GEMINI.md

HoloCore GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from HassanMahomed/HoloCore. It costs 226 tokens per session, scanned C, a copy of HoloCore AGENTS.md, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for HoloCore, a system that maps code, stores verified project knowledge, and records relevant past work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when orienting yourself in a HoloCore project, finding related files and notes, or deciding what project knowledge may be saved.
Why use it?
They provide a fixed order for checking project structure, notes, and history, while reducing duplicate or unreliable stored information.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

This is HassanMahomed/HoloCore's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on HoloCore 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 HoloCore 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 C, and why

HoloCore GEMINI.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

What it actually says

HoloCore knowledge workflow

Run holocore status before broad orientation. For project work, use a fresh Atlas first to identify relevant files and relationships, search corresponding Archive notes second, query Animus third only when prior work or chats matter, and open exact source files last. Build one route plan and execute it once; never route a HoloCore search back into itself. Each subsystem may run at most once per request. Writes must be explicit and scoped. Promote only verified durable knowledge into Archive, update existing notes before creating duplicates, and record uncertain claims as questions rather than facts.

Archive = verified knowledge. Atlas = structural map. Animus = remembered history. World = project. Sector = area inside a project. Memory Shard = raw remembered fragment. Archive Entry = polished durable note. Signal = one mapped thing. Constellation = group of related mapped things.

HoloCore project context

Read HOLOCORE.md before project-context work. Use HoloCore's check-first route and never loop a result back into HoloCore.

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.
