Gemini CLI

SkillWeb & browsing

This skill lets your AI delegate coding tasks and repository analysis to the Gemini command-line tool and report the results back to you. Once added, your AI can hand a question to Gemini, share its answer, and run the same task through another coding agent to compare the two.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding the skill, ask your AI to delegate a coding or repository question to Gemini, for example to analyze a repo or to compare Gemini's answer with another coding agent's.

Then ask your AI: use the Gemini CLI skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Delegate coding tasks to the Gemini command-line tool
  • Have Gemini analyze a repository and report the findings back
  • Run the same task through Gemini and another coding agent to compare results
  • Bring Gemini's answers into your conversation for review

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by cherryhq/cherry-studio in resources/code-cli-skills/code-mate-gemini/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Run

  1. Set the Bash working directory to the exact project the user named and set a finite timeout, normally 10 minutes.
  2. Check availability with command -v gemini. If it is missing, stop and ask the user to install Gemini CLI in Code Mate.
  3. Run one task and exit:
gemini -p "<prompt>" --output-format json

Pass the prompt as one quoted argument. Parse the JSON result and treat a JSON error or nonzero exit as failure. Never start interactive Gemini or an authentication flow.

Authentication And Permissions

If Gemini reports missing authentication, project, or provider configuration, stop and ask the user to finish Gemini setup in Code Mate. Never request, read, print, or copy credentials.

Keep headless approval policy at its read-only default. Only when the user explicitly requests workspace changes may the command use the narrowest policy and tool permissions needed; do not enable unrestricted approval.

Example: ask Gemini to review a module without editing, run the command above from the repository, and summarize the parsed response and any reported error.
