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-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 model unset by default. Add
--model only when the user explicitly asks for one. Accepted aliases: flash → gemini-2.5-flash (fast), pro → gemini-3.1-pro-preview (powerful/default), thinking → 2.5 Flash with reasoning tokens.
- Leave
--depth unset unless the user's request implies shallow or deep analysis. Accepted values: low (quick scan, flash model), medium (default), high (deep analysis, pro model + expanded prompt).
- Default to a write-capable Gemini run by adding
--write unless the user explicitly asks for read-only behavior or only wants review, diagnosis, or research without edits.
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, pass it through to task.
- 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.
- 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.
