What this skill does
Gemini CLI Integration Skill This skill enables Claude Code to effectively orchestrate Gemini CLI (v0.16.0+) with Gemini 3 Pro for code generation, review, analysis, and specialized tasks. When to Use This Skill Ideal Use Cases 1. Second Opinion / Cross-Validation Code review after writing code (different AI perspective) Security audit with alternative analysis Finding bugs Claude might have missed 2. Google Search Grounding Questions requiring current internet information Latest library versions, API changes, documentation updates Current events or recent releases 3. Codebase Architecture Analysis Use Gemini's codebaseinvestigator tool Understanding unfamiliar codebases Mapping cross-file dependencies 4. Parallel Processing Offload tasks while continuing other work Run multiple code generations simultaneously Background documentation generation 5. Specialized Generation Test suite generation JSDoc/documentation generation Code translation between languages When NOT to Use Simple, quick tasks (overhead not worth it) Tasks requiring immediate response (rate limits cause delays) When context is already loaded and understood Interactive refinement requiring conversation Core Instructions 1. Verify Installation 2. Basic Command Pattern Key flags: --yolo or -y: Auto-approve all tool calls -o text: Human-readable output -o json: Structured output with stats -m gemini-2.5-flash: Use faster model for simple tasks 3. Critical Behavioral Notes YOLO Mode Behavior: Auto-approves tool calls but does NOT prevent planning prompts. Gemini may still present plans and ask "Does this plan look good?" Use forceful language: "Apply now" "Start immediately" "Do this without asking for confirmation" Rate Limits: Free tier has 60 requests/min, 1000/day. CLI auto-retries with backoff. Expect messages like "quota will reset after Xs". 4. …
