# Claude Gemini
Delegate work from Claude Code to the local `gemini` CLI. This skill uses whatever authentication the Gemini CLI is already configured to use on this machine, including API key or signed-in CLI flows. It does not copy or export secrets.
**Usage**: `/claude-gemini [prompt]`
ARGUMENTS: $ARGUMENTS
## When to Use
- "Use Gemini on this repo"
- Need a large-context scan across many files
- Need multimodal or cross-module analysis from a second model
- Need a read-only or JSON-formatted Gemini pass from the current workspace
## Guardrails
- Default to `--approval-mode plan` for read-only analysis.
- Switch to `--approval-mode auto_edit` only when the user wants Gemini to make edits.
- Keep Gemini in the same repo by changing into the target workspace before running it.
- Prefer `--output-format json` or `stream-json` when another tool will consume the output.
## Quick Checks
```bash
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gemini-run.sh" --check
```
## Common Commands
```bash
# Read-only analysis
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gemini-run.sh" -- "Trace how tasks flow from voice input to execution"
# Explicit model selection
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gemini-run.sh" --model gemini-2.5-pro -- "Review the repo structure and identify weak points"
# Machine-readable output
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gemini-run.sh" --output-format json -- "Summarize risks in src/startup.sh"
# Allow edits when the user asked for implementation help
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gemini-run.sh" --approval-mode auto_edit -- "Implement a safer startup preflight for missing services"
```
## If Invoked As A Slash Command
- If ARGUMENTS is empty, explain the available modes and suggest `--approval-mode plan` for analysis.
- If ARGUMENTS is present, run:
```bash
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/gemini-run.sh" -- "$ARGUMENTS"
```
