babycoding: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

babycoding GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from bullboy1/babycoding. It costs 2,533 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of babycoding copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

A set of instructions for the babycoding code repository that requires checking a shared function registry before writing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work, looking up existing functions, deciding whether to reuse or create one, and following the repository's function-creation rules.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate functions and keeps the code organised by making developers reuse or extend registered functions when possible.

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

babycoding 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

100% identical to babycoding copilot-instructions.md — 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GEMINI.md — Function Registry Protocol (FRP) v1.4

Mandatory for every task in this repo. Goals: zero duplicate code, minimal token spend, clean layered architecture.

0. Session start

  1. Read FUNCTIONS.md. If Stage 3 (sharded): read root index + only the shards of modules this task touches.
  2. No FUNCTIONS.md → run §6 Bootstrap before anything else.
  3. Function count crossed a §7 threshold → perform that stage upgrade within this task.
  4. Canvas on → read docs/registry/inbox.md if present; pending entries are user requests sent from the canvas: do them first, mark each [done YYYY-MM-DD] when finished.

1. Lookup — before writing ANY function

  1. Search FUNCTIONS.md (name + desc columns) by capability keywords.
  2. HIT → grep the code to confirm existence and signature → REUSE. Reimplementing a registered capability is a protocol violation.
  3. NEAR-HIT (covers ≥80% of the need) → EXTEND the existing function (add a param/option). Do not create a sibling.
  4. MISS → create, following §2–§4.
  5. Mandatory trace — print one line per decision in your reply, before writing code:
    • REGISTRY: HIT parseDate (L1) src/utils/time.py
    • REGISTRY: EXTEND fetchOrder (L3) src/orders/api.py — add includeDrafts flag
    • REGISTRY: MISS -> new renderBadge (L2) src/ui/badge.tsx

2. Creation rules

  • Names: verb+noun, repo's dominant casing (parseInvoice / parse_invoice). Searchable; no abbreviations except: id, url, db, cfg, ctx.
  • One function, one responsibility. Function ≤ 50 lines. File ≤ 300 lines. Nesting ≤ 3 levels.
  • Rule of Three: a 2nd duplication is tolerated; the 3rd MUST be extracted into a shared L1/L2 component and registered.
  • Folders: depth ≤ 4 from repo root, lowercase, named by domain/feature — never by person, date, or version.
  • Imports flow downward only: L4 → L3 → L2 → L1. L1 imports no project code. An upward import is a bug.
  • Shared constants/types obey the same lookup-before-create rule (grep first).
  • Comments explain WHY, never WHAT. One-line docstring required on L1/L2; on L3/L4 only when non-obvious.
  • Minimal diff: touch nothing outside task scope. No drive-by refactors.

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.
