3D hand
Gib doubled 2NT for minors suggesting penalty.
Should Gib then do a penalty double when opps bid Gibs suit diamonds?
Or am I supposed to double because I have clubs so Gib must have diamonds?

As I have said main times, it will save much sanity if you just accept that GIB does not play or understand penalty doubles.

Doubles are for takeout through 7NT.

Fixed your post. :)

Takeout doubles have their own long list of problems that have been around for years. :(
