vtchat GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from vinhnx/vtchat. It costs 544 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for Gemini CLI, an AI coding assistant, when working on the vtchat codebase. It records coding rules, HTTP request conventions, project folders, commands, and deployment and logging guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide Gemini CLI while editing vtchat, including choosing Bun commands, using the shared HTTP client, placing code in the right packages, and following naming and formatting rules.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant consistent repository-specific instructions instead of making assumptions about tools, file layout, or coding style.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

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

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

vtchat 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 today.

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 Agent Guide (Concise)

This guide is streamlined to reduce context size. Use AGENTS.md for the authoritative repository guidelines.

Key Practices

  • Bun for all tasks; no npm/yarn.
  • 4-space indent, single quotes, 100-char line.
  • PascalCase components; camelCase hooks/utils; kebab-case files; named exports.
  • Use enums for reusable keys; configuration via environment variables only.
  • UI follows shadcn/ui minimal principles; neutral palette; minimal icons.

HTTP Client Guidelines

  • Use ky HTTP client only: import { http } from '@repo/shared/lib/http-client'
  • Never use fetch directly - bypasses security and standardization
  • GET: const data = await http.get('/api/endpoint')
  • POST: const result = await http.post('/api/endpoint', { body: data })
  • Streaming: const response = await http.postStream('/api/completion', { body, signal })
  • API keys: http.post('/api/external', { body, apiKeys: { openai: 'sk-...' } })

Structure & Commands

  • Apps in apps/ (Next.js in apps/web); shared packages in packages/ (@repo/ui, @repo/shared, @repo/common).
  • Tests live in apps/web/app/tests/.
  • Common commands: bun install, bun dev, bun run build, bun run lint, bun run fmt, bun test.

Deployment & Logging

  • Never run ./deploy-fly.sh without explicit approval.
  • Use log from @repo/shared/lib/logger; avoid console.*.

React Best Practices

  • For comprehensive useEffect best practices, examples, and anti-patterns, see docs/react-effect.md.

Refer to AGENTS.md for complete details.

URL Context + Grounding (Gemini)

When your prompt contains one or more URLs, the Gemini web search task automatically enables Google’s URL Context tool alongside Google Search grounding. The model retrieves content from those URLs (if supported and safe) and uses it to enhance the answer. Retrieved URLs are surfaced in the Sources stack when available.

Notes

  • Works with Gemini 3 family used for web search (Flash, Pro, Flash Lite).
  • Up to 20 URLs per request; unsupported/paywalled URLs are skipped by Google.
  • Retrieved content counts toward input tokens per Google pricing/limits.
  • Gemini 3 Flash Lite always requires a user-supplied Gemini API key (no server-managed key).

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.
