Call the Gemini API from the shell with Google's `gemini-api` CLI, when that binary is installed — text and reasoning, image generation and editing, text-to-speech, music, video, document/audio/video/YouTube analysis, transcription and captions, file uploads, and managed agents (Deep Research) run in the background. Use when the task needs a Gemini model or a second opinion from one, a generated image/voiceover/soundtrack/clip, an answer out of a PDF or recording, an SRT caption file, or a…
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
# Gemini API from the shell `gemini-api` is Google's single-binary CLI for the Gemini Interactions API. Each invocation does one thing and returns either text on stdout or a file path on disk. Verified command details, output shapes, and gotchas: `references/cli.md`. ## Preflight (once per session, before the first call) `gemini-api whoami` prints the config file, the credential source, and the active defaults. If it reports no API key, stop and ask the user to set one — never guess at a key or edit their config. The persistent form is `gemini-api configure --api-key "..."`, which writes to the OS keychain; `GEMINI_API_KEY` in the environment also works. If the binary is missing, say so and offer to install it from <https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-api-cli> (`install.sh`, or `go install github.com/google-gemini/gemini-api-cli/cmd/gemini-api@latest`). Do not pipe an install script into a shell without the user agreeing first, and do not hand-roll `curl` calls against the REST API as a substitute. The CLI is beta and the Interactions API moves fast. When a flag in this skill is rejected, trust the binary: run `--help` on that command and adapt. ## The discovery loop …

How to install
mdr add sanjay3290/ai-skills/gemini-api@sha256:254be6564a280f37The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, 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.
