gemini
Run Google Gemini CLI as a subagent for second opinions, code reviews, and questions. Use when you want a different AI model's perspective.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill gemini-yuvasee-samocode --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Gemini Subagent Run Google Gemini CLI for second opinions and external reviews. ## Availability Check Before using Gemini, verify it's installed: ```bash which gemini >/dev/null 2>&1 || echo "GEMINI_NOT_INSTALLED" ``` If not installed, inform the user: "Gemini CLI is not installed. Skipping Gemini review." ## API Key Gemini requires `GEMINI_API_KEY` in the environment. Load it from the `.env` file in the current working directory (the folder your current agent session is running from): ```bash GEMINI_API_KEY=$(grep '^GEMINI_API_KEY=' .env 2>/dev/null | cut -d= -f2-) export GEMINI_API_KEY ``` If `.env` doesn't exist or doesn't contain `GEMINI_API_KEY`, inform the user: "GEMINI_API_KEY not found in .env file." ## Execution Pattern ```bash GEMINI_API_KEY=$(grep '^GEMINI_API_KEY=' .env 2>/dev/null | cut -d= -f2-) gemini -p "$PROMPT" --yolo 2>&1 ``` ### Flags | Flag | Purpose | |------|---------| | `-p` / `--prompt` | Non-interactive mode with direct prompt | | `--yolo` | Auto-approve all tool calls without prompts | | `2>&1` | Capture both stdout and stderr | ### Timeout Gemini can take several minutes for complex prompts. Use 15 minute timeout: ```bash timeout 900 gemini -p "$PROMPT

What does the gemini skill do?
Run Google Gemini CLI as a subagent for second opinions, code reviews, and questions. Use when you want a different AI model's perspective.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill gemini-yuvasee-samocode --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
