gemini-manager

The gemini-manager skill transforms your development workflow by positioning Claude Code exclusively as a technical architect and manager, while offloading all implementation duties to the Gemini CLI. In this paradigm, Claude Code acts as the intelligent overseer that parses requirements, performs codebase analysis via Read and Grep, structures tasks into logical phases, and provides precise, atomic instructions to the Gemini CLI intern. This separation of concerns ensures that your codebase remains structured according to your high-level design, while Gemini handles the tactical heavy lifting of writing code and applying changes.

• Pure architectural focus: Claude Code strictly avoids writing code or editing files, ensuring it remains focused on planning, context gathering, and verification.

• Automated intern-style delegation: Issues direct, forceful instructions to Gemini CLI using --yolo mode to enforce immediate implementation without conversational friction.

• Rigorous verification loop: Implements a cycle of instruction, execution, review, and correction to ensure Gemini output meets high quality standards.

• Anti-pattern management: Includes built-in mechanisms to catch and correct common model behaviors such as over-engineering, scope creep, copy-paste errors, and security oversights.

• Context-aware tasking: Uses Grep, Glob, and Read tools to analyze file dependencies and project requirements before generating instructions for Gemini.

• Best for: Developers who want to treat the AI as a project manager, or for complex refactoring tasks requiring high-level strategic oversight.

• Workflow control: The agent manages everything from the initial feature implementation to bug fixes, security reviews, and unit test creation.

• Error handling: If the intern fails or hits rate limits, the manager detects the failure, analyzes the logs, and issues corrective instructions.

• Interaction triggers: Optimized for intents such as 'architect mode', 'manage gemini', 'drive gemini', or 'delegate implementation'.

• Constraints: Requires Gemini CLI installed in the environment; all code modification happens through the Gemini tool interface. Claude ensures the process concludes only when it is fully satisfied with the output.
