gemini-qa

Gemini CLI must be installed:

```bash

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/gemini-cli

# or follow installation at https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli

```

Authentication must be configured (Google API key or Application Default Credentials).

Spawn the gemini-qa subagent to handle the question:

```

Use the Task tool to spawn the gemini-qa agent with the user's question.

```

The subagent will:

1. Formulate a clear prompt for Gemini
2. Run gemini -p "question" in headless mode
3. Return Gemini's response

If you prefer to run Gemini directly:

```bash

gemini -p "your question here"

# or

gemini "your question here"

```

Command Options

• Basic query: gemini -p "question"
• Positional: gemini "question"
• Pipe input: cat file.txt | gemini -p "summarize this"
• JSON output: gemini -p "question" --output-format json
• File reference: gemini -p "@src/file.ts explain this"

File References with @

Gemini supports @ syntax to include file context:

```bash

# Reference a specific file

gemini -p "@src/auth.ts Explain this module"

# Reference a directory

gemini -p "@src/ Summarize all code here"

```

• Code explanation: "What does this function do?"
• Architecture questions: "How is the database layer structured?"
• Finding patterns: "Where is error handling implemented?"
• Code review: "Review this file for potential issues"
• Comparison: Get a second opinion on a code question

• Use -p flag for headless (non-interactive) mode
• Gemini is git-aware and respects .gitignore for directory references
• For complex questions, use the subagent for better context isolation
