agentic-design-patterns-extension: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

agentic-design-patterns-extension GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-extension. It costs 1,106 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions and commands for 28 common ways to design AI-agent workflows, such as planning, tool use, routing, and cooperation between agents. It also provides quick references and Python code skeletons for these patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up patterns, filter them by category, summarize them, or generate a Python starting structure for a chosen pattern.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared vocabulary and starting point when designing an agent workflow, without requiring them to know the pattern library first.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-extension's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on agentic-design-patterns-extension 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 agentic-design-patterns-extension configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to hajekim/agentic-design-patterns-extension. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

agentic-design-patterns-extension 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 6d 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.

Agentic Design Patterns — Extension Context

This Extension provides 28 agentic design pattern skills based on Agentic Design Patterns by Antonio Gulli.

How This Extension Works

  • Skills activate automatically when you describe a relevant task. You do not need to invoke them explicitly.
  • /pattern-summary [filter] lists all 28 patterns or filters by category/name. Example: /pattern-summary reliability
  • /gen-skeleton <pattern> generates a Python code skeleton for any pattern. Example: /gen-skeleton planning
  • This context file is loaded at the start of every session.

28 Patterns — Quick Reference

Core Patterns

Pattern When to Use
prompt-chaining Sequential steps where each output feeds the next
routing Dynamic selection of handler based on input type
parallelization Independent tasks that can run concurrently
reflection Self-evaluation and iterative improvement
tool-use Calling external APIs, databases, or functions
planning Breaking complex goals into ordered subtasks
multi-agent-collaboration Coordinating multiple specialized agents

State Management

Pattern When to Use
memory-management Persisting context across sessions
learning-adaptation Adjusting behavior based on feedback
mcp-setup Connecting to external tools via Model Context Protocol
goal-setting Defining and tracking long-term agent objectives

Reliability

Pattern When to Use
exception-handling Graceful degradation and recovery from errors
human-in-the-loop Human review at critical decision points
rag Grounding responses in retrieved, up-to-date knowledge

Advanced Patterns

Pattern When to Use
a2a Agent-to-agent communication protocols
resource-aware Optimizing for cost, latency, and token budget
reasoning Structured chain-of-thought and problem decomposition
guardrails Enforcing safety, policy, and output constraints
evaluation Measuring and benchmarking agent performance
prioritization Ranking and scheduling tasks by urgency and impact
exploration Systematic discovery in unknown or large environments

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.
