  • Delegating a repository review to Gemini CLI
  • SKILL.md covers Run and Authentication And Permissions
  • Calls gemini

What it does

This skill lets the agent pass a task to Gemini CLI and bring the answer back, which also suits comparing Gemini's result with another coding agent's. The call is `gemini -p` with `--output-format json`, run from the exact project you named under a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes, after a `command -v gemini` check.

The JSON response is parsed, and a JSON error or a nonzero exit counts as failure. Interactive Gemini and any authentication flow are off limits, so if setup is incomplete the agent stops and asks you to finish it in Code Mate. The headless approval policy stays at its read-only default. When you explicitly want workspace changes, only the narrowest policy and tool permissions needed may be granted, never unrestricted approval.

When your agent uses it

  • Delegating a repository review to Gemini CLI
  • Comparing Gemini's answer to a bug with another coding agent's answer
  • Having Gemini make a narrowly scoped edit you have approved

Example prompts

  • “Ask Gemini CLI to review the billing module without editing anything and summarize its findings.”
  • “Get Gemini's take on why the nightly build fails, then compare it with your own diagnosis.”
  • “Have Gemini rename the config helper across src/utils, and keep its permissions as tight as possible.”

Requirements

  • Gemini CLI installed through Code Mate
  • Gemini authentication and project setup already finished

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
  2. Check availability with command -v gemini. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install Gemini CLI in Code Mate.
  3. Run one task and exit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd0767e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gemini

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gemini CLI Delegation loads about 334 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~334

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Runs Gemini CLI headlessly for repository analysis and coding tasks. Use when the user asks to delegate work to Gemini CLI or compare its result with another coding agent.

Gemini CLI

Run

  1. Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
  2. Check availability with command -v gemini. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install Gemini CLI in Code Mate.
  3. Run one task and exit:
bash
gemini -p "<prompt>" --output-format json

Pass the prompt as one quoted argument. Parse the JSON result and treat a JSON error or nonzero exit as failure. Never start interactive Gemini or an authentication flow.

Authentication And Permissions

If Gemini reports missing authentication, project, or provider configuration, stop and ask the user to finish Gemini setup in Code Mate. Never request, read, print, or copy credentials.

Keep headless approval policy at its read-only default. Only when the user explicitly requests workspace changes may the command use the narrowest policy and tool permissions needed; do not enable unrestricted approval.

Example: ask Gemini to review a module without editing, run the command above from the repository, and summarize the parsed response and any reported error.
