What are the main modules and responsibilities?" gemini "@src/ @lib/ @utils/ What shared utilities and helper functions exist?" gemini "@src/ What naming conventions and coding standards are followed?" ``` ### Dependencies & Configuration ```bash gemini "@package.json @yarn.lock @src/ Analyze dependencies and their usage in code" gemini "@config/ @env/ @src/ How is configuration management implemented?" gemini "@Dockerfile @docker-compose.yml How is containerization configured?" ``` ## Debugging & Investigation Templates ### Bug Investigation ```bash gemini "@src/components/{component}/ @src/hooks/ Debug {specific_issue} in this component" gemini "@api/routes/{route}/ @middleware/ Investigate {issue} in this API endpoint" gemini "@src/store/ @src/hooks/ Debug state management issues with {feature}" ``` ### Performance Investigation ```bash gemini "@src/ @webpack.config.js Identify performance bottlenecks in build process" gemini "@src/components/ @src/hooks/ Find performance issues in React components" gemini "@api/ @database/ Identify database query performance issues" ``` ### Integration Analysis ```bash gemini "@frontend/ @backend/ How do frontend and backend communicate?" gemini "@src/api/ @services/ How are external services integrated?" gemini "@src/auth/ @api/auth/ How does authentication work across the application?" ``` ## Multi-Project Templates ### Monorepo Analysis ```bash gemini "@packages/ @apps/ Analyze this monorepo structure and dependencies" gemini "@lerna.json @package.json @packages/ How is the monorepo managed?" gemini "@packages/ What shared components and utilities exist across packages?" ``` ### Microservices Analysis ```bash gemini "@services/ @docker-compose.yml Analyze microservices architecture" gemini "@api-gateway/ @services/ How is service communication implemented?" gemini "@services/ @shared/ What shared code exists between services?" ``` ## Safety Command Templates ### Read-Only Analysis (Safest) ```bash gemini --approval-mode default "@{paths} {prompt}" ``` ### Auto-Edit Mode (Edit files automatically) ```bash gemini --approval-mode auto_edit "@{paths} {prompt}" ``` ### Sandbox Mode (Safe environment) ```bash gemini --sandbox "@{paths} {prompt}" ``` ## Command Construction Patterns ### Path Validation - Always validate paths exist before construction - Use relative paths from current working directory - Include trailing slash for directories: `@src/` - Specific files without slash: `@package.json` ### Prompt Construction - Be specific about what you want analyzed - Include context about the codebase/project type - Specify output format if needed (list, summary, detailed) - Ask for file paths in responses for follow-up ### Common Path Combinations - **Full Stack**: `@src/ @api/ @database/ @config/` - **Frontend Only**: `@src/ @public/ @package.json` - **Backend Only**: `@api/ @services/ @models/ @config/` - **Testing Focus**: `@src/ @tests/ @__tests__/ @cypress/` - **Documentation**: `@docs/ @README.md @CHANGELOG.md`
