    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

gemini 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.

Gemini CLI Skill Guide

Available Models

Model Best for
gemini-3.1-pro Most capable — complex reasoning, agentic tasks, coding, long-context
gemini-3-flash High-performance at lower cost, general-purpose
gemini-3.1-flash-lite Fastest and cheapest — lightweight tasks, high-volume
gemini-2.5-pro Advanced reasoning, deep coding (stable, well-tested)
gemini-2.5-flash Best price-performance ratio, low-latency

Default recommendation: gemini-3.1-pro for complex tasks, gemini-3-flash for speed.

Running a Task

  1. Ask the user (via AskUserQuestion) which model to use (default: gemini-3.1-pro) AND which approval mode (default, auto_edit, yolo, or plan) in a single prompt with two questions.
  2. Assemble the command:
    • -m, --model <MODEL> — the model to use
    • --approval-mode <MODE>default (prompt), auto_edit (auto-approve edits), yolo (auto-approve all), plan (read-only)
    • -p, --prompt "<PROMPT>" — run in non-interactive (headless) mode
    • -o text — text output format for clean parsing
  3. Run the command, capture output, and summarize the outcome for the user.
  4. After Gemini completes, inform the user: "You can resume this Gemini session at any time by saying 'gemini resume' or asking me to continue."

Quick Reference

Use case Approval mode Key flags
Read-only review or analysis plan --approval-mode plan -o text
Apply local edits (auto-approve edits) auto_edit --approval-mode auto_edit -o text
Full auto (approve everything) yolo -y -o text
Resume recent session Inherited -r latest -p "new prompt" -o text
Include extra directories Match task needs --include-directories <DIR>

Following Up

  • After every gemini command, immediately use AskUserQuestion to confirm next steps, collect clarifications, or decide whether to resume.
  • When resuming, use: gemini -r latest -p "new prompt" -o text. The resumed session uses the same context from the original session.
  • Restate the chosen model and approval mode when proposing follow-up actions.

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.
