Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00078 | $0.02727 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00031 | $0.01091 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00545 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00273 |
Grade A, and why
gemini-cli 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to copilot-cli — 104 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.

Gemini CLI (subagent / task delegation)
What is it
This skill teaches your agent to use an agent from another vendor as a subagent.
Almost every coding agent has a headless mode. Headless mode runs the agent from the terminal with one command and returns the answer to stdout. This skill gives the command pattern for one such agent, and the protocol to transfer enough context with the task.
You stay the main agent. You keep the plan, the decisions and the conversation with the user. The subagent does one bounded task and reports back.
When to delegate
- The user asks for it. The user names another agent, or asks for a second opinion.
- Large or multi-step work. The task covers several files, phases or checkpoints.
- Code review with a fresh mind. Another agent reviews the work with a different lens and no memory of the decisions that produced it.
- Planning that needs different ideas. A second agent proposes options that you did not consider.
- An internal council. Several subagents answer the same question, and you compare the answers.
- Deep research. The other CLI has web search, web extraction or browser automation.
- Background investigation. A long task runs in the background while you continue in the foreground.
When not to delegate
- Small or single-step tasks. One or two edits, or a short explanation, are faster in this thread.
- Tight feedback loops. The user wants quick back-and-forth in one conversation.
- Secrets or policy-sensitive work. Do not pipe credentials into a subagent. Redact first.
- Context you already hold. Repeating the whole plan in a prompt adds no value.
- Low return on investment. If writing the handoff costs more than doing the edit, do the edit.
- Work that needs high precision and full judgement. A subagent without your context will break a task that depends on a detail only this session knows.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

gemini-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository amirkiarafiei/subagent-cli-skills (13 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 2,727 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to copilot-cli, differing in 104 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
wish
Deliver one decided task end to end — admit it, work it in one worktree, gate, independent review, bounded repair, a merge-ready PR — or plan a multi-group wish when it is bigger than one task.
work
Execute an approved wish in dependency order with scoped workers, independent review, bounded repairs, and verified completion.
brainstorm
Explore an ambiguous idea with the user, settle scope and success criteria, and produce an independently reviewed design for wish.
report
Investigate a failure to its root cause with grounded evidence, hand the diagnosis to fix, and create a GitHub issue only when asked.
static
Stash is your personal home for agent work. Everything you create is scoped to your account — it is yours alone, with nothing to pick or set up first. Your Stash has three primary surfaces.
council
Assess a proposal through independent technical, product, risk, and dissenting lenses, then synthesize a decision without mutating unless explicitly requested.
