Instructions file for Claude CodeGemini CLI

Written for Claude Code and Gemini CLI: PreToolUse hook event, but also the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md; built for openclaw.

This is IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Gemini CLI how to work on ThumbGate 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 ThumbGate 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

ThumbGate 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 22d 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.

Session PR Management and System Hygiene

  • Start with bin/agent-loop --health --json (fail closed), then read all three repo directives, query local ThumbGate memory, and inspect open PRs, open GitHub Issues, remote branches, worktrees, and current main CI.
  • Reconcile GitHub Issues and Actions plus available Linear AI, Obsidian vault, and standalone GitHub Copilot CLI surfaces. Close or advance actionable Issues in the same session — do not leave the Issues board untouched while only draining PRs. Record unavailable local integrations and continue with deterministic gh, git, and repository checks, which remain authoritative.
  • Merge only review-complete PRs with terminal-green required checks, using npm run pr:manage and Trunk. Never approve, dismiss, bypass, or weaken a human-review or branch-protection requirement.
  • Classify orphan branches before cleanup and preserve unique commits before deleting a branch or worktree.
  • Verify required CI on the exact resulting main SHA and run the standard clean-worktree suite before any completion claim.
  • Record session lessons in local ThumbGate memory and report whether the memory and ML feedback pipeline helped or hindered the work.
  • Use the mandatory completion sentence from AGENTS.md only when every PR, cleanup, CI, dry-run, and lesson-recording item is verified; otherwise report blockers without claiming session completion.

NEVER Bypass Branch Protection (ABSOLUTE)

NEVER approve a pull request. NEVER satisfy, dismiss, or disable a branch-protection requirement on the owner's behalf. NEVER use --admin, --force, or an owner credential to make a merge possible that would otherwise be blocked.

Everything merges through PRs under the configured branch protection. When human review is required, only a human may satisfy it. Report the blocker with evidence. Non-mutating diagnosis and a separate policy-change PR are allowed, but stop before any action that mutates review or protection state. Never route around the control.

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.
