# GeminiIgnore FinOps Setup & Optimization ## Overview A skill to construct, refine, and maintain high-performance `.geminiignore` files across diverse tech stacks. By filtering out machine-generated code, heavy logs, package locks, and binary assets, this skill optimizes the AI agent's context window, accelerates processing speed, and reduces token consumption costs (FinOps). ## When to Use This Skill - Use when initializing a new repository or workspace for pair-programming with AI agents. - Use when the AI context window is reaching its limits or when billing optimization (FinOps) is a priority. - Use when the AI agent is accidentally reading build outputs, lock files, databases, or binary media. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Analyze the Workspace Tech Stack Detect the languages, frameworks, and dependency managers present in the project (e.g., Node.js, Python, PHP, Dart/Flutter, Rust). ### Step 2: Initialize or Update the `.geminiignore` File Create a `.geminiignore` file at the root of the active workspace. If one already exists, review it to add missing categories. ### Step 3: Implement the 7 Core Rules Add rules divided into the following categories to filter out unnecessary m

What does the geminiignore-finops skill do?
Configure and optimize .geminiignore files for AI context window efficiency and token cost reduction (FinOps).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill geminiignore-finops --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
