Gemini Research

Overview

This skill enables Claude Code to delegate research and analysis tasks to Gemini CLI, leveraging Gemini's strengths in codebase exploration, web-enhanced investigation, and multimodal analysis. While Claude Code focuses on implementation, Gemini provides deep analysis and current information through Google Search integration.

Key principle: Gemini is used for research and analysis (including codebase analysis) - it does NOT write implementation code. Claude Code remains responsible for all implementation work.

When Claude Should Use This Skill

Automatically leverage Gemini CLI in these scenarios:

1. Plan Mode - Repository Analysis: Understanding large or unfamiliar codebases before planning changes
2. Plan Mode - Library Research: Evaluating and selecting libraries, researching APIs and frameworks
3. Error Investigation: Finding solutions to build errors, runtime issues, or unexpected behavior
4. Best Practices Research: Gathering current patterns, conventions, and community consensus
5. Documentation Discovery: Finding usage examples and implementation guides for libraries/APIs
