tachyon: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

tachyon GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from kpavlov/tachyon. It costs 176 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for using CodeGraph, a code-indexing tool, in repositories that contain a .codegraph directory. CodeGraph can show source code and the paths connecting related functions or symbols.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before searching files when exploring symbols or call paths in a CodeGraph-indexed repository; skip them when no .codegraph directory exists.
Why use it?
They help agents locate and understand code faster in indexed repositories, including relationships that ordinary text searches may miss.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is kpavlov/tachyon's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on tachyon 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 tachyon 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

tachyon 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

CodeGraph

In repositories indexed by CodeGraph (a .codegraph/ directory exists at the repo root), reach for it BEFORE grep/find or reading files when you need to understand or locate code:

  • MCP tool (when available): codegraph_explore answers most code questions in one call — the relevant symbols' verbatim source plus the call paths between them, including dynamic-dispatch hops grep can't follow. Name a file or symbol in the query to read its current line-numbered source. If it's listed but deferred, load it by name via tool search.
  • Shell (always works): codegraph explore "<symbol names or question>" prints the same output.

If there is no .codegraph/ directory, skip CodeGraph entirely — indexing is the user's decision.

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.
