rag_for_git: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

rag_for_git — Gemini CLI context

See CLAUDE.md for full project documentation (architecture, commands, invariants).

MCP server setup

Quickest way

uvx --from rag-reviewer reviewer install gemini

This registers the MCP server in ~/.gemini/settings.json automatically (cross-platform, uses the absolute path to uvx — no bash -lc wrapper needed).

Global config (manual alternative)

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json under "mcpServers":

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reviewer": {
      "command": "/bin/bash",
      "args": ["-lc", "uvx --from rag-reviewer@latest reviewer-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The bash -lc wrapper loads your shell profile so uvx (in ~/.local/bin) is found by GUI tools that don't inherit the full shell PATH (macOS/Linux only; on Windows use reviewer install gemini or set command to uvx directly).

Project-level config

.gemini/settings.json in this repo already contains the MCP entry — Gemini CLI picks it up automatically when you open this project.

Skills

Gemini CLI discovers skills from .gemini/skills/ (project) or ~/.gemini/skills/ (global). Install globally — no repo clone needed:

curl -sL https://github.com/mimfort/rag_for_git/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz -o /tmp/rag-reviewer.tgz
mkdir -p ~/.gemini/skills
tar xz -C ~/.gemini/skills --strip-components=3 -f /tmp/rag-reviewer.tgz 'rag_for_git-main/plugin/skills'
rm /tmp/rag-reviewer.tgz

Skills installed: review-pr, solve-task, sync-codebase, sync-tasks, performance-review, maintainability-review.

Then use them: use skill rag-reviewer:review-pr

Verify

After restarting Gemini CLI, run:

"List available MCP tools"

You should see mcp_reviewer_prepare_review, mcp_reviewer_publish_review, etc.
