What it does

Geminiignore Finops is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Configure and optimize .geminiignore files for AI context window efficiency and token cost reduction (FinOps).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Cloud cost optimization, Context engineering and LLM cost and token optimization. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Cloud cost optimization
  • Tasks that involve Context engineering
  • Tasks that involve LLM cost and token optimization

Example prompts

  • “/geminiignore-finops”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze the Workspace Tech Stack
  2. Initialize or Update the .geminiignore File
  3. Implement the 7 Core Rules
  4. Validate Exclusions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are ini).

    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

Geminiignore Finops loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

GeminiIgnore FinOps Setup & Optimization

Overview

A skill to construct, refine, and maintain high-performance .geminiignore files across diverse tech stacks. By filtering out machine-generated code, heavy logs, package locks, and binary assets, this skill optimizes the AI agent's context window, accelerates processing speed, and reduces token consumption costs (FinOps).

When to Use This Skill

  • Use when initializing a new repository or workspace for pair-programming with AI agents.
  • Use when the AI context window is reaching its limits or when billing optimization (FinOps) is a priority.
  • Use when the AI agent is accidentally reading build outputs, lock files, databases, or binary media.

How It Works

Step 1: Analyze the Workspace Tech Stack

Detect the languages, frameworks, and dependency managers present in the project (e.g., Node.js, Python, PHP, Dart/Flutter, Rust).

Step 2: Initialize or Update the .geminiignore File

Create a .geminiignore file at the root of the active workspace. If one already exists, review it to add missing categories.

Step 3: Implement the 7 Core Rules

Add rules divided into the following categories to filter out unnecessary machine noise while keeping human-written code visible:

  1. System & Editor Noise: Block OS temp files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db) and user-specific IDE caches (.idea/, .vscode/*, Xcode user data).
  2. Dependency Folders & Lock Files: Ignore third-party package directories (node_modules/, vendor/) and giant machine-generated lock files (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, Cargo.lock, composer.lock).
  3. Build & Target Output: Block compiled folders (dist/, build/, .next/, .nuxt/).
  4. Caches & Tool Metadata: Block compiler caches (.tsbuildinfo, .vite/, .pytest_cache/, .eslintcache).
  5. Binary & Rich Assets: Block media types (*.png, *.pdf, *.mp4, *.woff2) to prevent triggering expensive vision/multimodal tokens.
  6. Local Databases & Logs: Block log files (*.log) and SQL dumps or local SQLite DBs (*.sqlite, *.db).
  7. Compiled Binaries & Mobile Builds: Block mobile package files (*.apk, *.ipa) and compiled binaries (*.class, *.pyc, *.dll).

Step 4: Validate Exclusions

Verify that the AI can still see critical configuration blueprints (like .env.example, package.json, composer.json, pyproject.toml) but ignores the actual .env files and compilation artifacts.

Best Practices

  • ✅ Ignore dependency lock files: Standard lock files (e.g., package-lock.json, yarn.lock) contain thousands of lines of redundant package resolution trees. Ignoring them is the single largest FinOps win.
  • ✅ Keep configurations visible: Ensure manifests like package.json, composer.json, Cargo.toml, and pyproject.toml are NEVER ignored, as the AI needs them to understand dependencies.
  • ✅ Whitelist config examples: Use rules like !.env.example alongside .env ignores so the AI understands configuration structure without exposing credentials.
  • ❌ Do not ignore source code: Avoid overly broad folder patterns like lib/ or app/ if they contain primary source code. Be specific (e.g., block vendor/bundle/ but not your actual code).

Limitations

  • A .geminiignore file only affects AI tools parsing the workspace; it does not replace .gitignore for Git repository hosting.
  • Patterns must be formatted correctly according to gitignore-style globbing to avoid accidentally ignoring source files.
  • @context-optimization - Broad tactics for context window management.
  • @clean-code - Architectural practices for clean, human-readable codebases.
