Google is launching Skills in Chrome - here's the gist:

• Chat with Gemini in Chrome while on a web page
• Recognize when your prompt is useful and something you'll want to do again on other web pages
• Type forward slash (/) or hit the plus sign (+) in the Gemini chat panel in Chrome, and it will save what you just did as a Skill
• The next time you want to use a saved Skill, open up the Gemini chat panel on a web page and type forward slash or hit the plus sign - it opens up your saved Skills, then you pick the one you want

Here are use case examples they give:

• Vegan substitutions for recipes
• Calculating macros for recipes
• Cross-reference your budget limitations with recipient preferences while shopping for a gift
• Generate a side-by-side product comparison across multiple Chrome tabs
• Summarize the key points from a lengthy page

There's also a Chrome skills library with ready-to-use Skills. I tried to access it using the URL in the screenshot but the page doesn't exist. The blog has a bunch of images and videos showing how all this works.

Starting today, it's rolling out on Mac/Windows desktop, and ChromeOS users with language set to English (not seeing it yet myself). I'm still not seeing the vertical tab organization & immersive reading they announced a week ago.
