Description

@Lyrnic

What happened?

Failed to link skills: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink 'C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME.gemini\antigravity\skills\xlsx' -> 'C:\Users\MY_USER_NAME.gemini\skills\xlsx'

What did you expect to happen?

It should simply create the file link, the error indicates that the node js process lacks some basic permissions to do so,
