gemini-challenge

gemini-challenge is a command for coding agents from azmym/gemini-plugin. It costs 10 tokens per session (204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that asks Gemini to challenge a decision or suggest alternatives. It is intended for constructive criticism of a proposed approach, including code or files when they are relevant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a technical decision, request at least two alternatives, identify failure scenarios, and list issues that must be resolved.
Why use it?
It exposes weaknesses, trade-offs, alternatives, and possible failure cases before you commit to a design or implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gemini-challenge scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are running the /gemini-plugin:gemini-challenge slash command.

The user wants a devil's advocate perspective. Spawn @agent-gemini-plugin:gemini-challenger with the following task:

Task: AD_HOC_CHALLENGE Topic: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions for the challenger:

  1. If the topic references code or files, read them for context.
  2. Argue against the current approach constructively.
  3. Propose at least 2 concrete alternatives with tradeoffs.
  4. Identify at least 1 specific failure scenario.
  5. Return the structured JSON verdict.

Block until the challenger returns, then present:

  • Verdict: pass/fail/block
  • Alternatives: numbered list with tradeoffs
  • Objections: bulleted list
  • Must address: items requiring resolution before proceeding

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
