Gemini Prompting Guide

How to compose effective prompts for Gemini CLI in this plugin.

Core principle

Prompt Gemini like an operator — compact, block-structured with XML tags. One clear task per run. State what "done" looks like.

Default prompt recipe

Combine these blocks for most tasks:

<task>What to do. What done looks like.</task> <structured_output_contract>Format of the expected output.</structured_output_contract> <default_follow_through_policy>How to handle ambiguity.</default_follow_through_policy> <verification_loop>Self-check before finishing.</verification_loop> <grounding_rules>Only use visible context. No speculation.</grounding_rules>

When to add extra blocks

Situation

Add block

Writing/editing code

<action_safety>, <completeness_contract>

Code review

<operating_stance>, <finding_bar>, <calibration_rules>

Research/investigation

<research_mode>, <dig_deeper_nudge>, <citation_rules>

Long-running tasks

<progress_updates>

External tool calls

<tool_persistence_rules>, <missing_context_gating>

Gemini-specific advantages

Gemini's 1M context window can handle entire codebases — provide broad context.

Use --include-directories to focus on specific parts of the repo when needed.
