onebrain GEMINI.md

onebrain GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from onebrain-ai/onebrain. It costs 468 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for OneBrain, a personal AI system built around a folder of Markdown notes, used with the Gemini command-line tool. They explain how Gemini loads project settings and translates tool names from Claude Code instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when configuring OneBrain, loading shared agent instructions, or mapping commands such as reading files and running shell commands to Gemini equivalents. They also describe project-level Gemini settings and hooks.
Why use it?
They give Gemini the project context and behavior rules it needs to work consistently with the OneBrain vault and its lifecycle hooks.

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

onebrain 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.

OneBrain — Gemini CLI

OneBrain is a personal AI OS built on a plain-Markdown vault — use its built-in web UI. INSTRUCTIONS.md is written using Claude Code tool names — the mapping below translates them to Gemini CLI equivalents before the shared instructions load.

Load Order

  1. Tool mapping — translates Claude Code tool names (Read, Write, Bash, etc.) to Gemini CLI equivalents (read_file, write_file, run_shell_command, etc.)
  2. Shared agent instructions — vault structure, skills, session behavior, and personality

Project-Level Gemini Config

Hooks and slash commands are defined at the project root in .gemini/:

  • .gemini/settings.json — declarative lifecycle hooks (SessionStart, AfterTool for write_file|replace, and AfterAgent) all call the onebrain hook bridge wrapped in a shell-level || echo fail-open fallback (inert once the installed CLI is 3.4.25+; degrades to a harmless stand-in payload when the CLI is missing or older), which otherwise selects behavior from stdin and emits Gemini-compatible {} for no-op/tool events. model.disableLoopDetection: true keeps legitimate multi-file skill activations from tripping Gemini's repetitive-tool-call heuristic. Version of this content is tracked in the unified plugin.json alongside the Claude plugin.
  • .gemini/commands/onebrain/*.toml — 24 user-facing slash commands under the onebrain: namespace (/onebrain:braindump, /onebrain:capture, /onebrain:research, ...) that activate the matching skill. Namespacing avoids collisions with Gemini built-ins (/help, /tasks) and mirrors the Claude plugin path (.claude/plugins/onebrain/)

Skills, agents, INSTRUCTIONS, and tool-mapping references all live inside the Claude plugin tree at .claude/plugins/onebrain/.... The agent reads them on demand via the paths referenced from each TOML's prompt — no duplication needed.

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.
