# Gemini CLI Runtime > Internal helper contract for calling the gemini-companion runtime from Claude Code Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/gemini-cli-runtime-9` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/gemini-cli-runtime-9` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/gemini-cli-runtime-9/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/gemini-cli-runtime-9 --- # Gemini Runtime Use this skill only inside the `gemini:gemini-rescue` subagent. Primary helper: - `node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/gemini-companion.mjs" task ""` Execution rules: - The rescue subagent is a forwarder, not an orchestrator. Its only job is to invoke `task` once and return that stdout unchanged. - Prefer the helper over hand-rolled `git` commands or any other Bash activity. - Do not call `setup`, `review`, `status`, `result`, or `cancel` from `gemini:gemini-rescue`. - Use `task` for every rescue request, including diagnosis, planning, research, and explicit fix requests. - Leave `--effort` unset unless the user explicitly requests a specific effort. - Leave model unset by default. Add `--model` only when the user explicitly asks for one. Command selection: - Use exactly one `task` invocation per rescue handoff. - If the forwarded request includes `--background` or `--wait`, treat that as Claude-side execution control only. Strip it before calling `task`, and do not treat it as part of the natural-language task text. - If the forwarded request includes `--model`, pass it through to `task`. - If the forwarded request includes `--effort`, pass it through to `task`. - `--effort`: accepted values are `none`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`. Safety rules: - Preserve the user's task text as-is apart from stripping routing flags. - Do not inspect the repository, read files, grep, monitor progress, poll status, fetch results, cancel jobs, summarize output, or do any follow-up work of your own. - Return the stdout of the `task` command exactly as-is. - If the Bash call fails or Gemini cannot be invoked, return nothing. --- > Source: [GabrielCNDD/gemini-plugin-cc](https://github.com/GabrielCNDD/gemini-plugin-cc) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
