I've just published the next part of my "Vibe Coding to Production" blog series. If you're relying on environment variables for your API keys, it's time to upgrade. I've described the end-to-end process at blog.ankur.cc/vibe-to-prod...

Fixing #AISlop with a #SKILL.md in #geminicli

Well, at least, removing as much sloppiness as possible from AI generated text! And making it more human-readable ☺️

Inspired by the awesome tropes.fyi

What open source skill are you most excited to build this year?

OpenTitan®—the first open-source silicon Root of Trust—now shipping in Chromebooks. 🚀 It brings transparency to the hardware level and a more secure ecosystem for everyone.

Is "Vibe Coding" the future of work, or just technical debt at the speed of thought?

Lately, I’ve been exploring the bridge between AI-generated prototypes and resilient, production-ready systems.

So nice to have the retry logic. It's rough when I've got a working flow and it doesn't complete because of a single 429 near the end.

3 tips to build resilience into your GenAI application:

⏳ Use exponential backoff for API calls, ideally directly in the SDK
🔌 Apply a circuit breaker during instability to prevent cascading failures
🖼️ Use "skeleton components" for loading to improve perceived performance

Migrating to AGP 9.0 with an Agent Skill I wrote my first Agent Skill to migrate Android projects to AGP 9.0.0

Here's my naive attempt at writing an Agent Skill to accomplish the task I had at hand (migrate to AGP 9.0)

Feedback and suggestions on what I could have done better are more than welcome! :)

AI coding agents often use outdated packages or call out of date models. This is due to model knowledge cutoffs. In this blog post, I cover how to use Agent Skills to ensure Google Antigravity uses the newest Gemini APIs and stops writing deprecated code.
