SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill lets you consult Gemini as a local external advisor without routing through MCP, making it easy to get fast brainstorming, design feedback, and second opinions while keeping execution on your machine.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local-first execution: Uses the installed Gemini CLI as the default path for direct prompts.
  • Fallback guidance: Clearly explains what to do when the Gemini binary is missing instead of silently changing routing behavior.
  • Reusable audit artifact: Saves a markdown record of the original task, the exact prompt sent, the raw output, a concise summary, and next steps.
  • Use case: Ask for architecture feedback, implementation ideas, or a sanity check on a plan and keep a permanent local artifact of the exchange.

Quick Start

Ask this skill to run Gemini locally for your question and save the resulting artifact.
