigravity/skills/xlsx-official).
  • Alternatively, rename one of the skills by modifying its SKILL.md file and directory name to a unique name.
  • After resolving the conflict, re-run the /skills link .gemini/antigravity/skills command to import the skills.

Example

No code snippet is necessary for this issue, as it involves file system modifications.

Notes

This solution assumes that the duplicate skills are not intended to coexist. If both skills are needed, a more complex solution involving skill renaming or merging may be required.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Remove or rename one of the duplicate skills, as this is a straightforward solution to resolve the conflict.
