Collaborating with Gemini CLI

Use this skill when you want a second model (Gemini) to sanity-check a solution, spot edge cases, propose tests, or suggest an alternative implementation approach.

This skill provides a small JSON bridge script that runs gemini (Gemini CLI) in non-interactive headless mode and returns structured output.

Compared to collaborating-with-claude-code, this skill defaults to read-only and is optimized for file-scoped, one-shot requests to avoid practical effective-context degradation.

Requirements

• Gemini CLI installed (gemini --version).
  • Install via npm: npm i -g @google/gemini-cli
• Gemini CLI authenticated (Google account login or API key auth, depending on your local setup).
• Python 3 (to run the bridge script).
