What performance metrics does the skill display?

The skill provides a summary of total tokens used, cached tokens, the specific Gemini model version that responded, and the total API latency in milliseconds.

Can I use this for code reviews?

Absolutely. By passing code snippets or error logs as the prompt argument, you can get a secondary analysis from Gemini to compare with Claude's internal suggestions.

How does the skill handle API errors?

The skill captures stderr and JSON error objects from the Gemini CLI, presenting them in a formatted error block that identifies the error type and message for easier troubleshooting.

Do I need the Gemini CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill acts as a bridge to the Gemini CLI. You must have the CLI installed and authenticated on your system for the commands to execute.
