Ask Gemini

gemini --version
When to Use
- Want a second opinion on code quality
- Need architectural review
- Comparing implementation approaches
- Code review before commit
How to Invoke
The user will ask something like:
- "ask gemini what it thinks about this code"
- "get gemini's opinion on this approach"
- "demande à gemini de reviewer ce fichier"
Execution
For file review
gemini "Review this code and provide 3 specific improvements: $(cat <file_path>)"
For architectural questions
gemini "<user's question about architecture or approach>"
For comparing approaches
gemini "Compare these two approaches and recommend which is better: Approach A: <desc> vs Approach B: <desc>"
Output Format
Present Gemini's response clearly to the user. If Gemini suggests improvements, summarize them as actionable items.
Examples
File review
User: "demande à gemini ce qu'il pense du semantic-skill-router.py"
gemini "Review this Python script for a semantic routing system. List 3 improvements for production use: $(cat scripts/semantic-skill-router.py)"
Architecture question
User: "ask gemini if I should use Redis or in-memory cache"
gemini "Compare Redis vs in-memory caching for a CLI tool that routes user prompts. Consider: startup time, complexity, persistence needs."
Troubleshooting
