simplicio-loop: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

simplicio-loop GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from wesleysimplicio/simplicio-loop. It costs 1,107 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A runtime-independent set of instructions for running the simplicio-loop workflow with coding agents such as Gemini, Codex, Copilot, Grok, or local agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect repository guidance, run simplicio mapping and planning commands, make an issue-scoped change, and verify it with tests or other project checks.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined order for understanding the repository, planning a bounded change, editing files, and checking the result. This reduces guesswork when handling open issues.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is wesleysimplicio/simplicio-loop's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on simplicio-loop 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 simplicio-loop 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

simplicio-loop 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GEMINI.md — simplicio-loop (Gemini / other runtimes)

The simplicio-loop skill is runtime-agnostic. Gemini, Codex, Copilot, Grok, or any local agent can run it from the same source file.

Load

Point your agent at:

.claude/skills/simplicio-loop/SKILL.md

The folder name is .claude/ for convention, but nothing in the skill is Claude-specific — it uses only shell, git, gh, file edit, and web.

Use

simplicio-loop: finish all the open issues

Current flow for any LLM

Read llms.txt → AGENTS.md → .claude/skills/simplicio-loop/SKILL.md. Check simplicio-mapper --help, simplicio-fast --help, and simplicio-dev-cli --help; then run Mapper scan, inspect, and handoff before deciding an AC-scoped change. Use Fast for bounded snapshot/PlanDAG context, Dev CLI for the edit plus verification, and real tests/gates for evidence. Runtime/MCP is off by default (standalone); do not invoke it unless explicitly opted in.

The orchestrator delegates, when loaded, to five satellite skills — simplicio-loop (Ralph loop), simplicio-orient (terminal-first token economy), simplicio-review (adversarial review), simplicio-compress (prose + memory compression), simplicio-learn (retrospective). All live in .claude/skills/.

Install & token economy

bash scripts/install.sh gemini      # writes .gemini/settings.json MCP + loads the skills
python3 hooks/orient_clamp.py -- <heavy command>   # reduce output before it hits context

Binding

Use the host-independent bounded delivery policy and its ADR 0008 for WIP, frozen scope, reviews, ownership, integration, and release boundaries.

Where your runtime exposes native capabilities (a repo mapper, a deterministic file writer, a local model fan-out, a durable scheduler), bind them to the matching extension points in the Step 1b table so the steps become deterministic and near-zero-token. Otherwise the LLM fallbacks cover 100% of the work.

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.
