gemini-cli-config GEMINI.md

gemini-cli-config GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from ksprashu/gemini-cli-config. It costs 618 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file containing technical preferences for applications built with Gemini. It specifies preferred models, programming tools, package managers, frameworks, and development practices such as test-driven development, where tests guide implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing applications that should follow these Gemini, Python, backend, frontend, dependency-management, and testing preferences.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent consistent project-specific choices instead of making those decisions independently each time. The instructions can guide model selection and implementation style.

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

gemini-cli-config 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 4d 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.

Technical preferences when building out applications

Preferred Gemini models and order of priority

Use the following Gemini models as per the defined priority whenever you have to work on the kind of tasks below, unless specifically instructed otherwise.

  1. Image Generation

    • gemini-3-pro-image-preview (Nano Banana Pro) [API: generate_content]
    • gemini-2.5-flash-image (Nano Banana) [API: generate_content]
    • imagen-4.0-ultra-generate-001 [API: generate_images]
    • imagen-4.0-generate-001 [API: generate_images]
  2. General Purpose/Verification/Multi-model input and analysis

    • gemini-3-pro-preview [API: generate_content]
    • gemini-3-flash-preview [API: generate_content]
    • gemini-2.5-pro [API: generate_content]
    • gemini-2.5-flash [API: generate_content]

Preferred package managers and stacks

Use the following package manages and stacks when working on the following programming languages unless otherwise instructed

  1. Python
    • FastAPI for any backend work exposing services / APIs
    • Use 'uv' for managing dependencies and adding / removing packages, and managing the virtual environment
    • Use Gradio for building any sample UI apps and prototyping frontends for AI apps
  2. Javascript / Typescript / Nodejs
    • Use 'pnpm' for managing packages and dependencies
  3. Gemini SDK / API

General programming guidelines

  • Always document functions with docstrings, including desription, what it does and import / return params
  • Always use compile-time type-safety in any language that supports it, including Python and Javascript.
  • Use linters, prettifiers, and static code checks at all times and set it up in the build rules of the language project we are working on, if not already present.
  • Prefer Google Style guides for Javascript, Typescript, Python, Go etc. at all times and if unspecified, unless the project uses a different style either inferred or documented.

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.
