minds-mcp: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

minds-mcp GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from minds-ai-co/minds-mcp. It costs 160 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using Minds MCP tools, which run evidence-based synthetic market research with simulated audience panels. They cover building audiences, running studies, comparing groups, examining disagreement, and exporting results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to research audiences and markets, run single questions or multi-question studies, compare segments, inspect differing opinions, and export results.
Why use it?
They provide a consistent way to define research questions, manage longer study runs, and interpret simulated findings with appropriate caution.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

This is minds-ai-co/minds-mcp's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on minds-mcp 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 minds-mcp 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

minds-mcp 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

Minds MCP

Use the Minds MCP tools for evidence-grounded synthetic market research: build audiences, run Studies, compare segments, inspect disagreement, and export results.

  • Clarify the decision, audience, market, and research question before creating a study when any of them are ambiguous.
  • Prefer a structured study for multi-question research and a direct Study question for a single, straightforward prompt.
  • Confirm the study plan before starting a durable run.
  • Check the run status instead of assuming a long-running study finished.
  • Treat synthetic results as an evidence-grounded first pass, not a replacement for representative human fieldwork.
  • Never expose or repeat access tokens.

The maintained setup and behavior documentation is at https://getminds.ai/mcp/setup.

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.
