asking-gemini
Architecture advice, design trade-offs, brainstorming, comparing approaches via Gemini. Use when user asks about architecture decisions, system design, design patterns, trade-offs analysis, brainstorming ideas, comparing options, or creative problem-solving. Supports SCAMPER, design thinking, divergent/convergent thinking methodologies. Do not use for web searches or shell commands.
Best use case
asking-gemini is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

# Gemini Consultation Spawn the **gemini-consultant** agent for architecture and design questions. ## Foreground (blocking) ``` Task(subagent_type="gemini-consultant", prompt="[mode]: <question>") ``` ## Background (for context efficiency) ``` Task(subagent_type="gemini-consultant", prompt="[mode]: <question>", run_in_background=true) ``` Use `TaskOutput(task_id="<id>")` to retrieve results. **Modes:** prompt (default), brainstorm, review, compare **Brainstorming Methodologies:** - `divergent` - Generate many diverse ideas - `convergent` - Refine and evaluate existing ideas - `scamper` - Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, Reverse - `design-thinking` - Human-centered, empathy-driven approach - `lateral` - Unexpected connections, challenge assumptions - `auto` - AI selects best methodology The agent uses Gemini MCP tools (`mcp__gemini__gemini`, `mcp__gemini__brainstorm`) directly.

simple-gemini
Collaborative documentation and test code writing workflow using zen mcp's clink to launch gemini CLI session in WSL (via 'gemini' command) where all writing operations are executed. Use this skill when the user requests "use gemini to write test files", "use gemini to write documentation", "generate related test files", "generate an explanatory document", or similar document/test writing tasks. The gemini CLI session acts as the specialist writer, working with the main Claude model for context gathering, outline approval, and final review. For test code, codex CLI (also launched via clink) validates quality after gemini completes writing.
