Gemini CLI Delegation
Overview
This skill implements conjure:delegation-core for the Gemini CLI. It provides Gemini-specific authentication, quota management, and command construction using shared patterns.
When To Use
-
After Skill(conjure:delegation-core) determines Gemini is suitable
-
When you need Gemini's large context window (1M+ tokens)
-
For batch processing, summarization, or pattern extraction tasks
-
If the gemini CLI is installed and authenticated
When NOT To Use
-
Deciding which model to use (use delegation-core first)
-
Gemini CLI not installed
-
Deciding which model to use (use delegation-core first)
-
Gemini CLI not installed
Prerequisites
Installation:
Verify installation
gemini --version
Check authentication
gemini auth status
Login if needed
gemini auth login
Or set API key
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key"
Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
Delegation Flow
Implements standard delegation-core flow with Gemini specifics:
-
gemini-delegation:auth-verified
-
Verify Gemini authentication
-
gemini-delegation:quota-checked
-
Check Gemini API quota
-
gemini-delegation:command-executed
-
Execute via Gemini CLI
-
gemini-delegation:usage-logged
-
Log Gemini API usage
Quick Start
Basic Command
File analysis
gemini -p "@path/to/file Analyze this code"
Multiple files
gemini -p "@src/**/*.py Summarize these files"
With specific model
gemini --model gemini-2.5-pro-exp -p "..."
JSON output
gemini --output-format json -p "..."
Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
Save Output
gemini -p "..." > delegations/gemini/$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).md
Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
