## Summary

Google and partners introduce Modern Web Guidance, a set of skills that embed web platform expertise, best practices, and browser compatibility data into coding agents. The tool runs local searches and retrieves guides so agents adopt current browser APIs instead of legacy JavaScript patterns. Guides for experimental Origin Trial or volatile features remain searchable but are gated on retrieve until the developer opts in.
