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
geminiCLI 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.
Shared Patterns
This skill uses shared modules from delegation-core:
- •Authentication: See
delegation-core/../../leyline/skills/authentication-patterns/SKILL.md - •Quota Management: See
delegation-core/../../leyline/skills/quota-management/SKILL.md - •Usage Logging: See
delegation-core/../../leyline/skills/usage-logging/SKILL.md - •Error Handling: See
delegation-core/../../leyline/skills/error-patterns/SKILL.md
Gemini-Specific Details
For Gemini-specific models, CLI options, cost reference, and troubleshooting, see modules/gemini-specifics.md.
Exit Criteria
- •Authentication confirmed working
- •Quota checked and sufficient
- •Command executed successfully
- •Usage logged for tracking
