Gemini Query

Gemini Query Command

Execute a quick headless query to Gemini CLI and display the response.

Usage

/google-ecosystem:gemini-query <prompt>

Examples

• /google-ecosystem:gemini-query What is the capital of France?
• /google-ecosystem:gemini-query Explain async/await in JavaScript
• /google-ecosystem:gemini-query Review this error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'x' of undefined

Execution

Run the query using Gemini CLI headless mode:

result=$(gemini "$ARGUMENTS" --output-format json 2>&1)

Output

Parse and present the response:

1. Response: The main AI-generated content from .response
2. Stats: Token usage, model used, latency from .stats
3. Errors: Any error messages from .error

Response Extraction

# Extract response
response=$(echo "$result" | jq -r '.response // "No response"')

# Extract stats
tokens=$(echo "$result" | jq '.stats.models | to_entries | map(.value.tokens.total) | add // 0')
cached=$(echo "$result" | jq '.stats.models | to_entries | map(.value.tokens.cached) | add // 0')
models=$(echo "$result" | jq -r '.stats.models | keys | join(", ") | if . == "" then "unknown" else . end')
latency=$(echo "$result" | jq '.stats.models | to_entries | map(.value.api.totalLatencyMs) | add // 0')

# Check for errors
error=$(echo "$result" | jq -r '.error.message // empty')

Format Output

Present the results in a clean format:

## Gemini Response

{response}

---
**Stats**: {tokens} tokens ({cached} cached) | Model: {models} | Latency: {latency}ms

If there's an error:

## Error

**Type**: {error_type}
**Message**: {error_message}

Notes

• Uses --output-format json for structured parsing
• Displays both response and usage statistics
• Handles errors gracefully with helpful messages
