GEMINI.md

bigpowers GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from danielvm-git/bigpowers. It costs 903 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of written instructions for using and maintaining the bigpowers collection of software-development skills across coding-agent tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install the project, synchronise skills for different agent tools, and organise specifications and documentation.
Why use it?
It gives contributors shared project commands, conventions, and file locations so generated skill files stay consistent.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Gemini CLI.

This is danielvm-git/bigpowers's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on bigpowers 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 bigpowers 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

bigpowers 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 3d 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.

bigpowers — Gemini CLI

Auto-generated by sync-skills.sh from CLAUDE.md. Edit CLAUDE.md, not this file.

Read CONVENTIONS.md before any GitHub or git operation.

Project

bigpowers — 58 agent skills for spec-driven, test-first software development by solo developers. Stack: Markdown / Bash (documentation-based; skills integrate with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI)

Commands

Action Command
Install npm install -g bigpowers && bigpowers setup
Run bash scripts/sync-skills.sh
Test N/A (documentation project)
Build bash scripts/install.sh (from source)
Lint bash scripts/sync-skills.sh (validates SKILL.md syntax)

Architecture

Collection of 58 verb-noun skills, each with a SKILL.md source file and supporting documentation. Includes Verify phase and profiles/. The sync-skills.sh script auto-generates artifacts for Cursor (.cursor/rules) and Gemini CLI (.gemini/extensions/bigpowers/) from SKILL.md sources. All planning and spec output goes to specs/ at the project root.

Conventions

  • Skill directories use verb-noun naming (two words, kebab-case)
  • Every skill has a single SKILL.md file as its source of truth
  • All planning/spec output goes to specs/ at project root
  • Artifacts in .cursor/rules and .gemini/ are auto-generated; edit SKILL.md, not artifacts
  • Run sync-skills.sh after any SKILL.md changes to regenerate artifacts

Never

  • Never edit .cursor/rules or .gemini/extensions/ directly — these are generated files
  • Never create a skill without a SKILL.md file and proper verb-noun naming
  • Never push changes without running sync-skills.sh first

Token Management

  • Auto-Terse: When a session exceeds 20 turns or the context window feels "heavy" (latency increasing), you MUST switch to terse-mode to save tokens.
  • Context Compaction: Every 10 turns, summarize the current session state and implementation decisions into a short, high-density note.
  • Minimal Output: Prefer text-only output for simple status; use web_fetch or run_shell_command only for evidence.

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.
