Claude Code: Delegate tasks to Google Gemini agent

Delegate a coding task to Google Gemini agent for autonomous execution

You are delegating a coding task to Gemini CLI. Gemini will analyze and execute the task.

Your Task

1. Identify the task from conversation context
2. Read CLAUDE.md and inject context directly into the prompt
3. Execute Gemini and report results

Step 1: Identify the Task from Context

Review the conversation history and identify:

• What coding task does the user want accomplished?
• What files/areas of the codebase are involved?
• What does "done" look like?

Restate the task clearly. If unclear, ask the user to clarify.

Step 2: Gather Context

1. Read CLAUDE.md if it exists - extract relevant project context
2. Use Read/Grep/Glob to find relevant code patterns
3. Note any conventions or styles to follow

Step 3: Formulate Task for Gemini

Write a detailed task specification that INCLUDES the CLAUDE.md context directly:

# Project Context
[Paste relevant sections from CLAUDE.md here]

# Task
[Clear description based on conversation context]

# Relevant Files
[List key files Gemini should know about]

# Requirements
- [specific requirement 1]
- [specific requirement 2]

# Success Criteria
- [how to know it's done correctly]

Please analyze this task and provide:
1. Your implementation approach
2. The code changes needed
3. Any risks or considerations

Do NOT:

• Tell Gemini how to implement (let it decide)
• Over-constrain the solution

DO:

• Include CLAUDE.md context directly in the prompt
• Be specific about requirements
• State clear success criteria

Step 4: Execute Gemini

Run Gemini with your formulated task using a heredoc for shell safety:

gemini <<'EOF'
YOUR_TASK_WITH_CONTEXT_HERE
EOF

Alternative if heredoc fails:

gemini "YOUR_TASK_WITH_CONTEXT_HERE"

Step 5: Apply Changes (if applicable)

If Gemini provides code changes:

1. Review the suggested changes
2. Use Edit/Write tools to apply them
3. Run any relevant tests or builds

Step 6: Report Results

Delegation Report

• Any issues encountered?

Follow-up Needed

• Any remaining tasks
• Things to review

Error Handling

If Gemini fails with auth error:

Please set GEMINI_API_KEY in your environment:
  export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
  # Add to ~/.zshrc for persistence

If Gemini times out or returns partial output, report what was received and suggest retry.

Important

• YOU identify the task from conversation context
• Inject CLAUDE.md content DIRECTLY into the prompt
• Unlike Codex, Gemini doesn't auto-apply changes - YOU must apply them
• If Gemini fails, report what happened and suggest fixes
