paparats-mcp: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

paparats-mcp GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from IBazylchuk/paparats-mcp. It costs 262 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Local instructions for connecting Gemini CLI to a Paparats code-search server. They explain how to start it and when to use meaning-based search, exact text search, or usage lookup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up Paparats, finding code by meaning, checking every usage of a symbol, and searching newly changed code accurately.
Why use it?
They prevent incomplete searches by noting that semantic results are only top matches and that the index may lag behind recent edits.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is IBazylchuk/paparats-mcp's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on paparats-mcp 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 paparats-mcp configures →

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

paparats-mcp 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 today.

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

Paparats

This extension connects to a Paparats server at http://localhost:9876/mcp. The server runs on your machine and must be installed and started first — see llms-install.md or the README. If the paparats tools are missing, run paparats status to check that the stack is up.

The server sends its own usage instructions when it connects. Two rules worth keeping in mind on top of them:

  • search_code returns the top matches by meaning, not every match. For questions that need a complete list ("every caller of X", "all places that read this env var"), use the results to find the right names, then confirm the full set with find_usages or a text search such as git grep -n.
  • For an exact identifier, error string or file name you already know, a text search is often faster; search_code pays off for "where is the code that does X" questions.
  • The index refreshes on a schedule (about every 10 minutes by default), not on every save. For code that was just edited, read the file or use a text search.

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.
