 - **CONTRIBUTING**: Category selection guidance for contributors; issue-first policy for new top-level folders (#204).
 
+### Added
+
+- **Framework:** Added `_sanitize_gemini_tool_name()` to `skillware/core/loader.py` to explicitly map provider tool naming constraints.
+- **Tests:** Added `test_sanitize_gemini_tool_name()` to `tests/test_loader.py` to verify safe translation and `test_skill_docs_gemini_anti_patterns()` to `tests/test_registry_docs.py` to enforce documentation hygiene by preventing manual tool wrapping and mutation anti-patterns in skill catalog pages.
+- **Documentation:** Added canonical dispatch guidelines to `docs/usage/gemini.md` and `docs/usage/skill_usage_template.md`.
+
 ### Changed
 
 - **GitHub**: Overhauled issue templates (CLI, Skill Upgrade, Examples, Packaging), issue chooser `config.yml`, PR template, and label taxonomy with pastel colors; labels sync automatically from `.github/labels.json` via CI on merge to `main` (#227).
+- **Framework:** `SkillLoader.to_gemini_tool()` now returns a `google.genai.types.Tool` object instead of a raw dictionary, ensuring compatibility with the `google-genai` SDK when passing tools to `GenerateContentConfig`.
+- **Tests:** Updated `tests/test_loader.py` to assert against the properties of the `google.genai.types.Tool` object for `to_gemini_tool()`.
+- **Documentation:** Updated Gemini integration snippets across all skill catalog pages and `introduction.md` to reflect the `to_gemini_tool()` API change and correct tool name sanitization.
+- **Examples:** Removed manual `types.Tool` wrapping, and consistently utilize `SkillLoader._sanitize_gemini_tool_name()` for derived tool names in gemini examples.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Framework:** `SkillLoader.to_gemini_tool()` returned a plain dictionary instead of `google.genai.types.Tool`, causing runtime failures when passed to `GenerateContentConfig(tools=...)` with the `google-genai` SDK. Fixes #223.

 ### Step 1: Discovery & Loading
 The loader resolves `category/skill_name` to a skill directory by checking, in order: an existing path on disk, roots in `SKILLWARE_SKILL_PATH`, a `skills/` folder in the current working directory (or its parents), then bundled skills installed with the package. Each bundle is a directory containing `manifest.yaml` and `skill.py`.
 *   It dynamically imports the `skill.py` module and auto-discovers the single `BaseSkill` subclass as `bundle["class"]` (no hardcoded class names required).
-*   It parses the `manifest.yaml` (including `issuer` for attribution, separate from tool-calling fields). Registry skills set `name` to the full ID (`category/skill_name`), which Gemini and Claude use as the tool name; OpenAI and DeepSeek receive a sanitized variant (slashes → underscores). For registry-layout paths (`<skill_root>/<category>/<skill_name>/`), the loader warns when `name` does not match the folder path; flat private layouts (`<skill_root>/<skill_name>/`) skip this check. Loaded bundles expose `registry_id` when validation applies.

 In a manual Skillware loop, execute the matching local skill with `skill.execute(dict(part.function_call.args))`, then send a `function_response` back to Gemini so the model can produce the final answer.

Each block should be runnable: imports, `load_env_file()`, `load_skill`, `bundle["class"]()` (or explicit `bundle["module"].ClassName()`), adapter, system instructions, sample user message, and `execute` on tool call.
 
+For Gemini sections, ensure the dispatch matches the sanitized tool name (e.g. `SkillLoader._sanitize_gemini_tool_name(bundle["manifest"]["name"])` or adapter-derived name) rather than the raw registry ID with slashes. Do not manually wrap the tool output in `types.Tool(function_declarations=[...])`, as `to_gemini_tool()` already returns a `types.Tool` object.
