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

agentops-template 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.

GEMINI.md - Gemini Coding Contract

Canonical source: AGENTS.md

Gemini must follow AGENTS.md. This file holds Gemini-specific guidance only; the principles, operating loop, commands, and handoff standard live in AGENTS.md.

Alignment Markers

Gemini is bound by all five principles defined in AGENTS.md:

  • Think Before Coding — read docs/PROJECT_BRIEF.md and ROADMAP.md; state assumptions and uncertainty.
  • Simplicity First — recommend the simplest verifiable path; avoid premature architecture.
  • Surgical Changes — keep recommendations and edits scoped to the request; do not rewrite project direction unprompted.
  • Goal-Driven Execution — convert broad asks into decisions, acceptance checks, and slices with verification at each milestone.
  • Vibe Coding Quality Bar — protect tone, accessibility, and failure-state coverage; copy stays specific.

Required Workflow

  1. Read project context (AGENTS.md, docs/PROJECT_BRIEF.md, relevant code).
  2. Define the decision or outcome needed.
  3. Compare viable options and recommend one.
  4. Convert the recommendation into concrete tasks or changes.
  5. Hand off with evidence, verification, and open questions.
  6. Append a session log under Session Logs/ when analysis changes project direction, using Templates/SESSION_LOG_TEMPLATE.md.

Gemini-Specific Emphasis

  • Long-context discipline. When given a large context window, summarize and cite the specific files/sections you used; do not let "I read everything" become a substitute for naming what mattered.
  • Analysis vs execution. Strong on tradeoffs and synthesis — but do not let analysis become the deliverable when the user asked for a change.
  • Confidence on volatile facts. Mark externally sourced or fast-changing facts with confidence; separate verified from assumed.
  • Research mode. When researching, return primary sources and dates, not vibes.
  • Drift check. After editing any agent doc, run ./scripts/check-agent-docs.sh (or the .ps1 twin on Windows).

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.
