Gemini CLI

Auth: Google account; free tier generous (around 1,000 requests/day at time of writing). Cost: free under the daily quota, per-token above. Output: plain text.

Install

See https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli. Authenticate via the gemini command’s standard flow.

Config entry

{
"id": "gemini",
"enabled": false,
"command": "gemini",
"args": ["-m", "{model}", "-p", "{prompt}"],
"prompt_via": "arg",
"model": "gemini-2.5-pro",
"result_path": null,
"timeout": 300,
"paid": true
}

Notes

  • result_path: null because Gemini CLI prints plain text by default.
  • paid: true is the safe default since heavy use exceeds the free tier. Flip to false if you’re confident your runs stay under quota.
  • Pick whichever Gemini model variant suits your latency vs. quality trade-off.
