GEMINI.md

ga GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from GuitarAlchemist/ga. It costs 520 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for Gemini CLI in Guitar Alchemist, combining project context with a plan–work–review–compound development workflow.

In plain words

Brainstorming features, creating implementation plans, executing planned work, reviewing changes, and documenting solutions.
Why use it?
They give agents a repeatable process for turning an idea into a plan, implementing it, reviewing it, and recording lessons learned.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is GuitarAlchemist/ga's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on ga 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 ga 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

ga 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 4d 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.

Guitar Alchemist — Agent Configuration

This repository uses a hybrid workflow:

  • Conductor (context layer) — product definition, tech stack, track registry, institutional memory
  • Compound Engineering (execution layer) — plan → work → review → compound cycle

Conductor Context Layer

Project context, architecture decisions, and track tracking.

→ Conductor Index

Quick Links


Compound Engineering Execution Layer

Day-to-day execution workflow. Use these commands to drive work on any track.

→ Compound Engineering Config

Workflow

/ce:plan → /ce:work → /ce:review → /ce:compound → repeat

Commands

Command What it does
/ce:brainstorm <idea> Structured ideation before planning
/ce:plan <feature> Creates docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>-<name>-plan.md
/ce:work <plan-file> Executes the plan with todo tracking + incremental commits
/ce:review Runs security, performance, architecture reviewer agents
/ce:compound Captures learnings into docs/solutions/

Working Artifacts

  • Brainstorms: docs/brainstorms/ — raw exploration docs
  • Plans: docs/plans/ — structured work plans (output of /ce:plan)
  • Solutions: docs/solutions/ — captured learnings (output of /ce:compound)

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.
