What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Delegate long-context analysis, research, and large-document summarization to Google Gemini CLI (1M-token context) via non-interactive `gemini -p`, preserving Claude context. Use when the user says 'use gemini'/'hand off to gemini' or a task needs 100K+ tokens of context.

Handoff to Gemini CLI
Delegate tasks to Google Gemini CLI to save Claude context.
When to Use Gemini
| Use Gemini For | Keep in Claude |
|---|---|
| Long document analysis | Complex coding |
| Multimodal tasks | Architecture decisions |
| Research and summarization | Multi-step workflows |
| Large file comprehension | Problem analysis |
Prerequisites
# Install Gemini CLI (Google)
npm install -g @google/gemini-cli
# Or via: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli
Handoff Process
1. Prepare Context
## Task for Gemini
**Goal**: [What needs to be done]
**Files**: [Which files to analyze]
**Output**: [What format to return]
2. Generate Command
Pass the prompt with -p (non-interactive). Reference files or directories inline with @<path>, or pipe content via stdin. There is no -f flag.
# Analyze a directory (@ reads it recursively)
gemini -p "Summarize the components in @src/"
# Research task (no file context)
gemini -p "Research best practices for [topic]"
# Document analysis (single file via @)
gemini -p "Extract key points from @docs/spec.md"
# Large or generated context via stdin
cat docs/spec.md | gemini -p "Extract key points"
Note: A
src/**/*.ts-style glob only expands if the shell has globstar enabled (shopt -s globstarin bash). Prefer a directory reference like@src/, which Gemini reads recursively without relying on shell globbing.
3. Provide Instructions
- Why Gemini is suitable
- Expected output
- How to continue workflow
Example
## Task: Research API Best Practices
**Command:**
gemini -p "Research REST API versioning strategies. Summarize pros/cons."
**After:**
- Review research
- Share relevant findings
- Implement chosen strategy
Benefits
- Token Savings: Research tasks don't consume Claude context
- Long Context: Handles very large documents
- Specialization: Use each AI's strengths
