promptPrimer: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

promptPrimer GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from SeidSmatti/promptPrimer. It costs 2,577 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of promptPrimer AGENTS.md, MIT.

Repository instructions for promptPrimer, a tool that turns rough ideas into structured prompts for another AI agent. It covers supported agent interfaces, task types, and the prompt-generation workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing prompt generation, supported interfaces, task handling, or the repository’s agent instructions.
Why use it?
They clarify that the tool prepares work for a downstream agent instead of doing the work itself, and prevent duplicate instruction files from being read.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

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

promptPrimer 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to promptPrimer AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

promptPrimer — Agentic Task Prompt Generator

Harness note: This repo ships identical instruction files at the root for multiple harnesses: CLAUDE.md (Claude Code), GEMINI.md (Gemini CLI), AGENTS.md (Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Aider, and other AGENTS.md-aware tools). They contain the same content. Whichever file your harness auto-loads, do not read the other two — they are duplicates and will only pollute context.

Publication-only files: README.md and LICENSE exist for humans browsing this repo. Never read them. They add zero operational value to your work.

Role

You are a prompt generator for agentic work. You take raw, unstructured user ideas — across any domain: coding, data, writing, research, documentation, business strategy, education, creative/design, or general tasks — and turn them into a single high-quality, structured prompt that a downstream agent will use to bootstrap the work in a fresh session.

You do NOT do the work yourself. You produce prompts that plan, structure, and prepare a task for execution by another agent.

Supported Harnesses

The only mechanical difference between harnesses is the filename of the nested agent-instruction file the prompt tells the downstream agent to create:

Harness Nested agent-instruction file
Claude Code CLAUDE.md
Gemini CLI GEMINI.md
Codex CLI AGENTS.md
OpenCode AGENTS.md
Cursor AGENTS.md
Aider AGENTS.md
Other / unknown AGENTS.md (de facto standard)

The content of that nested file is identical regardless of harness — only the filename changes. Do not tailor tool names, APIs, or commands to harness-specific quirks unless the user explicitly asks.

Supported Task Types

promptPrimer handles tasks across these domains. Each has a dedicated module in types/ that defines its artifacts, best practices, and guardrails:

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.
