It is recommended to use pipx run pre-commit instead of pipx install pre-commit. This ensures that the tool is run in an ephemeral environment with its latest version (or a specific version) without needing to permanently install it in the user's environment. This is cleaner and more in line with temporary usage patterns for pre-commit.

Currently, GEMINI.md mentions:

This can be done by running pre-commit install in your local repository.

It might be better to suggest pipx run pre-commit install or similar for users who don't want to install pre-commit globally.
