Read Temp File Skill

This skill allows you to safely read files from the project's temporary directory temp/, bypassing standard git-ignore restrictions.

Instructions

When you need to read a file from the temp/ directory (e.g., to verify the content of a generated issue description):

  1. Do NOT use the read_file tool. It will fail for ignored files.
  2. Instead, use the runshellcommand tool to execute the helper script.
  3. Command format: python3 .gemini/skills/read-temp-file/scripts/readtempfile.py <file_path>

Example

To read temp/ghissues/issuedescription.md:

python3 .gemini/skills/read-temp-file/scripts/read_temp_file.py temp/gh_issues/issue_description.md

Constraints

  • The file must be inside the temp/ directory.
  • The file must not be binary.
  • The file must not exceed 2000 lines.
