Write a GEMINI.md for this project · context
Read this repository and write a GEMINI.md at its root, the context file Gemini CLI loads at the start of every session. Keep it brief: - How to run, test and build, with exact commands - Where the important code lives - Conventions and rules that are easy to miss - Things never to do in this repo Leave out anything the code already makes obvious.
Review my changes before I commit · debugging
Review the uncommitted changes in this repository as a careful senior engineer would. For each problem, give the file and line, what goes wrong, and a concrete scenario that triggers it. Focus on bugs, security and missing edge cases; skip style nitpicks. If you find nothing serious, say so plainly.
Sketch or screenshot to layout · design
I am attaching [a sketch / a screenshot]. Turn it into a responsive layout for [the page] using this project's components. Before writing code, describe the structure you see: sections, hierarchy, what repeats. Then build it mobile first. Call out anything the image does not show — hover states, empty states, errors — instead of making it up.
Map a codebase you just inherited · planning
I am new to this codebase. Read all of it, then give me: 1. What the app does, in three sentences 2. The main parts, and how a request flows through them 3. The five files I should read first, and why 4. Anything that looks risky, unfinished or inconsistent Cite a file path for every claim so I can check it.

Why your AI keeps forgetting what you told it
