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

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:

1. gemini-delegation:auth-verified - Verify Gemini authentication
2. gemini-delegation:quota-checked - Check Gemini API quota
3. gemini-delegation:command-executed - Execute via Gemini CLI
4. 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
