threadbase: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

threadbase GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from ani3198/threadbase. It costs 209 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-specific instructions for working on the Threadbase codebase with Gemini CLI. They define which project rules, generated context, and memory files to read before making meaningful changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing Threadbase code: read the specified rules and context, generate missing project indexes, keep memory files updated, and avoid storing secrets in them.
Why use it?
They help an agent use the repository’s current rules and project knowledge instead of relying on incomplete or outdated assumptions.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is ani3198/threadbase's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on threadbase 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 threadbase 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

threadbase 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.

What it actually says

Threadbase Instructions for Gemini CLI

  • Read .ai/rules.md and .ai/generated/index.md before making meaningful code changes.
  • If .ai/generated/index.md is missing or empty, generate it from scratch using .ai/prompts/generate_index.md before meaningful implementation work.
  • Read .ai/generated/context.md when the task needs broader project state, active constraints, or recent cross-cutting changes.
  • If .ai/generated/context.md is missing or empty, generate it from scratch using .ai/prompts/generate_context.md before meaningful implementation work.
  • Keep generated files compact and use .ai/memory/* selectively on demand.
  • Treat .ai/memory/* as the authoritative project memory.
  • Record meaningful changes, decisions, requirements, and issues in small markdown files.
  • Regenerate .ai/generated/index.md and .ai/generated/context.md if they are missing, empty, or outdated.
  • Never store secrets, tokens, API keys, or credentials in Threadbase files.

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.
