Gemini Search Skill

Purpose
Leverage Gemini CLI's built-in Google Search grounding to fetch real-time web information, validate current best practices, and access the latest documentation - capabilities Claude Code doesn't have natively.
Unique Capability
What Claude Code Can't Do: Claude Code's knowledge has a cutoff date and cannot access real-time web information during analysis. Gemini CLI has built-in Google Search integration that grounds responses in current web content with citations.
When to Use
Perfect For:
✅ Checking latest API documentation ✅ Finding current library versions and changelogs ✅ Validating best practices against current standards ✅ Researching breaking changes in dependencies ✅ Comparing current technology options ✅ Finding solutions to recent issues ✅ Checking security advisories and CVEs ✅ Verifying current framework conventions
Don't Use When:
❌ Information is in your local codebase (use Claude Code) ❌ Need deep implementation logic (use Claude Code) ❌ Question doesn't require current web information ❌ Working with proprietary/internal systems
How It Works
This skill spawns a Gemini Search Agent that:
- Uses Gemini CLI's
@searchtool or built-in Google Search grounding - Fetches current web content with citations
- Grounds analysis in real-time information
- Returns findings with source URLs to Claude Code
Usage
Basic Search
/gemini-search
With Specific Query
/gemini-search "What are the breaking changes in React 19?"
Detailed Research
/gemini-search "Compare authentication approaches for Next.js 15 apps with latest security best practices"
Input Examples
# API Documentation
/gemini-search "Latest Stripe API authentication methods 2025"
# Breaking Changes
/gemini-search "What changed in Python 3.13 that would break my code?"
# Best Practices
/gemini-search "Current best practices for securing Node.js REST APIs"
# Version Information
/gemini-search "Is TensorFlow 2.16 stable? What are known issues?"
# Framework Conventions
/gemini-search "How should I structure a Next.js 15 app directory?"
# Security Research
/gemini-search "Recent vulnerabilities in Express.js and mitigation strategies"
# Technology Comparison
/gemini-search "Compare Prisma vs Drizzle ORM for TypeScript projects 2025"
Output
The agent provides:
- Direct Answer: Response to your query
- Source Citations: URLs where information was found
- Current Status: What's latest/stable/recommended
- Key Findings: Bullet points of important info
- Recommendations: Based on current web consensus
- Related Resources: Links to docs, guides, discussions
Real-World Examples
Example 1: API Changes
Query: "What changed in OpenAI API v2?"
Agent searches and returns:
- New endpoint structure with examples
- Deprecated methods and replacements
- Migration guide links
- Breaking changes to watch for
- Source: Official OpenAI docs + dev discussions
Example 2: Security Advisory
Query: "Are there security issues with lodash 4.17.20?"
Agent searches and returns:
- CVE-2020-8203 prototype pollution vulnerability
- Affected versions: < 4.17.21
- Severity: High
- Fix: Upgrade to 4.17.21 or higher
- Sources: npm advisory, Snyk, GitHub issues
Example 3: Framework Best Practices
Query: "How should I handle authentication in Next.js 15?"
Agent searches and returns:
- Recommended approaches (NextAuth.js, Clerk, Auth.js)
- App router vs pages router differences
- Server components considerations
- Code examples from official docs
- Sources: Next.js docs, Vercel guides, community tutorials
