# Gemini CLI
Interact w/ Google's Gemini CLI locally. Run queries, get responses, compare outputs.
## Prerequisites
Gemini CLI must be installed & configured:
1. **Install:** https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli
2. **Auth:** Run `gemini` & sign in w/ Google account
3. **Verify:** `gemini --version`
## When to Use
- User asks to "run/ask/use gemini"
- Compare Claude vs Gemini responses
- Get second AI opinion
- Delegate task to Gemini
## Usage
**IMPORTANT:** Use `-p` flag for non-interactive (headless) one-shot queries. Without `-p`, gemini opens interactive mode which hangs in automation.
```bash
# One-shot query (MUST use -p for non-interactive)
gemini -p "Your prompt"
# Specific model
gemini -p "prompt" -m gemini-3-pro
# JSON output
gemini -p "prompt" -o json
# YOLO mode (auto-approve tool use)
gemini -y -p "prompt"
# File analysis
cat file.txt | gemini -p "Analyze this"
```
## Models (Gemini 3+ only)
| Model | Use case |
|-------|----------|
| `gemini-3-pro` | Default, best all-round |
| `gemini-3-flash` | Fast, lightweight tasks |
Omit `-m` to use the CLI default (latest stable).
## CLI Options
| Flag | Desc |
|------|------|
| `-p` | **Required for headless.** Non-interactive prompt |
| `-m` | Model selection |
| `-o` | Output: text/json/stream-json |
| `-y` | Auto-approve all actions (YOLO) |
| `-d` | Debug mode |
| `-s` | Sandbox mode |
| `-r` | Resume session |
| `-i` | Execute prompt then continue interactive |
