Gemini CLI Skill

Use Google’s gemini CLI as an external “second brain” when you need a very large context window, a second opinion, or safe sandbox execution. This skill does not use MCP; it runs the local CLI directly.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• “Ask Gemini” / “Use Gemini”
• Analyze or summarize large files or directories (especially with @path references)
• Brainstorm options with a specific framework (SCAMPER, design thinking, etc.)
• Generate structured edit suggestions (“change mode”) that can be applied deterministically

Prerequisites

• gemini CLI is installed and configured (e.g. gemini --version works)
• You are allowed to run local shell commands in this environment
• For sandbox execution, Gemini CLI supports -s/--sandbox (see gemini --help)
