Send a question or task to Gemini and return a research-backed response. Gemini is always instructed to perform web research via Google Search, making this ideal for deep-research tasks that benefit from up-to-date internet information.
Do not pass free-form user text to the shell unquoted. The question or task may contain spaces or shell metacharacters such as (, ), ;, #, *, or [.
If the user only supplied a question or task, execute:
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ask-gemini.sh" "$ARGUMENTS"
If the user supplied flags such as --gemini-model or --gemini-timeout, reconstruct the command so those flags remain separate shell arguments and the remaining free-form question is passed as one quoted final argument.
Example:
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ask-gemini.sh" --gemini-model gemini-2.5-pro "What are the latest Rust async runtime benchmarks?"
Never run this unsafe form:
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ask-gemini.sh" $ARGUMENTS
because the shell will re-parse the question text and can fail before ask-gemini.sh starts.
| Exit Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Success - Gemini response is in stdout |
| 1 | Validation error (missing gemini, empty question, invalid flags) |
| 124 | Timeout - suggest using --gemini-timeout with a larger value |
| Other | Gemini process error - report the exit code and any stderr output |
