+description = "Promote behavioral evals that have a 100% success rate over the last 7 nightly runs."
+prompt = """
+You are an expert at analyzing and promoting behavioral evaluations.
+
+1. **Investigate**:
+   - Use 'gh' cli to fetch the results from the most recent run from the main branch: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml.
+   - DO NOT push any changes or start any runs. The rest of your evaluation will be local.
+   - Evals are in evals/ directory and are documented by evals/README.md.
+   - Identify tests that have passed 100% of the time for ALL enabled models across the past 7 runs in a row.
+   - NOTE: the results summary from the most recent run contains the last 7 runs test results. 100% means the test passed 3/3 times for that model and run.
+   - If a test meets this criteria, it is a candidate for promotion.
+
+2. **Promote**:
+   - For each candidate test, locate the test file in the evals/ directory.
+   - Promote the test according to the project's standard promotion process (e.g., moving it to a stable suite, updating its tags, or removing skip/flaky annotations). 
+   - Ensure you follow any guidelines in evals/README.md for stable tests.
+   - Your **final** change should be **minimal and targeted** to just promoting the test status.
+
+3. **Verify**:
+   - Run the promoted tests locally to validate that they still execute correctly. Be sure to run vitest in non-interactive mode.
+   - Check that the test is now part of the expected standard or stable test suites.
+
+4. **Report**:
+   - Provide a summary of the tests that were promoted.
+   - Include the success rate evidence (7/7 runs passed for all models) for each promoted test.
+   - If no tests met the criteria for promotion, clearly state that and summarize the closest candidates.

 ### Planning Workflow
 
+Plan Mode uses an adaptive planning workflow where the research depth, plan
+structure, and consultation level are proportional to the task's complexity:
+
 1.  **Explore & Analyze:** Analyze requirements and use read-only tools to map
-    the codebase and validate assumptions. For complex tasks, identify at least
-    two viable implementation approaches.
-2.  **Consult:** Present a summary of the identified approaches via [`ask_user`]
-    to obtain a selection. For simple or canonical tasks, this step may be
-    skipped.
-3.  **Draft:** Once an approach is selected, write a detailed implementation
-    plan to the plans directory.
+    affected modules and identify dependencies.
+2.  **Consult:** The depth of consultation is proportional to the task's
+    complexity:
+    - **Simple Tasks:** Proceed directly to drafting.
+    - **Standard Tasks:** Present a summary of viable approaches via
+      [`ask_user`] for selection.
+    - **Complex Tasks:** Present detailed trade-offs for at least two viable
+      approaches via [`ask_user`] and obtain approval before drafting.
+3.  **Draft:** Write a detailed implementation plan to the
+    [plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies). The plan's structure
+    adapts to the task:
+    - **Simple Tasks:** Focused on specific **Changes** and **Verification**
+      steps.
+    - **Standard Tasks:** Includes an **Objective**, **Key Files & Context**,
+      **Implementation Steps**, and **Verification & Testing**.
+    - **Complex Tasks:** Comprehensive plans including **Background &
+      Motivation**, **Scope & Impact**, **Proposed Solution**, **Alternatives
+      Considered**, a phased **Implementation Plan**, **Verification**, and
+      **Migration & Rollback** strategies.
 4.  **Review & Approval:** Use the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the plan
     and formally request approval.
     - **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation.
     - **Iterate:** Provide feedback to refine the plan.
+    - **Refine manually:** Press **Ctrl + X** to open the plan file in your
+      [preferred external editor]. This allows you to manually refine the plan
+      steps before approval. The CLI will automatically refresh and show the
+      updated plan after you save and close the editor.

+[Evals: Nightly](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml)
+run is considered to be the source of truth for the quality of an eval test.
+Each run of it executes a test 3 times in a row, for each supported model. The
+result is then scored 0%, 33%, 66%, or 100% respectively, to indicate how many
+of the individual executions passed.
+
+Googlers can schedule a manual run against their branch by clicking the link
+above.
+
+Tests should score at least 66% with key models including Gemini 3.1 pro, Gemini
+3.0 pro, and Gemini 3 flash prior to check in and they must pass 100% of the
+time before they are promoted.
+
+## Test promotion process
+
+To maintain a stable and reliable CI, all new behavioral evaluations follow a
+mandatory deflaking process.
+
+1. **Incubation**: You must create all new tests with the `USUALLY_PASSES`
+   policy. This lets them be monitored in the nightly runs without blocking PRs.
+2. **Monitoring**: The test must complete at least 10 nightly runs across all
+   supported models.
+3. **Promotion**: Promotion to `ALWAYS_PASSES` happens exclusively through the
+   `/promote-behavioral-eval` slash command. This command verifies the 100%
+   success rate requirement is met across many runs before updating the test
+   policy.

+### Best practices
+
 It's highly recommended to manually review and/or ask the agent to iterate on
 any prompt changes, even if they pass all evals. The prompt should prefer
 positive traits ('do X') and resort to negative traits ('do not do X') only when
 unable to accomplish the goal with positive traits. Gemini is quite good at
 instrospecting on its prompt when asked the right questions.
+
+## Promoting evaluations
+
+Evaluations must be promoted from `USUALLY_PASSES` to `ALWAYS_PASSES`
+exclusively using the `/promote-behavioral-eval` slash command. Manual promotion
+is not allowed to ensure that the 100% success rate requirement is empirically
+met.
+
+### `/promote-behavioral-eval`
+
+This command automates the promotion of stable tests by:
+
+1.  **Investigating**: Analyzing the results of the last 7 nightly runs on the
+    `main` branch using the `gh` CLI.
+2.  **Criteria Check**: Identifying tests that have passed 100% of the time for
+    ALL enabled models across the entire 7-run history.
+3.  **Promotion**: Updating the test file's policy from `USUALLY_PASSES` to
+    `ALWAYS_PASSES`.
+4.  **Verification**: Running the promoted test locally to ensure correctness.
+
+To run it:

+# Policy engine example extension
+
+This extension demonstrates how to contribute security rules and safety checkers
+to the Gemini CLI Policy Engine.
+
+## Description
+
+The extension uses a `policies/` directory containing `.toml` files to define:
+
+- A rule that requires user confirmation for `rm -rf` commands.
+- A rule that denies searching for sensitive files (like `.env`) using `grep`.
+- A safety checker that validates file paths for all write operations.
+
+## Structure
+
+- `gemini-extension.json`: The manifest file.
+- `policies/`: Contains the `.toml` policy files.
+
+## How to use
+
+1.  Link this extension to your local Gemini CLI installation:
+
+    ```bash
+    gemini extensions link packages/cli/src/commands/extensions/examples/policies
+    ```
+
+2.  Restart your Gemini CLI session.
+
+3.  **Observe the policies:**
+    - Try asking the model to delete a directory: The policy engine will prompt
+      you for confirmation due to the `rm -rf` rule.
+    - Try asking the model to search for secrets: The `grep` rule will deny the
+      request and display the custom deny message.
+    - Any file write operation will now be processed through the `allowed-path`
+      safety checker.
+
+## Security note
+
+For security, Gemini CLI ignores any `allow` decisions or `yolo` mode
+configurations contributed by extensions. This ensures that extensions can
+strengthen security but cannot bypass user confirmation.
