Gemini CLI Tool Mapping
Skills use Claude Code tool names. When you encounter these in a skill, use your platform equivalent:
| Skill references | Gemini CLI equivalent |
|---|---|
Read (file reading) |
read_file |
Write (file creation) |
write_file |
Edit (file editing) |
replace |
Bash (run commands) |
run_shell_command |
Grep (search file content) |
grep_search |
Glob (search files by name) |
glob |
TodoWrite (task tracking) |
write_todos |
Skill tool (invoke a skill) |
activate_skill |
WebSearch |
google_web_search |
WebFetch |
web_fetch |
Task tool (dispatch subagent) |
No equivalent — Gemini CLI does not support subagents |
No subagent support
Gemini CLI has no equivalent to Claude Code's Task tool. Skills that rely on subagent dispatch (subagent-driven-development, dispatching-parallel-agents) will fall back to single-session execution via executing-plans.
Additional Gemini CLI tools
These tools are available in Gemini CLI but have no Claude Code equivalent:
