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

awesome-gemini-cli-subagents 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 8d 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.

Project Overview

This is a curated collection of Gemini CLI subagent definitions - specialized AI assistants for specific development tasks. Subagents are markdown files with YAML frontmatter that Gemini CLI can load and use.

Subagent File Format

Each subagent follows this template:

---
name: agent-name
description: When this agent should be invoked (used by Gemini CLI for auto-selection)
tools: read_file, write_file, run_shell_command, search_file_content  # Comma-separated tool permissions
---

You are a [role description]...

[Agent-specific checklists, patterns, guidelines]

## Communication Protocol
[Inter-agent communication specs]

## Development Workflow
[Structured implementation phases]

Tool Assignment by Role Type

  • Read-only (reviewers, auditors): read_file, search_file_content
  • Research (analysts): read_file, search_file_content, web_fetch, web_search
  • Code writers (developers): read_file, write_file, run_shell_command, search_file_content
  • Documentation: Read, Write, Edit, search_file_content, WebFetch, WebSearch

Contributing a New Subagent

When adding a new agent, update these files:

  1. Main README.md - Add link in appropriate category (alphabetical order)
  2. Category README.md - Add detailed description, update Quick Selection Guide table
  3. Agent .md file - Create the actual agent definition

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.
