A review skill that asks Google's Gemini command-line tool to independently inspect a project and provide another opinion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user explicitly asks for Gemini's view, or asks for both Gemini and another independent review.

About the project

Claude Code Development Kit is a starter workflow that gives Claude Code project context, working notes, verification commands, review commands, and hooks for maintaining them across sessions. It is for beginners and intermediate users building applications or side projects who want Claude Code to understand the codebase and check its work. The catalogue entries are the kit's skills and commands.

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

second-opinion-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Second Opinion — Gemini (explicit / fallback engine)

Get an independent second opinion from Google's Gemini Pro. This model has a completely different architecture and training from Claude, making it genuinely useful for catching blind spots, validating reasoning on edge cases, or surfacing trade-offs you might miss.

This is NOT the default second-opinion engine. Generic second-opinion requests route to the default second-opinion skill. Use this Gemini skill only when:

  • The user explicitly asks for Gemini ("ask Gemini", "Gemini's take", "what does Gemini think").
  • The user says "ask both" — run this and the default second-opinion skill, then synthesize all three views (yours + the default engine's + Gemini's).
  • The default engine was reported unavailable and the user wants the alternate independent voice.

Gemini has full read access to the project — it can read files, grep code, and explore the codebase. Its project instructions (GEMINI.md) tell it to prime itself on the key docs before answering. You provide the specific question and any focused context; Gemini handles the rest.

Model selection

Pinned to gemini-3.1-pro-preview by default for quality (smaller models give weaker second opinions; not worth the false confidence they create).

When Google deprecates the preview pin — preview models rotate fast — override per-session or globally:

export CLAUDE_SECOND_OPINION_MODEL=gemini-3.2-pro   # or whatever the current Pro-tier model is

Every invocation below uses the bash pattern ${CLAUDE_SECOND_OPINION_MODEL:-gemini-3.1-pro-preview} — the env var wins if set, otherwise the pinned default.

Do not fall back to a smaller/older model when the pin breaks. Report unavailability and continue with Claude-only analysis.

Process

Step 1: Prepare the Prompt

Gemini has NO access to your conversation history, but it CAN read project files. Structure your prompt as:

  1. Scope (optional) — by default Gemini primes on the whole project. If the question is about one module or component, name it so Gemini reads the right files first (e.g., "This is about the auth module" — detect the relevant module from the file paths you've been working in).
  2. The question — what exactly you want Gemini to weigh in on
  3. Your current thinking (recommended) — share your position so Gemini can challenge it
  4. Specific context (if needed) — pipe code snippets or diffs via stdin when the relevant code is scattered or you want to focus attention on specific sections

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.
