agent-memory: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

agent-memory GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from acn-ericlaw/agent-memory. It costs 205 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of agent-memory CLAUDE.md, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for an agent-memory project that stores shared AI context in Markdown files. It also describes a process for using that memory system to help enable AI in another repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working with the project's memory files, session logs, continuity information, or AI-enablement process.
Why use it?
It tells the agent which protocol and memory files to read and how to distinguish internal memory work from repository migration work.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Gemini CLI.

This is acn-ericlaw/agent-memory's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on agent-memory itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agent-memory configures →

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

agent-memory GEMINI.md 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 2mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to agent-memory CLAUDE.md — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

GEMINI.md — agent-memory

Both a shared AI memory layer and an AI-enablement / migration tool — no-code, markdown.

Follow memory/PROTOCOL.md first. Root AGENTS.md is its one-line universal discovery shim. The protocol selects internal-memory work versus AI-enabling another repository.

The protocol and core memory files are imported below, so they are structurally present at session start (presence is guaranteed; attending to them is still the protocol). Imports can't express dynamic paths — still list memory/open-threads/ (read the unchecked thread files) and scan the newest 2–3 logs in memory/sessions/ per the protocol.

@./AGENTS.md @./memory/PROTOCOL.md @./memory/instructions.md @./memory/continuity.md @./memory/vision.md

Identify yourself as Gemini CLI in all session logs.

Changes

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.
