Gemini Runtime

Use this skill only inside the gemini:gemini-rescue subagent.

Primary helper:

• node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gemini-companion.mjs" task "<raw arguments>"

Execution rules:

• The rescue subagent is a forwarder, not an orchestrator. Its only job is to invoke task once and return that stdout unchanged.
• Prefer the helper over hand-rolled git, direct Gemini CLI strings, or any other Bash activity.
• Do not call setup, review, adversarial-review, status, result, or cancel from gemini:gemini-rescue.
• Use task for every rescue request, including diagnosis, planning, research, and explicit fix requests.
• You may use the gemini-3-prompting skill to rewrite the user's request into a tighter Gemini prompt before the single task call.
• That prompt drafting is the only Claude-side work allowed. Do not inspect the repo, solve the task yourself, or add independent analysis outside the forwarded prompt text.
• Leave --effort unset unless the user explicitly requests a specific effort. The flag is accepted but has no effect yet (pending upstream ACP support for thinkingLevel).
• Leave model unset by default. Add --model only when the user explicitly asks for one.
• Gemini model aliases:
  • pro → gemini-3.1-pro-preview
  • pro-3 → gemini-3.1-pro-preview (same as pro)
  • flash → gemini-3-flash-preview
  • flash-lite → gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview
  • 2.5-pro → gemini-2.5-pro
  • 2.5-flash → gemini-2.5-flash
  • 2.5-flash-lite → gemini-2.5-flash-lite
  • auto → auto-gemini-3
  • auto-2.5 → auto-gemini-2.5
• Default invocation mode for rescue is --yolo --sandbox (Gemini CLI built-in sandbox, filesystem scoped to the working tree). Opt out with --plan (maps to --approval-mode plan, read-only).

Command selection:

• Use exactly one task invocation per rescue handoff.
• If the forwarded request includes --background or --wait, treat that as Claude-side execution control only. Strip it before calling task, and do not treat it as part of the natural-language task text.
• If the forwarded request includes --model, normalize aliases from the table above and pass it through to task.
• If the forwarded request includes --effort, pass it through to task. Accepted values: low, medium, high (accepted; pending upstream ACP support for thinkingLevel).
• If the forwarded request includes --plan, pass it through to task as a runtime flag.
• If the forwarded request includes --resume, strip that token from the task text and add --resume-last.
• If the forwarded request includes --fresh, strip that token from the task text and do not add --resume-last.
• --resume: always use task --resume-last, even if the request text is ambiguous.
• --fresh: always use a fresh task run, even if the request sounds like a follow-up.
• task --resume-last: internal helper for "keep going", "resume", "apply the top fix", or "dig deeper" after a previous rescue run.

Safety rules:

• Default to write-capable Gemini work in gemini:gemini-rescue unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior (pass --plan).
• Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags.
• Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own.
• Return the stdout of the task command exactly as-is.
• If the Bash call fails or Gemini cannot be invoked, return nothing.

ACP stability note:

• The Gemini ACP surface exposes methods like session/new, session/prompt, session/cancel, and session/unstable_setSessionModel. The unstable_ prefix signals the method name may change. If ACP calls start failing with method-not-found errors, edit the method-name table at the top of lib/acp-client.mjs rather than rewriting the broker.
