What is grounded-knowledge-engine GEMINI.md?

Instructions for using Gemini CLI in a repository where the shared agent guidance lives in AGENTS.md. Gemini CLI is a command-line coding assistant, and an MCP server adapter provides its external tools.

Setting up the repository's Gemini CLI MCP configuration with npm run setup:mcp when .gemini/settings.json is missing.

It prevents tool lookup failures by explaining that the generated local settings file must exist before the knowledge-base tools can work.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00110	$0.00110
Opus 5.5	$0.00044	$0.00044

Security

Grade A, and why

grounded-knowledge-engine 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

GEMINI.md

This file provides guidance to Gemini CLI when working with code in this repository. The canonical agent guidance is shared across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI in a single file to prevent drift:

@AGENTS.md

Gemini CLI specifics:

This repo's kb MCP server adapter is generated into .gemini/settings.json by npm run setup:mcp (machine-local, gitignored). If the file is missing, run that command before expecting kb.* tools to resolve.

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.
