name: gemini description: Interact with Google's Gemini model via CLI. Use when needing a second opinion from another LLM, cross-validation, or leveraging Gemini's Google Search grounding. Supports multi-turn conversations with session management.

Gemini CLI

Commands

New conversation (ask)

Copygemini "your prompt here" --output-format json 2>/dev/null

Response includes session_id for follow-up:

Copy{
  "session_id": "uuid-here",
  "response": "...",
  "stats": {...}
}

Continue conversation (reply)

Copygemini --resume <session_id> -p "follow-up prompt" --output-format json 2>/dev/null

Context from previous turns is preserved.

Examples

Copy# Ask Gemini for code review
gemini "Review this function for potential bugs: $(cat src/utils.ts)" --output-format json 2>/dev/null | jq '{session_id, response}'

# Follow up on the same session
gemini --resume abc123-def456 -p "How would you refactor it?" --output-format json 2>/dev/null | jq '{session_id, response}'

# Leverage Google Search grounding
gemini "What are the latest changes in TypeScript 5.8?" --output-format json 2>/dev/null | jq '{session_id, response}'

Notes

• Parse session_id from JSON response to enable reply
• Gemini automatically uses google_web_search when needed
• Image analysis: include file path in prompt, Gemini reads via read_file
