gemini
Overview
IMPORTANT: This skill is intended for coding agents other than Gemini CLI. If you are Gemini CLI, do not activate or follow this skill. Use this guidance when you (an external agent) need to leverage the Gemini CLI tool for deep analysis or a second opinion.
Why use Gemini CLI?
Gemini CLI provides access to models with a 1M+ token context window. It is ideal for:
- Second Opinions: Getting a review from a different model family to avoid "model blindness".
- Large Context: Analyzing entire repositories, long logs, or massive diffs that exceed your own context limit.
- Verification: Double-checking complex logic or architecture decisions before implementation.
Invocation Reference
Always use "headless" mode when calling Gemini CLI from another agent to ensure predictable, non-blocking output.

Use when brainstorming ideas, features, or directions for a project where independent perspectives from different model families (Claude/Codex/Gemini) would surface blind spots and spark creative options the user hasn't considered — especially "what cool things can I add", "what should I build next", "give me ideas for X
