Does this skill support the Gemini free tier?

Absolutely. It includes full setup instructions for Google OAuth which provides access to the Gemini free tier with up to 1,000 requests per day.

Is it safe to store my Gemini API key with this skill?

Yes, the skill provides best-practice implementation patterns for using environment variables, system keychains, and encrypted password managers like 'pass' to avoid hardcoding keys.

How do I switch between personal and work Gemini accounts?

You can use the multi-account management scripts to toggle between OAuth for personal use, API keys for specific projects, and Vertex AI service accounts for enterprise work.

What happens when I hit Gemini rate limits?

The skill includes specialized workflow scripts that implement exponential backoff, automatically retrying requests after a delay to handle rate limits gracefully.
