Gemini CLI Documentation Operations

Manage the Gemini CLI documentation lifecycle through a single consolidated skill.

Argument Routing

| Action | Description | |--------|-------------| | scrape | Scrape documentation from geminicli.com llms.txt, then refresh and validate | | validate | Validate index integrity and detect drift (read-only) | | refresh | Refresh index from filesystem without scraping | | rebuild-index | Clear and immediately rebuild the search index | | clear-cache | Clear the search cache (lazy rebuild on next search) |

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the action. The first token is the action keyword. Remaining tokens are passed as options to the action handler.

---

Action: scrape

Scrape all documentation from the configured sources (geminicli.com llms.txt).

Steps

1. Run the scraping script with parallel processing:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/core/scrape_all_sources.py" --parallel --skip-existing

2. After scraping completes, rebuild the index:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/rebuild_index.py"

3. Verify the index:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/manage_index.py" verify

Report the results of each step.

---

Action: validate

Run validation checks on the documentation index without making any modifications.

Steps

1. Run index verification:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/manage_index.py" verify

2. Run full validation with summary:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/validation/validate_index_vs_docs.py" --summary-only

3. Report document count:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/manage_index.py" count

Report the results of each validation step, highlighting any issues found.

---

Action: refresh

Refresh the local index without re-scraping from the web. Use this when you've manually modified documentation files or need to rebuild the index.

Steps

1. Rebuild the index from filesystem:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/rebuild_index.py"

2. Verify the index integrity:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/manage_index.py" verify

3. Report the document count:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/management/manage_index.py" count

Report the results of each step.

---

Action: rebuild-index

Clear and immediately rebuild the gemini-cli-docs search index. This is faster than clear-cache + waiting for next search because it triggers the rebuild immediately.

When to Use

• After manually editing index.yaml or documentation files
• When search results seem stale or incorrect
• After a git pull with documentation changes
• When you need search working immediately

Difference from clear-cache

| Action | Behavior | Search Availability | |--------|----------|---------------------| | clear-cache | Clears cache only | Rebuild on next search (lazy) | | rebuild-index | Clears + rebuilds | Immediate (eager) |

Options

• No options: Show plan and ask for confirmation
• --force: Skip confirmation and rebuild immediately

Instructions

This action clears the Gemini CLI documentation search cache and immediately rebuilds the index.

Check Current Status

First, check the current cache state. Report whether the cache exists, is valid, and when it was last built.

Request Confirmation

Unless the user passed --force, show a rebuild plan with the current cache state and ask for confirmation before proceeding. Explain that rebuilding takes a few seconds and search will be unavailable during the rebuild.

Clear and Rebuild

Once confirmed (or if --force was passed):

1. Clear the cache using the cache_manager.py --clear command
2. Rebuild the index using rebuild_index.py
3. Verify the rebuild succeeded using manage_index.py verify

Report Results

Report the new index statistics including document count and build time. Confirm that search is now available.

## Index Rebuilt

Successfully rebuilt Gemini CLI documentation search index.

**New index stats:**
- Documents: X
- Build time: Xms

**Search is now available.**

Error Handling

• Plugin not installed: Report "google-ecosystem plugin not found."
• Rebuild failed: Report error from script
• Permission denied: Report with remediation steps

---

Action: clear-cache

Clear the gemini-cli-docs search cache (inverted index). This forces the index to rebuild on the next documentation search.

When to Use

• After manually editing index.yaml or documentation files
• When search results seem stale or incorrect
• After a git pull with documentation changes
• To free up disk space

Options

• No options: Show what will be cleared and ask for confirmation
• --force: Skip confirmation and clear immediately

Step 1: Parse Options

Check if --force flag is present.

force_mode = "--force" in arguments (case-insensitive)

Step 2: Locate Cache Directory

The gemini-cli-docs cache is located at:

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/.cache/

Or via installed path:

~/.claude/plugins/cache/<marketplace>/google-ecosystem/<version>/skills/gemini-cli-docs/.cache/

Step 3: Check Cache Status

List the cache files:

| File | Purpose | |------|---------| | inverted_index.json | Search index | | cache_version.json | Hash-based validity tracking |

If cache directory doesn't exist or is empty, report: "Cache already clear. Nothing to do."

Step 4: Confirmation (unless --force)

If NOT force_mode, present the cache clear plan:

## Cache Clear Plan

**Target:** Gemini CLI documentation search index

| File | Size |
|------|------|
| inverted_index.json | X.X MB |
| cache_version.json | 512 bytes |

**Total:** X.X MB

> **Note:** The search index will rebuild automatically on the next documentation search.
> For immediate rebuild, use the `rebuild-index` action after clearing.

**Proceed?** Reply "yes" to continue, or use `--force` to skip this confirmation.

Step 5: Clear Cache

Use the cache_manager.py script to clear:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/scripts/utils/cache_manager.py" --clear

Or manually delete the cache files:

rm -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/.cache/inverted_index.json"
rm -f "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gemini-cli-docs/.cache/cache_version.json"

Step 6: Report Success

## Cache Cleared

Successfully cleared Gemini CLI documentation search cache.

**Cleared:**
- inverted_index.json
- cache_version.json

**Next steps:**
- Search index will rebuild automatically on next search
- Or use `rebuild-index` action to rebuild immediately

Error Handling

• Cache not found: Report "Cache already clear or plugin not installed."
• Permission denied: Report "Permission denied. Try running with elevated privileges."
• Plugin not installed: Report "google-ecosystem plugin not found."
