guide

A quick-reference skill for Gemini plugin commands, model names, reasoning effort levels, and review settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check commands for code review, analysis, consultation, task status, results, cancellation, setup, model selection, effort levels, and review gates.
Why use it?
It avoids having to remember the available commands and options when using the Gemini plugin.

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

guide 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 2d 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.

Gemini Plugin Quick Reference

Commands

Command Purpose
/gemini:review Code review with full codebase context
/gemini:challenge Challenge-oriented design review
/gemini:analyze Whole-codebase analysis (1M context)
/gemini:consult Delegate tasks to Gemini
/gemini:status Check background task progress
/gemini:result Get finished task output
/gemini:cancel Stop a running task
/gemini:setup Check install, auth, manage review gate

Model Aliases

Use with --model on any command:

Alias Model
flash, fast gemini-3-flash-preview (default, fastest)
pro, deep gemini-3.1-pro-preview (most capable)
lite gemini-2.5-flash-lite (cheapest)
flash-2 gemini-2.5-flash
pro-2 gemini-2.5-pro

Effort Levels

Use with --effort on any command (maps to Gemini thinking budget):

Level Budget
low Light reasoning
medium Standard
high Deep reasoning
xhigh, max Maximum
none No thinking
<number> Token count

Review Gate

/gemini:setup --enable-review-gate     # Enable
/gemini:setup --disable-review-gate    # Disable
/gemini:setup --gate-config model=pro  # Configure

Runtime

All commands route through scripts/gemini-companion.mjs. This single entry point handles:

  • Model alias resolution
  • Effort levels (reserved for future Gemini CLI support)
  • Background job tracking (.gemini-tasks/state.json)
  • Structured JSON output parsing
  • Session lifecycle (SessionStart/SessionEnd hooks)

The stop review gate (hooks/hooks.json) uses Node.js and skips turns that didn't make code edits.

Common Patterns

/gemini:review                          # Auto-detect scope
/gemini:review --model pro --effort high --base main
/gemini:analyze                         # Interactive menu
/gemini:consult --model flash --effort low quick fix
/gemini:challenge question the caching design

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.

guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository arescope/gemini-plugin-cc (6 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 611 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
