An internal contract describing how Claude Code calls Gemini CLI through a companion script.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running read-only code reviews, adversarial reviews, write-capable tasks, background jobs, status and result checks, cancellation, and setup checks.
Why use it?
It gives the agent one defined way to start reviews, delegate tasks, inspect jobs, and cancel work.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Gemini CLI.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-cli-runtime 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Gemini CLI Runtime Contract

How to call Gemini

All Gemini CLI operations go through gemini-companion.mjs:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gemini-companion.mjs" <subcommand> [args]

Subcommands

Command Mode Description
review read-only Code review (sandbox mode)
adversarial-review read-only Challenge review (sandbox mode)
task "prompt" write-capable Delegate a coding task
status [id] read-only List jobs or show job details
result [id] read-only Show completed job output
cancel [id] read-only Cancel a running job
setup read-only Check CLI, manage review gate

Flags

  • --model <model> — Override Gemini model
  • --base <ref> — Git base ref for diff (default: HEAD)
  • --background — Run as background job
  • --wait — Wait for completion (foreground)
  • --scope <text> — Review scope description

Background jobs

When --background is passed, the companion script:

  1. Creates a job entry in state
  2. Spawns gemini as a detached process
  3. Returns immediately with job ID
  4. Output streams to a log file

Use status to check progress, result to read output, cancel to kill.

Important

  • NEVER run gemini directly — always go through gemini-companion.mjs
  • Review outputs should be shown verbatim, never summarized
  • Task outputs should be reviewed before applying to the codebase
Changes

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.
