Invokes Google Gemini models for structured outputs, image generation, text-to-speech narration, multi-modal tasks, and Google-specific features. Use when users request Gemini, image generation, Gemini TTS or a synthesized voice, structured JSON output, Google API integration, or cost-effective parallel processing.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Invoking Gemini

Delegate tasks to Google's Gemini models when they offer advantages over Claude.

## When to Use Gemini

**Image generation:**
- Blog header images, illustrations, diagrams
- Style-guided image creation (risograph, editorial, etc.)
- Text rendering in images

**Speech (TTS):**
- Narration, voice-over, read-aloud with style direction per line
- A custom voice designed from a written description
- Two-speaker dialogue

**Structured outputs:**
- JSON Schema validation with property ordering guarantees
- Pydantic model compliance
- Strict schema adherence (enum values, required fields)

**Cost optimization:**
- Parallel batch processing (Gemini 3 Flash is lightweight)
- High-volume simple tasks

**Multi-modal tasks:**
- Image analysis with JSON output
- Video processing
- Audio transcription with structure

## Setup

```bash
uv pip install requests pydantic
```

**Credentials — Option A (recommended): Cloudflare AI Gateway**

Source `/mnt/project/proxy.env` with `CF_ACCOUNT_ID`, `CF_GATEWAY_ID`, `CF_API_TOKEN`.
Requests route through Cloudflare AI Gateway, bypassing IP blocks. Google API key stored in gateway via BYOK.

**Credentials — Option B: Direct Google API**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/invoking-gemini@sha256:a19e6e6179d4f57b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.9.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
