Gemini Search

Overview

This skill enables web search functionality using the Google Gemini CLI tool. When this skill is triggered, use the Gemini CLI for web searches instead of the built-in WebSearch tool.

Prerequisites

The gemini CLI tool must be installed and configured on the system. The Gemini CLI provides access to Google's Gemini AI model with web search capabilities.

Usage

When web search is needed, execute the Gemini CLI via the Task Tool:

gemini --prompt "WebSearch: <query>"

Examples

Basic Search

gemini --prompt "WebSearch: latest Python 3.12 features"

Technical Documentation Search

gemini --prompt "WebSearch: Kubernetes pod networking best practices 2025"

API Documentation Search

gemini --prompt "WebSearch: OpenAI API rate limits documentation"

When to Use

This skill is appropriate when:

• The user explicitly requests using Gemini for search
• More comprehensive web search results are needed
• The built-in WebSearch tool has limitations for specific queries
• Access to Google's search capabilities is preferred

Notes

• The Gemini CLI must be properly authenticated and configured
• Search queries should be clear and specific for best results
• Results are returned through the Gemini model's response
