arduino-skills: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

arduino-skills GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for Arduino development, covering the shared skills and the process for working with physical boards and embedded C/C++ code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or modifying Arduino projects, selecting specialist guidance, declaring hardware pins, or running multi-session hardware work.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes caused by loading irrelevant guidance or making hardware changes without confirming the board and other physical evidence.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md.

This is wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on arduino-skills 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 arduino-skills 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

arduino-skills 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Arduino skills

The shared source of truth is skills/. Load only the specialist skill and references needed for the request. Preserve the board intake, ordered constexpr int declarations, C/C++ embedded-first orientation, and explicit hardware evidence gates.

For physical or multi-session work, load skills/embedded-project-loop/SKILL.md first so the durable goal, next todo, and user-owned evidence gate exist before specialist routing.

Changes

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.
