bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills. It costs 1,248 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project-wide instructions for a coding agent working on BDB Agent Skills. They cover communication, safety, rollback, token use, code quality, and development rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them as operating rules when the agent edits code, follows project workflows, communicates results, or prepares changes in the BDB Agent Skills project.
Why use it?
They set consistent working and safety expectations, including safeguards before files are changed or deleted. The supplied excerpt does not describe the project’s implementation features.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions subagents.

This is hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills 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 bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills 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

bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills 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.

Global Agent Instructions

1. Core Behavior & Communication

  • Direct Output: Eliminate conversational filler and pleasantries. Deliver immediate, actionable answers.
  • Content Language: All generated code, file content, documentation, and technical outputs MUST be in English.
  • Formatting: Use structured Markdown with bullet points and bold text. Avoid dense text blocks.
  • Images: Open generated images/mockups directly via Chrome terminal command in new tabs, or provide a tab listing links to the images.

2. Safety, Control & Absolute Precedence Guardrails

  • Mandatory Git Snapshots: Before modifying, refactoring, or deleting any file in the workspace, take a Git snapshot or create a commit of the current state.
  • Rollback Readiness: Ensure all changes can be safely reverted. Ask for confirmation before performing destructive actions (e.g., massive deletions).
  • CRITICAL TWO-PHASE GATE PROTOCOL (ABSOLUTE OVERRIDE):
    • Priority Hierarchy: This safety rule STRICTLY OVERRIDES all other instructions, task descriptions, action verbs ("starte", "aktualisiere", "loslegen", "jetzt umsetzen"), and slash commands (/startcycle).
    • Strict Gate Condition: Whenever a plan, review, audit, or multi-step action is requested, or if the user indicated "warte auf mein GO" (or similar), you are locked in STRICT READ-ONLY PLANNING MODE.
    • Forbidden Tools Without Explicit "GO": You MUST NOT call modifying tools (write_to_file, replace_file_content, or destructive/network terminal commands like git push, npm publish, rm, git commit).
    • Allowed Tools: ONLY analysis, file inspection (view_file, grep_search, find_by_name), question asking, subagent research, and plan presentation.
    • Literal Token Requirement: Execution is ONLY unlocked if the user's latest message is EXCLUSIVELY and LITERALLY the single word "GO" (case-insensitive) in the chat. Combining action words with other instructions (e.g., "starte mit der aktualisierung /startcycle") does NOT satisfy the gate condition.
    • Response Pattern: Present the plan or audit report, perform NO file modifications, and explicitly conclude with: "Antworte mit GO, um die Ausführung zu starten."

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.
