Setup: Gemini CLI

Prerequisites

Install

git clone https://github.com/yha9806/academic-writing-toolkit.git my-thesis
cd my-thesis
gemini

Skills are loaded from .agents/skills/ (symlinked to .claude/skills/).

Setup

After cloning, run:

make setup

This sets git config core.fileMode false (avoids mode-bit noise commits), regenerates AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md from CLAUDE.md, and runs make doctor to verify the environment.

If make doctor reports anything red, run make repair to fix what it can.

Verify

Ask Gemini: "What skills are available?"

You should see the public local agent skills listed in the skills guide, including evidence-review and release-governance.

Available Skills

Skill Purpose
read Guided reading with page-by-page PDF extraction
note Record structured reading notes
verify Fact-check claims against sources
map View literature coverage matrix
evidence-review Build evidence-controlled gap maps and claim registers
integrate Weave reading notes into chapter drafts
audit Pre-submission consistency check
release-governance Prepare release, rebuttal, artifact, and claim packets
style Check British English consistency
logic-review Review paragraph flow and transitions
verify-refs Check BibTeX records and metadata
progress Writing progress dashboard
export Export chapters to Word (.docx) and ZIP

Configuration

Gemini CLI reads GEMINI.md as its project instruction file, but GEMINI.md is auto-generated from CLAUDE.md (the canonical config). Edit CLAUDE.md to set your:

  • Word count targets per chapter
  • Reading pace limits
  • Directory paths for literature and chapters

Then run make sync to regenerate GEMINI.md from your changes.

Skill Discovery

Gemini CLI discovers skills from .agents/skills/*/SKILL.md. Each skill file is plain Markdown with trigger conditions, input/output specs, and step-by-step procedures.
