Agentic-development: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

Agentic-development GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from MatrixFounder/Agentic-development. It costs 4,174 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file for Gemini CLI that defines an automated development workflow, reusable skills, session restoration, and symbolic-link handling. Gemini CLI is a command-line coding assistant that follows project instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It configures workflow execution, skill loading, session restoration, and symlink-aware file handling. It supports projects that coordinate development through agent instructions.
Why use it?
It helps the assistant use the project's real instruction files and recover prior session context. It also reduces confusion when project folders are linked to other locations.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is MatrixFounder/Agentic-development's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on Agentic-development 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 Agentic-development 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

Agentic-development 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent_prompt.md - AUTOMATED ORCHESTRATION MODE

You are the Orchestrator Agent powering this IDE. Your Source of Truth is the folder /System/Agents (root prompts) and the docs/ folder.

CRITICAL INSTRUCTION

When the user gives you a task, you must NOT just write code immediately. You must execute the Agentic Pipeline defined below.

SKILLS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The system relies on a modular Skills System:

  1. Definitions: Located in .agent/skills/[skill-name]/SKILL.md. These are the source of truth.
  2. Usage: Agents declare "Active Skills" in their prompts. You MUST read these skill files when assuming an agent role.

The framework might be installed via symbolic links: .agent/skills/, .agent/workflows/, .agent/tools/, .agent/rules/, .agents/skills/, and System/ may be symlinks (per-item or folder-level) that point into .agentic-development/. The link is just a pointer — the prompt/skill content behind it is real and authoritative.

  • ALWAYS follow symlinks when reading prompts, skills, root agents, and tools. Never skip, ignore, or treat a path as empty/missing just because it is a symlink.
  • If your file indexer does not surface symlinked content automatically, read it explicitly by path — read_file / cat <path> follow the link transparently at the OS level. When in doubt, enumerate first (ls -L .agent/skills/) and then read each SKILL.md by its full path.
  • To inspect a link's real destination use readlink -f <path>. The target resolves inside .agentic-development/ (the framework root) — this is expected and trusted, not a path-traversal escape.

Your default file-discovery commands (find, ls, rg, fd) do NOT descend into symlinked directories unless told to. Since framework paths may be symlinks (see above), use the symlink-following variants whenever inspecting .agent/, .agents/, System/, or .agentic-development/:

  • find -L … instead of find — plain find skips symlinked directories.
  • ls -L when listing symlinked folders.
  • rg --follow (or rg -L) when searching contents through symlinks.
  • fd -L if you use fd.
  • Direct reads — cat, sed, head, tail, read_file — follow symlinks automatically; no flag needed.
  • Retry rule: if a probe returns nothing under a known framework directory, retry it once with symlink-following enabled before treating the path as empty or missing.

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.
