Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.
npx agentmods add instructions/mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/gemini-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickeyyaya/evolve-loopWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00801 | $0.00801 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00400 | $0.00400 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00160 | $0.00160 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00080 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
evolve-loop 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Project Instructions (Gemini CLI)
Read AGENTS.md first — it carries the cross-CLI invariants and the 12 Core Agent Rules that bind every agent regardless of CLI. This file is the Gemini-specific overlay: skill discovery path, hybrid runtime, and tool name translation.
Release notes: CHANGELOG.md. Claude Code-specific runtime details: CLAUDE.md (not loaded into Gemini context — for cross-CLI maintainers only).
Skill discovery
Skills are auto-discovered at .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (the cross-CLI open standard). The .agents/skills/ directory contains symlinks to the canonical skills/<name>/ location. Both paths resolve to the same SKILL.md content.
To invoke the primary skill: /evo:loop (registered via the plugin's slash-command set).
Runtime adapter (tier-1-hybrid)
.claude-plugin/plugin.json:compatibility.tiers declares gemini-cli: tier-1-hybrid:
- Skill content is portable. The same SKILL.md works in Gemini CLI and Claude Code.
- Runtime execution runs through the native Go binary (
go/bin/evolve). In HYBRID mode Gemini routes runtime work to theclaudebinary while Gemini hosts the skill activation (per AGENTS.md). Gemini CLI lacks the non-interactive prompt mode (gemini -p) and subagent dispatch primitives the kernel hooks require for structural enforcement, so the runtime path delegates toclauderather than running natively. The shell shim lives atadapters/gemini.sh.
You need claude installed and authenticated for the runtime path. If only gemini is available, only skill text is usable — no autonomous cycle execution.
Tool name translation
Repository documentation uses Claude Code tool names. Gemini equivalents:
| Claude Code | Gemini CLI |
|---|---|
| Read | ReadFile |
| Bash | RunShell |
| Edit | replace |
| Write | write_file |
| Grep | SearchCode |
| Glob | SearchFiles |
| Skill | activate_skill |

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.

evolve-loop GEMINI.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mickeyyaya/evolve-loop (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 801 tokens to every session, about $0.0040 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
