cosmosdb-agent-kit: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

cosmosdb-agent-kit GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from AzureCosmosDB/cosmosdb-agent-kit. It costs 336 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An instruction file for an Azure Cosmos DB Gemini extension. It describes skills for Cosmos DB, a cloud NoSQL database, including data modeling, partition keys, queries, indexing, search, distribution, security, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review data models, choose partition keys, optimize queries, use the SDK, configure vector or full-text search, and plan security or global distribution.
Why use it?
It helps Gemini recognize which database guidance to apply when designing or reviewing a Cosmos DB application.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md.

This is AzureCosmosDB/cosmosdb-agent-kit's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on cosmosdb-agent-kit 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 cosmosdb-agent-kit 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

cosmosdb-agent-kit 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 6d 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

Azure Cosmos DB Gemini Extension

This extension provides best practice skills for Azure Cosmos DB (NoSQL) — covering data modeling, partition key design, query optimization, SDK usage, indexing strategies, vector search, full-text search, global distribution, security, monitoring, and design patterns.

Installation

Install via the skills CLI:

npx skills add AzureCosmosDB/cosmosdb-agent-kit

Or copy the extension file into your Gemini configuration directory.

Usage

Once installed, the skills are automatically available when Gemini detects tasks related to Azure Cosmos DB. Example prompts:

  • "Review my Cosmos DB data model for performance issues"
  • "Help me choose a partition key for my e-commerce orders"
  • "Optimize this query to reduce RU consumption"
  • "Set up vector search on my Cosmos DB container"
  • "What security do I need for a new Cosmos DB app?"

Skill Categories

Priority Category Impact
1 Data Modeling CRITICAL
2 Partition Key Design CRITICAL
3 Query Optimization HIGH
4 SDK Best Practices HIGH
5 Design Patterns HIGH
6 Vector Search HIGH
7 Full-Text Search HIGH
8 Security HIGH
9 Indexing Strategies MEDIUM-HIGH
10 Throughput & Scaling MEDIUM
11 Global Distribution MEDIUM
12 Developer Tooling MEDIUM
13 Monitoring & Diagnostics LOW-MEDIUM

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.
