Gemini

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to run Gemini CLI for code review
• Big context (200k) processing

Example prompts

• “/gemini”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Ask the user (via AskUserQuestion) which model to use in a single prompt. Available models
2. 2Select the approval mode based on the task
3. 3Assemble the command with appropriate options
4. 4For background/automated tasks, ALWAYS use --approval-mode yolo or add timeout wrapper. NEVER use default in non-interactive shells.
5. 5Run the command and capture the output. For background/automated mode
6. 6For interactive sessions with an initial prompt
7. 7After Gemini completes, inform the user: "The Gemini analysis is complete. You can start a new Gemini session for follow-up analysis or…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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 loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 839 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~63

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.5k

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

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

Use when the user asks to run Gemini CLI for code review, plan review, or big context (>200k) processing. Ideal for comprehensive analysis requiring large context windows. Uses Gemini 3 Pro by default for state-of-the-art reasoning and coding.

# Check if hung
ps aux | grep gemini | grep -v grep

# Kill if necessary
pkill -9 -f "gemini.*gemini-3-pro-preview"

# For background execution (Claude Code, CI/CD, etc.)
gemini -m gemini-3-pro-preview --approval-mode yolo \
  "Perform a comprehensive code review focusing on:
   1. Security vulnerabilities
   2. Performance issues
   3. Code quality and maintainability
   4. Best practices violations"

# With timeout safety (5 minutes)
timeout 300 gemini -m gemini-3-pro-preview --approval-mode yolo \
  "Perform a comprehensive code review..."

# For background execution
gemini -m gemini-3-pro-preview --approval-mode yolo \
  "Review this architectural plan for:
   1. Scalability concerns
   2. Missing components
   3. Integration challenges
   4. Alternative approaches"

# For background execution
gemini -m gemini-3-pro-preview --approval-mode yolo \
  "Analyze the entire codebase to understand:
   1. Overall architecture
   2. Key patterns and conventions
   3. Potential technical debt
   4. Refactoring opportunities"

# ONLY use default mode in interactive terminal
gemini -m gemini-3-pro-preview --approval-mode default \
  "Review the authentication flow for security issues"

# Check for hung processes
ps aux | grep -E "gemini.*gemini-3" | grep -v grep

# Look for these symptoms:
# - Process running 20+ minutes
# - CPU usage at 0%
# - Process state 'S' (sleeping)
# - No network connections

# Get detailed process info
ps -o pid,etime,pcpu,stat,command -p <PID>

# Check network activity
lsof -p <PID> 2>/dev/null | grep -E "(TCP|ESTABLISHED)" | wc -l
# If result is 0, process is hung

# Kill hung Gemini processes
pkill -9 -f "gemini.*gemini-3-pro-preview"

# Or kill specific PID
kill -9 <PID>

# Verify cleanup
ps aux | grep gemini | grep -v grep
