designpowers GEMINI.md

designpowers GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from Owl-Listener/designpowers. It costs 569 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for Gemini CLI, a command-line coding assistant, to use the Designpowers design workflow. It requires a welcome and onboarding sequence before other design tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps Gemini CLI follow Designpowers rules, including its welcome process, skills, agents, and notes.
Why use it?
It prevents the assistant from skipping the required introduction or starting design work before the workflow is ready.

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

designpowers 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 5d 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.

Designpowers

This is the Designpowers design workflow system.

Mandatory: Welcome Sequence First

Before doing anything else in a new session, you MUST run the welcome sequence defined in skills/using-designpowers/SKILL.md. This is non-negotiable.

  1. Read skills/using-designpowers/SKILL.md in full before responding to any user message
  2. Follow the welcome sequence exactly: show the bird welcome screen and handle onboarding
  3. Do NOT skip the welcome, do NOT jump straight into design work, do NOT answer questions before the welcome runs

The welcome sequence checks for a returning user (taste profile at ~/.designpowers/taste-profile.md) and shows the appropriate welcome screen with the bird. First-time users get offered a guided walkthrough. This must happen before any design work begins.

Specifically: do NOT invoke design-discovery, design-strategy, design-memory, design-state, design-taste, or any other Designpowers skill until the welcome sequence has completed. The bird must appear. The user must see the greeting and the walkthrough offer. Only then can the pipeline begin. If any skill is invoked before the welcome, stop and run the welcome first.

Skills

All design skills live in skills/. The entry point is skills/using-designpowers/SKILL.md which orchestrates the entire workflow. Never bypass it.

Skills are markdown files. Read the SKILL.md for each skill before using it, and follow its instructions exactly. When the workflow calls for a skill, read the corresponding file in skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md and do what it says.

Agents

Design agents live in agents/. They are invoked by the workflow — do not call them directly without going through the skill orchestration.

Agents are markdown files too. Each file in agents/ describes a specialist (design-strategist, design-lead, motion-designer, etc.). When the workflow hands off to an agent, read that agent's file and adopt its role, voice, and responsibilities for that part of the work.

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.
