Gemini CLI · Coding agent
Build a Gemini CLI trading bot with an algo team in your terminal.
Super Algo Kit adds an algo trading team to Gemini CLI, so you can build your own Gemini CLI trading bot in plain words. Gemini CLI reads the kit through GEMINI.md and AGENTS.md and its skills from .agents/skills. Type /algo-start to begin. The kit interviews you, builds and backtests with costs, and paper tests before any live step.
coding agent facts
Gemini CLI
- How to start
- Run Gemini CLI in your project folder and type /algo-start, or say Start Super Algo Kit.
- Where the files go
- GEMINI.md pointing to AGENTS.md, skills in .agents/skills, and a guard in .gemini/settings.json.
- Autostart
- No automatic start. Type /algo-start each session, and the kit resumes from your saved state.
- Guard
- A before-tool hook named super-algo-kit-guard. Gemini CLI asks you to allow it the first time, so say yes.
- Skill consent
- Gemini CLI asks for your consent the first time each skill runs.
- Voice input
- The guide points to your system's dictation, such as Win + H on Windows 11.
- Roles
- No Gemini-specific role files; AGENTS.md has the agent read each role file and work as that role.

Paper first
Super Algo Kit in Gemini CLI, step by step.
Super Algo Kit runs inside the coding agent you already use. It interviews you, writes the spec with pass marks set first, then builds, backtests and paper-tests. Real money starts only when you type the authorize command.

How does Super Algo Kit install in Gemini CLI?
The installer writes AGENTS.md and a short GEMINI.md that points to it, and copies the skills into .agents/skills. It merges its safety guard into .gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI warns you before a new project hook runs for the first time. Allow the one named super-algo-kit-guard.
What does a Gemini CLI session with the kit look like?
Type /algo-start. The kit gives three short lines on what it will and will not do, then asks one short question at a time.
Gemini CLI asks for consent the first time each skill runs, so expect a few prompts early on. You type each approval phrase yourself.
How do you build and test a trading bot in Gemini CLI?
After you approve the brief, the kit writes a strategy card and a spec with pass marks set first. It then builds the bot and runs cost-aware backtests with walk-forward checks.
Risk limits come from your own maximum loss, with a kill switch. A paper run comes before any live step.
What are the limits of Gemini CLI with the kit?
There is no automatic start, and the installer writes no Gemini-specific role files. AGENTS.md has the agent work as each role in turn and say which one it is.
For voice, the guide points to your system's dictation. Any plan for your AI tool is a separate cost from the kit.
Before you rely on it

- Allow the super-algo-kit-guard hook when Gemini CLI asks, or the guard will not run.

FAQ
Gemini CLI: questions.
Can Gemini CLI build a trading bot?
Yes. With Super Algo Kit installed, Gemini CLI follows the kit's stages from GEMINI.md and AGENTS.md: interview, spec, build, cost-aware backtest, risk limits and paper run. Agents never place live orders.
How do I start Super Algo Kit in Gemini CLI?
Run Gemini CLI inside your project folder and type /algo-start. If the command is not recognised, type Start Super Algo Kit.
Why does Gemini CLI ask me about a hook?
Gemini CLI warns before a new project hook runs for the first time. Super Algo Kit's safety guard is that hook, named super-algo-kit-guard. Allow it so the guard can block risky actions, such as an agent switching on live trading.
Does the kit also work with the Antigravity CLI?
Yes. Google's Antigravity CLI reads the same GEMINI.md and AGENTS.md files, and Super Algo Kit supports both. Your progress in .kit is shared between them.
Is Super Algo Kit affiliated with Google?
No. The Gemini CLI name is used only to say that Super Algo Kit works with it. There is no partnership or endorsement.
