Ask Gemini

Send a question or task to Gemini and return a research-backed response. Gemini is always instructed to perform web research via Google Search, making this ideal for deep-research tasks that benefit from up-to-date internet information.

How to Use

Do not pass free-form user text to the shell unquoted. The question or task may contain spaces or shell metacharacters such as (, ), ;, #, *, or [.

If the user only supplied a question or task, execute:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ask-gemini.sh" "$ARGUMENTS"

If the user supplied flags such as --gemini-model or --gemini-timeout, reconstruct the command so those flags remain separate shell arguments and the remaining free-form question is passed as one quoted final argument.

Example:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ask-gemini.sh" --gemini-model gemini-2.5-pro "What are the latest Rust async runtime benchmarks?"

Never run this unsafe form:

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/ask-gemini.sh" $ARGUMENTS

because the shell will re-parse the question text and can fail before ask-gemini.sh starts.

Interpreting Output

• The script outputs Gemini's response to stdout and status info to stderr
• Read the stdout output carefully and incorporate Gemini's response into your answer
• Gemini's responses are research-backed with web sources; relay source citations when available
• If the script exits with a non-zero code, report the error to the user

Error Handling

Notes

• The response is saved to .humanize/skill/<timestamp>/output.md for reference
• Default model is gemini-3.1-pro-preview with a 3600-second timeout
• Gemini is always instructed to perform Google Search for up-to-date information
