prism-coder: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

prism-coder GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from dcostenco/prism-coder. It costs 101 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository guide for Prism Coder, with extra engineering rules for tool handlers, database storage, and scheduled background work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing tool handlers, either storage backend, or the twelve-hour background sweep.
Why use it?
It highlights checks needed to keep the SQLite and Supabase storage implementations aligned and to avoid slowing the recurring scheduler.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is dcostenco/prism-coder's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on prism-coder 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 prism-coder 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

prism-coder 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.

What it actually says

Engineering Standards

See the Synalux engineering standards doc for the full protocol. This file inherits those standards. Additional Prism-specific rules:

  1. MCP Tool Testing: When modifying tool handlers in src/tools/, run npm test before committing.
  2. Storage Backend Parity: Changes to sqlite.ts must be mirrored in supabase.ts (and vice versa).
  3. Scheduler Safety: backgroundScheduler.ts runs every 12h — never add blocking I/O to the sweep loop.
Changes

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.
