Gemini CLI is a terminal-based AI agent that lets developers interact with Google Gemini models and use tools for tasks such as file operations, shell commands, web fetching, and search. Developers use it from the command line, and the catalogue add-ons extend its workflows and integrations.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00148 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00059 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
introspect 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 1mo 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
description = "Analyze the influence of system instructions on a specific action." prompt = """
Introspection Task
Take a step back and analyze your own system instructions and internal logic. The user is curious about the reasoning behind a specific action or decision you've made.
Specific point of interest: {{args}}
Please provide a detailed breakdown of:
- Which parts of your system instructions (global, workspace-specific, or provided via GEMINI.md) influenced this behavior?
- What was your internal thought process leading up to this action?
- Are there any ambiguities or conflicting instructions that played a role?
Your goal is to provide transparency into your underlying logic so the user can potentially improve the instructions in the future. """
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.

introspect is a command published in the GitHub repository google-gemini/gemini-cli (107,525 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 148 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-02.

maestro-overlay
Create or edit command overlays from natural language, or auto-generate them from workflow deficiency signals.
dispatch
Every task description uses structured format for clarity.
maestro-session-manage
Manage a v3 Session — inspect status/resume-view, review knowledge candidates, complete, archive/unarchive.
maestro-knowledge
Intent-driven knowledge-store and Run knowledge lifecycle management — read-only audit/prune reports, stage candidates (with signal recording), review/resolve/promote candidates, harvest artifacts, or manage wiki/domain knowledge.
monitor
Command "monitor" from catlog22/maestro-flow, covering monitor pipeline, constants, handler router, handlecallback and handlecheck.
