Google explains how it ships Agent Skills like products with CI gates and an AI review agent

Google Agent Skills now hosts over 170 skills from teams across Google and has passed 21,000 GitHub stars, up from 15,000, and its maintainers describe the pipeline every change must clear. Each pull request passes six automated gates, including structural conformance, linters, semantic versioning, evaluation suite validation, link checks and an AI review agent, before a human subject matter expert approves it. The post also shares lessons such as atomic evaluation expectations, generated index files and running cheap deterministic checks before expensive LLM checks.
