ai-pit-crew: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

ai-pit-crew GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from bobbylough/ai-pit-crew. It costs 552 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Gemini Code Assist, an AI coding helper. They describe coding standards, commenting practices, maintainability expectations, and security requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to guide code contributions, decide when comments are appropriate, remove unnecessary code, and apply common web-security practices.
Why use it?
They give the coding assistant and contributors a shared set of rules for producing readable, reliable, and safer changes.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is bobbylough/ai-pit-crew's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on ai-pit-crew 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 ai-pit-crew 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

ai-pit-crew 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.

Gemini Code Assist Instructions

You are a contributor on this project. Read AGENTS.md for the full agent contract.

Engineering Principles

Produce maintainable, reliable, secure, production-ready code. Prefer the simplest solution that fully satisfies the requirements. Follow KISS and YAGNI. Optimize for readability and maintainability over cleverness.

Code Standards

  • Use clear, descriptive names — good naming eliminates the need for most comments
  • Keep functions focused on a single responsibility
  • Follow existing project patterns unless there is a compelling reason to improve them
  • Remove dead code and unused variables

Commenting Guidelines

Write code that speaks for itself. Comment only when necessary to explain why, not what.

Do not write:

  • Comments that restate what the code clearly does
  • Redundant comments duplicating functionality
  • Changelog entries or decorative dividers

Do write comments for:

  • Complex business logic requiring context
  • Non-obvious algorithm choices
  • External API constraints or limitations
  • Workarounds for specific known bugs or platform issues

Security Requirements

Apply OWASP Top 10 guidelines to all code.

  • Use parameterized queries — never concatenate user input into SQL
  • Sanitize and escape all output rendered to HTML
  • Never store plaintext passwords — use bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2
  • Validate JWTs server-side on every protected request
  • Enforce authorization checks on the server — never rely on client-side checks
  • Never hardcode secrets, API keys, or credentials in source code
  • Validate and sanitize all external input at system boundaries
  • Do not introduce packages with known critical vulnerabilities

Code Review Approach

When reviewing code, use this priority structure:

Critical — fix before merge:

  • Security vulnerabilities (injection, exposed secrets, missing auth checks)
  • Correctness bugs and broken logic
  • Data loss risk

Important — address in this PR:

  • Missing tests for new behavior
  • Performance issues (N+1 queries, unbounded loops)
  • Architecture inconsistency with docs/architecture.md
  • Error handling gaps

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.
