vibetags: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

vibetags GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from PIsberg/vibetags. It costs 1,411 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for VibeTags, a Java tool that generates AI rules from source-code annotations. They explain that GEMINI.md and related files are generated automatically and identify files that must not be edited.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing AI guardrails, running self-annotation builds, or working on VibeTags’ file-generation and transitive-discovery code.
Why use it?
They prevent changes from being lost during regeneration and help preserve build steps that are required for multi-module discovery. This avoids silently broken generated guidance.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions Gemini CLI.

This is PIsberg/vibetags's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on vibetags 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 vibetags 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

vibetags 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 14d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GEMINI.md

AI guardrails for Google Gemini, generated from source annotations by VibeTags itself (dogfooding, mvn compile -Pself-annotate from vibetags/). The region between the VIBETAGS-START and VIBETAGS-END markers is regenerated on every self-annotate compile; never hand-edit inside it. Per-element detail lives in .gemini/rules/, indexed from the block below.

LOCKED FILES (DO NOT MODIFY)

Do not suggest modifications to the following files:

  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.AIGuardrailProcessor.generateFiles(): Step order is load-bearing: fingerprint check → sidecar write → sidecar read → merge → file write → cache flush; reordering steps silently skips regeneration or corrupts multi-module output
  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.internal.TransitiveManifest.RESOURCE_PACKAGE: Must stay a valid Java package name. javac's CLASS_PATH location skips archive directories that are not package identifiers, so moving these manifests under META-INF/ leaves Filer.getResource listing zero entries and transitive discovery fails silently while the conventional location looks correct. TransitiveManifestPathTest pins the working path.
  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.model.GuardrailAnnotations.ALL: Append only. This order fixes the insertion order of every LinkedHashSet downstream, so reordering or removing an entry rewrites generated files in every consuming build, with nothing failing to name the cause. BuildFingerprint hashes in its own separately pinned order; the two are not the same list and must not be aligned.

CORE FUNCTIONALITY (EXTREME CAUTION)

The following elements are well-tested core components. Make changes with extreme caution:

  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.AIGuardrailProcessor: Sensitivity: critical. Note: Runs inside every consumer's javac: process() turns a RuntimeException into a WARNING (an ERROR in check mode), and anything escaping that catch fails their build
  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.internal.GuardrailFileWriter: Sensitivity: high. Note: Invariant 2 lives here: hand-authored content outside VIBETAGS-START/END must never be overwritten or lost
  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.internal.ModuleSidecar: Sensitivity: high. Note: The .vibetags-mod-* format is read by modules compiled separately, possibly by another processor version; changing it breaks them
  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.internal.PartialRoundDetector: Sensitivity: high. Note: Both conditions in unreadAnnotatedSources are load-bearing and neither may be dropped as redundant: without the missing-element check an excluded-but-annotated source stops VibeTags writing for good, and without the unread-source check a genuinely deleted annotation can never have its rule file retired
  • se.deversity.vibetags.processor.internal.WriteCache: Sensitivity: high. Note: A false positive, stale output taken as unchanged, silently leaves generated files wrong

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.
