kernel

kernel is a plugin for Claude Code, Gemini CLI from ariaxhan/kernel-claude. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-engineering method layer for Gemini CLI, a command-line coding assistant. It provides skills for debugging, planning, code review, handoffs, testing, releases, and coordinating multiple agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reproduce and fix bugs, compare approaches, critique plans, review code, coordinate agents, and check work before releases.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant a repeatable way to investigate problems and review decisions instead of relying on ad hoc steps. In Gemini CLI, it does not include the separate safety hooks or session memory described for other tools.

Plugin for Claude CodeGemini CLI

Written for Claude Code and Gemini CLI: PreToolUse hook event, but also a Gemini CLI extension manifest. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex; mentions Gemini CLI.

Good fit Use it to reproduce and fix bugs, compare approaches, critique plans, review code, coordinate agents, and check work before releases.

Getting it into your agent

Security

Grade A, and why

kernel 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.

What it actually says

{
  "name": "kernel",
  "version": "9.10.4",
  "description": "KERNEL's methodology layer for Gemini CLI: 27 software-engineering agent skills plus llms.txt as ambient context. Skills cover systematic debugging (reproduce, isolate, regression-test), generating competing approaches before implementing, pre-implementation critique, code review, bounded context handoff and resume, multi-agent orchestration, eval-driven development, release gating, and context-led frontend design. Gemini CLI gets the methodology only. KERNEL's enforcement layer does not run here: the PreToolUse hooks that block destructive commands and secret writes, the one-time human approval token for irreversible operations, and the agentdb SQLite memory recalled at session start are Claude Code and Codex only. `gemini extensions install` fetches a curated release bundle that carries just this manifest, llms.txt, and skills/, so no Claude-format hook or agent definition is loaded. Source, safety limits, and the host capability matrix: https://github.com/ariaxhan/kernel-claude",
  "contextFileName": "llms.txt"

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.
