Read Temp File Skill
This skill allows you to safely read files from the project's temporary directory temp/, bypassing standard git-ignore restrictions.
Instructions
When you need to read a file from the temp/ directory (e.g., to verify the content of a generated issue description):
- Do NOT use the
read_file tool. It will fail for ignored files.
- Instead, use the
run_shell_command tool to execute the helper script.
- Command format:
python3 .gemini/skills/read-temp-file/scripts/read_temp_file.py <file_path>
Example
To read temp/gh_issues/issue_description.md:
python3 .gemini/skills/read-temp-file/scripts/read_temp_file.py temp/gh_issues/issue_description.md
Constraints
- The file must be inside the
temp/ directory.
- The file must not be binary.
- The file must not exceed 2000 lines.
