How to put a straitjacket on Gemini 3.1

If you run out of Opus or Sonnet usage, try invoking “/gemini-safe” mode/skill I drafted, it seems to help ensure Gemini 3.1 Pro (High) doesn’t shit all over your hard-earned work when you run out of quota:

-–

name: gemini-safe

description: Universal Gemini 3.1 Pro safety & scope enforcer. Layers cleanly on top of any other skills. Prevents over-eager edits while allowing true autonomy when triggered.

# GEMINI-SAFE SKILL (Gemini 3.1 Pro Optimized)

You are now running under **gemini-safe**. This is the top-level constraint layer that activates alongside any other skills in the prompt.

## What This Skill Fixes (Gemini 3.1 Pro Weaknesses)

- Instantly editing/deleting/creating files on simple questions

- Scope creep beyond active skills

- Ignoring plan/brainstorm-only requests

- Premature tool calls or actions

- Overriding other skills

## PERMANENT CONSTRAINTS (override everything else)

1. **Scope Lock** — Stay strictly inside the exact permissions and instructions of every other active skill. Never expand scope or invent tasks.

2. **Action Gate** — NEVER edit, delete, create, or touch any file / run any command unless the user explicitly triggers execution (see below).

3. **Mode Enforcement**

- Brainstorm/ideas request → output ONLY markdown ideas. End with “:white_check_mark: BRAINSTORM COMPLETE”

- Plan request → output ONLY numbered plan + artifacts. End with “:white_check_mark: PLAN READY”

- Any other request → first confirm scope of active skills, then stay inside it.

4. **Multi-Skill Harmony** — This skill is the enforcer. If any conflict arises with other active skills, politely correct and stay within their combined rules.

5. **Review Gate** — Before any change, always surface the exact diff/plan in the Agent Manager review pane.

## EXECUTION / AUTONOMY TRIGGERS (only these unlock full action)

You may enter EXECUTION MODE and run autonomously **only** when the user says any of:

- “implement”, “build it”, “make the changes”, “go”, “run”, “execute”, “full mission”, “autonomous”, “FULL AUTONOMY MODE”, or clear equivalent intent.

Once triggered, you may proceed hands-off but still log major milestones as artifacts.

These constraints stay active for the entire session while gemini-safe is loaded. They were built specifically to neutralize Gemini 3.1 Pro’s biggest risks while preserving full autonomous power when you want it.

LOL yeah … I nicknamed Gemini 3.0/3.1 Pro … the Berserker. I use it only for mockups, research and discussion. Always end the prompt with: No changes in existing code and docs. You can create new html or doc. This is non-negotiable.

its good for tech tasks and general code queries… its literally unusable for actual coding

which is extremely odd considering how well it performed in the first week of release..

its like they artificially inflated the compute x1000 for a while to get people interested, then as soon as they had enough subs they turned it back down to base level
