Ask Gemini

Get feedback from Google's Gemini CLI on code, architecture decisions, or implementation approaches.

Prerequisites

• Gemini CLI installed: npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
• Authenticated: run gemini once to login with Google account
• Verify: gemini --version

When to Use

• Want a second opinion on code quality
• Need architectural review
• Comparing implementation approaches
• Code review before commit

How to Invoke

The user will ask something like:

• "ask gemini what it thinks about this code"
• "get gemini's opinion on this approach"
• "demande à gemini de reviewer ce fichier"

Execution

For file review

gemini "Review this code and provide 3 specific improvements: $(cat <file_path>)"

For architectural questions

gemini "<user's question about architecture or approach>"

For comparing approaches

gemini "Compare these two approaches and recommend which is better: Approach A: <desc> vs Approach B: <desc>"

Output Format

Present Gemini's response clearly to the user. If Gemini suggests improvements, summarize them as actionable items.

Examples

File review

User: "demande à gemini ce qu'il pense du semantic-skill-router.py"

gemini "Review this Python script for a semantic routing system. List 3 improvements for production use: $(cat scripts/semantic-skill-router.py)"

Architecture question

User: "ask gemini if I should use Redis or in-memory cache"

gemini "Compare Redis vs in-memory caching for a CLI tool that routes user prompts. Consider: startup time, complexity, persistence needs."

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Fix
gemini: command not found	CLI not installed	npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
Authentication required	Not logged in	Run gemini interactively, login with Google
Response timeout	Large file or slow network	Reduce file size or retry
Rate limit exceeded	Too many requests	Wait 1 minute, retry

Notes

• Gemini has 1M token context window
• Default model: Gemini 2.5 Pro
• Timeout: allow up to 60s for response
• If response is cut off, Gemini may still be processing

Skill Chaining

Input Expected
