 In addition to the code context, you MUST strictly adhere to the following frontend-specific development guidelines while adding code to packages/cli.
 
-## Testing Standards
-*   **Async Testing**: ALWAYS use `waitFor` from `packages/cli/src/test-utils/async.ts` instead of `vi.waitFor` to prevent flakiness and `act` warnings. NEVER use fixed waits (e.g., `await delay(100)`).
-*   **State Changes**: Wrap all blocks that change component state in `act`.
-*   **Snapshots**: Use `toMatchSnapshot` to verify rendering.
-*   **Rendering**: Use `render` or `renderWithProviders` from `packages/cli/src/test-utils/render.tsx` instead of `ink-testing-library` directly.
-*   **Mocking**:
-    *   Reuse existing mocks/fakes where possible.
-    *   **Parameterized Tests**: Use parameterized tests with explicit types to reduce duplication and ensure type safety.
-    *   Avoid mocking the file system, os, or child_process if at all possible; if you have to mock the Mock critical dependencies (`fs`, `os`, `child_process`) do so ONLY at the top of the file.
-
-## React & Ink Architecture
-*   **Keyboard Handling**: You MUST use `useKeyPress.ts` from Gemini CLI for keyboard handling, NOT the standard ink library. This is critical for supporting slow terminals and multiple events per frame.
-    *   Handle multiple events gracefully (often requires a reducer pattern, see `text-buffer.ts`).
-*   **State Management**:
-    *   NEVER trigger side effects from within the body of a `setState` callback. Use a reducer or `useRef` if necessary.
-    *   Initialize state explicitly (e.g., use `undefined` rather than `true` if unknown).
-*   **Performance**:
-    *   Avoid synchronous file I/O in components.
-    *   Do not introduce excessive property drilling; leverage or extend existing providers.
-
-## Configuration & Settings
-*   **Settings vs Args**: Use settings for user-configurable options; do not add new CLI arguments.
-*   **Schema**: Add new settings to `packages/cli/src/config/settingsSchema.ts`.
-*   **Documentation**:

+
+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.

-6.  Consider ways the code may not be consistent with existing code in the repo. In particular it is critical that the react code uses patterns consistent with existing code in the repo.
-7.  Evaluate all tests on the changes and make sure that they are doing the following:
-   * Using `waitFor` from @{packages/cli/src/test-utils/async.ts} rather than
-     using `vi.waitFor` for all `waitFor` calls within `packages/cli`. Even if
-     tests pass, using the wrong `waitFor` could result in flaky tests as `act`
-     warnings could show up if timing is slightly different.
-   * Using `act` to wrap all blocks in tests that change component state.
-   * Using `toMatchSnapshot` to verify that rendering works as expected rather
-     than matching against the raw content of the output.
-   * If snapshots were changed as part of the changes, review the snapshots
-     changes to ensure they are intentional and comment if any look at all
-     suspicious. Too many snapshot changes that indicate bugs have been approved
-     in the past.
-   * Use `render` or `renderWithProviders` from
-     @{packages/cli/src/test-utils/render.tsx} rather than using `render` from
-     `ink-testing-library` directly. This is needed to ensure that we do not get
-     warnings about spurious `act` calls. If test cases specify providers
-     directly, consider whether the existing `renderWithProviders` should be
-     modified to support that use case.
-   * Ensure the test cases are using parameterized tests where that might reduce
-     the number of duplicated lines significantly.
-   * NEVER use fixed waits (e.g. 'await delay(100)'). Always use 'waitFor' with
-     a predicate to ensure tests are stable and fast.
-   * Ensure mocks are properly managed:
-     * Critical dependencies (fs, os, child_process) should only be mocked at
-       the top of the file. Ideally avoid mocking these dependencies altogether.
-     * Check to see if there are existing mocks or fakes that can be used rather
-       than creating new ones for the new tests added.
-     * Try to avoid mocking the file system whenever possible. If using the real
-       file system is difficult consider whether the test should be an
-       integration test rather than a unit test.
-     * `vi.restoreAllMocks()` should be called in `afterEach` to prevent test
-       pollution.
-     * Use `vi.useFakeTimers()` for tests involving time-based logic to avoid
-       flakiness.
-     * Avoid using `any` in tests; prefer proper types or `unknown` with
-       narrowing.
-     * When creating parameterized tests, give the parameters types to ensure
-       that the tests are type-safe.
-8. Evaluate all react logic carefully keeping in mind that the author of the
-    changes is not likely an expert on React. Key areas to audit carefully are:
-    * Whether `setState` calls trigger side effects from within the body of the
-      `setState` callback. If so, you *must* propose an alternate design using
-      reducers or other ways the code might be modified to not have to modify
-      state from within a `setState`. Make sure to comment about absolutely
-      every case like this as these cases have introduced multiple bugs in the
-      past. Typically these cases should be resolved using a reducer although
-      occassionally other techniques such as useRef are appropriate. Consider
-      suggesting that jacob314@ be tagged on the code review if the solution is
-      not 100% obvious.
-    * Whether code might introduce an infinite rendering loop in React.
-    * Whether keyboard handling is robust. Keyboard handling must go through
-      `useKeyPress.ts` from the Gemini CLI package rather than using the
-      standard ink library used by most keyboard handling. Unlike the standard
-      ink library, the keyboard handling library in Gemini CLI may report
-      multiple keyboard events one after another in the same React frame. This
-      is needed to support slow terminals but introduces complexity in all our
-      code that handles keyboard events. Handling this correctly often means
-      that reducers must be used or other mechanisms to ensure that multiple
-      state updates one after another are handled gracefully rather than
-      overriding values from the first update with the second update. Refer to
-      text-buffer.ts as a canonical example of using a reducer for this sort of
-      case.
-    * Ensure code does not use `console.log`, `console.warn`, or `console.error`
-      as these indicate debug logging that was accidentally left in the code.
-    * Avoid synchronous file I/O in React components as it will hang the UI.
-    * Ensure state initialization is explicit (e.g., use 'undefined' rather than
-      'true' as a default if the state is truly unknown initially).
-    * Carefully manage 'useEffect' dependencies. Prefer to use a reducer
-      whenever practical to resolve the issues. If that is not practical it is
-      ok to use 'useRef' to access the latest value of a prop or state inside an
-      effect without adding it to the dependency array if re-running the effect
-      is undesirable (common in event listeners).
-    * NEVER disable 'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps'. Fix the code to correctly
-      declare dependencies. Disabling this lint rule will almost always lead to
-      hard to detect bugs.
-    * Avoid making types nullable unless strictly necessary, as it hurts
-      readability.
-    * Do not introduce excessive property drilling. There are multiple providers
-      that can be leveraged to avoid property drilling. Make sure one of them
-      cannot be used. Do suggest a provider that might make sense to be extended
-      to include the new property or propose a new provider to add if the
-      property drilling is excessive. Only use providers for properties that are
-      consistent for the entire application.
-9. General Gemini CLI design principles:
-    * Make sure that settings are only used for options that a user might
-      consider changing.
-    * Do not add new command line arguments and suggest settings instead.
-    * New settings must be added to packages/cli/src/config/settingsSchema.ts.
-    * If a setting has 'showInDialog: true', it MUST be documented in
-      docs/get-started/configuration.md.
-    * Ensure 'requiresRestart' is correctly set for new settings.
-    * Use 'debugLogger' for rethrown errors to avoid duplicate logging.
-    * All new keyboard shortcuts MUST be documented in
-      docs/cli/keyboard-shortcuts.md.
-    * Ensure new keyboard shortcuts are defined in
-      packages/cli/src/config/keyBindings.ts.
-    * If new keyboard shortcuts are added, remind the user to test them in
-      VSCode, iTerm2, Ghostty, and Windows to ensure they work for all
-      users.
-    * Be careful of keybindings that require the meta key as only certain
-      meta key shortcuts are supported on Mac.
-    * Be skeptical of function keys and keyboard shortcuts that are commonly
-      bound in VSCode as they may conflict.
-10. TypeScript Best Practices:
-    * Use 'checkExhaustive' in the 'default' clause of 'switch' statements to
-      ensure all cases are handled.
-    * Avoid using the non-null assertion operator ('!') unless absolutely
-      necessary and you are confident the value is not null.

 8. Consider ways the code may not be consistent with existing code in the repo.
    In particular it is critical that the react code uses patterns consistent
    with existing code in the repo.
-9. Evaluate all tests on the PR and make sure that they are doing the following:
-   * Using `waitFor` from @{packages/cli/src/test-utils/async.ts} rather than
-     using `vi.waitFor` for all `waitFor` calls within `packages/cli`. Even if
-     tests pass, using the wrong `waitFor` could result in flaky tests as `act`
-     warnings could show up if timing is slightly different.
-   * Using `act` to wrap all blocks in tests that change component state.
-   * Using `toMatchSnapshot` to verify that rendering works as expected rather
-     than matching against the raw content of the output.
-   * If snapshots were changed as part of the pull request, review the snapshots
-     changes to ensure they are intentional and comment if any look at all
-     suspicious. Too many snapshot changes that indicate bugs have been approved
-     in the past.
-   * Use `render` or `renderWithProviders` from
-     @{packages/cli/src/test-utils/render.tsx} rather than using `render` from
-     `ink-testing-library` directly. This is needed to ensure that we do not get
-     warnings about spurious `act` calls. If test cases specify providers
-     directly, consider whether the existing `renderWithProviders` should be
-     modified to support that use case.
-   * Ensure the test cases are using parameterized tests where that might reduce
-     the number of duplicated lines significantly.
-   * NEVER use fixed waits (e.g. 'await delay(100)'). Always use 'waitFor' with
-     a predicate to ensure tests are stable and fast.
-   * Ensure mocks are properly managed:
-     * Critical dependencies (fs, os, child_process) should only be mocked at
-       the top of the file. Ideally avoid mocking these dependencies altogether.
-     * Check to see if there are existing mocks or fakes that can be used rather
-       than creating new ones for the new tests added.
-     * Try to avoid mocking the file system whenever possible. If using the real
-       file system is difficult consider whether the test should be an
-       integration test rather than a unit test.
-     * `vi.restoreAllMocks()` should be called in `afterEach` to prevent test
-       pollution.
-     * Use `vi.useFakeTimers()` for tests involving time-based logic to avoid
-       flakiness.
-     * Avoid using `any` in tests; prefer proper types or `unknown` with
-       narrowing.
-     * When creating parameterized tests, give the parameters types to ensure
-       that the tests are type-safe.
-10. Evaluate all react logic carefully keeping in mind that the author of the PR
-    is not likely an expert on React. Key areas to audit carefully are:
-    * Whether `setState` calls trigger side effects from within the body of the
-      `setState` callback. If so, you *must* propose an alternate design using
-      reducers or other ways the code might be modified to not have to modify
-      state from within a `setState`. Make sure to comment about absolutely
-      every case like this as these cases have introduced multiple bugs in the
-      past. Typically these cases should be resolved using a reducer although
-      occassionally other techniques such as useRef are appropriate. Consider
-      suggesting that jacob314@ be tagged on the code review if the solution is
-      not 100% obvious.
-    * Whether code might introduce an infinite rendering loop in React.
-    * Whether keyboard handling is robust. Keyboard handling must go through
-      `useKeyPress.ts` from the Gemini CLI package rather than using the
-      standard ink library used by most keyboard handling. Unlike the standard
-      ink library, the keyboard handling library in Gemini CLI may report
-      multiple keyboard events one after another in the same React frame. This
-      is needed to support slow terminals but introduces complexity in all our
-      code that handles keyboard events. Handling this correctly often means
-      that reducers must be used or other mechanisms to ensure that multiple
-      state updates one after another are handled gracefully rather than
-      overriding values from the first update with the second update. Refer to
-      text-buffer.ts as a canonical example of using a reducer for this sort of
-      case.
-    * Ensure code does not use `console.log`, `console.warn`, or `console.error`
-      as these indicate debug logging that was accidentally left in the code.
-    * Avoid synchronous file I/O in React components as it will hang the UI.
-    * Ensure state initialization is explicit (e.g., use 'undefined' rather than
-      'true' as a default if the state is truly unknown initially).
-    * Carefully manage 'useEffect' dependencies. Prefer to use a reducer
-      whenever practical to resolve the issues. If that is not practical it is
-      ok to use 'useRef' to access the latest value of a prop or state inside an
-      effect without adding it to the dependency array if re-running the effect
-      is undesirable (common in event listeners).
-    * NEVER disable 'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps'. Fix the code to correctly
-      declare dependencies. Disabling this lint rule will almost always lead to
-      hard to detect bugs.
-    * Avoid making types nullable unless strictly necessary, as it hurts
-      readability.
-    * Do not introduce excessive property drilling. There are multiple providers
-      that can be leveraged to avoid property drilling. Make sure one of them
-      cannot be used. Do suggest a provider that might make sense to be extended
-      to include the new property or propose a new provider to add if the
-      property drilling is excessive. Only use providers for properties that are
-      consistent for the entire application.
-11. General Gemini CLI design principles:
-    * Make sure that settings are only used for options that a user might
-      consider changing.
-    * Do not add new command line arguments and suggest settings instead.
-    * New settings must be added to packages/cli/src/config/settingsSchema.ts.
-    * If a setting has 'showInDialog: true', it MUST be documented in
-      docs/get-started/configuration.md.
-    * Ensure 'requiresRestart' is correctly set for new settings.
-    * Use 'debugLogger' for rethrown errors to avoid duplicate logging.
-    * All new keyboard shortcuts MUST be documented in
-      docs/cli/keyboard-shortcuts.md.
-    * Ensure new keyboard shortcuts are defined in
-      packages/cli/src/config/keyBindings.ts.
-    * If new keyboard shortcuts are added, remind the user to test them in
-      VSCode, iTerm2, Ghostty, and Windows to ensure they work for all
-      users.
-    * Be careful of keybindings that require the meta key as only certain
-      meta key shortcuts are supported on Mac.
-    * Be skeptical of function keys and keyboard shortcuts that are commonly
-      bound in VSCode as they may conflict.
-12. TypeScript Best Practices:
-    * Use 'checkExhaustive' in the 'default' clause of 'switch' statements to
-      ensure all cases are handled.
-    * Avoid using the non-null assertion operator ('!') unless absolutely
-      necessary and you are confident the value is not null.

+# Gemini CLI Strict Development Rules
+
+These rules apply strictly to all code modifications and additions within the
+Gemini CLI project.
+
+## Testing Guidelines
+
+- **Async/Await**: Always use `waitFor` from
+  `packages/cli/src/test-utils/async.ts` instead of `vi.waitFor` for all
+  `waitFor` calls within `packages/cli`. NEVER use fixed waits (e.g.,
+  `await delay(100)`). Always use `waitFor` with a predicate to ensure tests are
+  stable and fast. Using the wrong `waitFor` can result in flaky tests and `act`
+  warnings.
+- **React Testing**: Use `act` to wrap all blocks in tests that change component
+  state. Use `render` or `renderWithProviders` from
+  `packages/cli/src/test-utils/render.tsx` instead of `render` from
+  `ink-testing-library` directly. This prevents spurious `act` warnings. If test
+  cases specify providers directly, consider whether the existing
+  `renderWithProviders` should be modified.
+- **Snapshots**: Use `toMatchSnapshot` to verify that rendering works as
+  expected rather than matching against the raw content of the output. When
+  modifying snapshots, verify the changes are intentional and do not hide
+  underlying bugs.
+- **Parameterized Tests**: Use parameterized tests where it reduces duplicated
+  lines. Give the parameters explicit types to ensure the tests are type-safe.
+- **Mocks Management**:
+  - Mock critical dependencies (`fs`, `os`, `child_process`) ONLY at the top of
+    the file. Ideally, avoid mocking these dependencies altogether.
+  - Reuse existing mocks and fakes rather than creating new ones.
+  - Avoid mocking the file system whenever possible. If using the real file
+    system is too difficult, consider writing an integration test instead.
+  - Always call `vi.restoreAllMocks()` in `afterEach` to prevent test pollution.
+  - Use `vi.useFakeTimers()` for tests involving time-based logic to avoid
+    flakiness.
+- **Typing in Tests**: Avoid using `any` in tests; prefer proper types or
+  `unknown` with narrowing.
+
+## React Guidelines (`packages/cli`)
+
+- **`setState` and Side Effects**: NEVER trigger side effects from within the
+  body of a `setState` callback. Use a reducer or `useRef` if necessary. These
+  cases have historically introduced multiple bugs; typically, they should be
+  resolved using a reducer.
+- **Rendering**: Do not introduce infinite rendering loops. Avoid synchronous
+  file I/O in React components as it will hang the UI. Do not implement new
+  logic for custom string measurement or string truncation. Use Ink layout
+  instead, leveraging `ResizeObserver` as needed.
+- **Keyboard Handling**: Keyboard handling MUST go through `useKeyPress.ts` from
+  the Gemini CLI package rather than the standard ink library. This library
+  supports reporting multiple keyboard events sequentially in the same React
+  frame (critical for slow terminals). Handling this correctly often requires
+  reducers to ensure multiple state updates are handled gracefully without
+  overriding values. Refer to `text-buffer.ts` for a canonical example.
+- **Logging**: Do not leave `console.log`, `console.warn`, or `console.error` in
+  the code.
+- **State & Effects**: Ensure state initialization is explicit (e.g., use
+  `undefined` rather than `true` as a default if the state is truly unknown).
+  Carefully manage `useEffect` dependencies. Prefer a reducer whenever
+  practical. NEVER disable `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`; fix the code to
+  correctly declare dependencies instead.
+- **Context & Props**: Avoid excessive property drilling. Leverage existing
+  providers, extend them, or propose a new one if necessary. Only use providers
+  for properties that are consistent across the entire application.
+- **Code Structure**: Avoid complex `if` statements where `switch` statements
+  could be used. Keep `AppContainer` minimal; refactor complex logic into React
+  hooks. Evaluate whether business logic should be added to `hookSystem.ts` or
+  integrated into `packages/core` rather than `packages/cli`.
+
+## Core Guidelines (`packages/core`)
+
+- **Services**: Implement services as classes with clear lifecycle management
+  (e.g., `initialize()` methods). Services should be stateless where possible,
+  or use the centralized `Storage` service for persistence.
+- **Cross-Service Communication**: Prefer using the `coreEvents` bus (from
+  `packages/core/src/utils/events.ts`) for asynchronous communication between
+  services or to notify the UI of state changes. Avoid tight coupling between
+  services.
+- **Utilities**: Use `debugLogger` from `packages/core/src/utils/debugLogger.ts`
+  for internal logging instead of `console`. Ensure all shell operations use
+  `spawnAsync` from `packages/core/src/utils/shell-utils.ts` for consistent
+  error handling and promise management. Handle filesystem errors gracefully
+  using `isNodeError` from `packages/core/src/utils/errors.ts`.
+- **Exports & Tooling**: Add new tools to `packages/core/src/tools/` and
+  register them in `packages/core/src/tools/tool-registry.ts`. Export all new
+  public services, utilities, and types from `packages/core/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Architectural Audit (Package Boundaries)
+
+- **Logic Placement**: Non-UI logic (e.g., model orchestration, tool
+  implementation, git/filesystem operations) MUST reside in `packages/core`.
+  `packages/cli` should ONLY contain UI/Ink components, command-line argument
+  parsing, and user interaction logic.
+- **Environment Isolation**: Core logic must not assume a TUI environment. Use
+  the `ConfirmationBus` or `Output` abstractions for communicating with the user
+  from Core.
+- **Decoupling**: Actively look for opportunities to decouple services using
+  `coreEvents`. If a service imports another just to notify it of a change, use
+  an event instead.
+
+## General Gemini CLI Design Principles
+
+- **Settings**: Use settings for user-configurable options rather than adding
+  new command line arguments. Add new settings to
+  `packages/cli/src/config/settingsSchema.ts`. If a setting has
+  `showInDialog: true`, it MUST be documented in
+  `docs/get-started/configuration.md`. Ensure `requiresRestart` is correctly
+  set.
+- **Logging**: Use `debugLogger` for rethrown errors to avoid duplicate logging.
+- **Keyboard Shortcuts**: Define all new keyboard shortcuts in
+  `packages/cli/src/ui/key/keyBindings.ts` and document them in
+  `docs/cli/keyboard-shortcuts.md`. Be careful of keybindings that require the
+  `Meta` key, as only certain meta key shortcuts are supported on Mac. Avoid
+  function keys and shortcuts commonly bound in VSCode.
+
+## TypeScript Best Practices
+
+- Use `checkExhaustive` in the `default` clause of `switch` statements to ensure
+  all cases are handled.
+- Avoid using the non-null assertion operator (`!`) unless absolutely necessary.
+- **STRICT TYPING**: Strictly forbid `any` and `unknown` in both CLI and Core
+  packages. `unknown` is only allowed if it is immediately narrowed using type
+  guards or Zod validation.
+- NEVER disable `@typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises`.
+- Avoid making types nullable unless strictly necessary, as it hurts
+  readability.
+
+## TUI Best Practices
+
+- **Terminal Compatibility**: Consider how changes might behave differently
+  across terminals (e.g., VSCode terminal, SSH, Kitty, default Mac terminal,
+  iTerm2, Windows terminal). If modifying keyboard handling, integrate deeply
+  with existing files like `KeypressContext.tsx` and
+  `terminalCapabilityManager.ts`.
+- **iTerm**: Be aware that `ITERM_SESSION_ID` may be present when users run
+  VSCode from within iTerm, even if the terminal is not iTerm.
+
+## Code Cleanup
+
+- **Refactoring**: Actively clean up code duplication, technical debt, and
+  boilerplate ("AI Slop") when working in the codebase.
+- **Prompts**: Be aware that changes can impact the prompts sent to Gemini CLI
+  and affect overall quality.

+
+# Procedure: Updating Changelog for New Releases
+
+## Objective
+
+To standardize the process of updating changelog files (`latest.md`,
+`preview.md`, `index.md`) based on automated release information.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- **version**: The release version string (e.g., `v0.28.0`,
+  `v0.29.0-preview.2`).
+- **TIME**: The release timestamp (e.g., `2026-02-12T20:33:15Z`).
+- **BODY**: The raw markdown release notes, containing a "What's Changed"
+  section and a "Full Changelog" link.
+
+## Guidelines for `latest.md` and `preview.md` Highlights
+
+- Aim for **3-5 key highlight points**.
+- Each highlight point must start with a bold-typed title that summarizes the
+  change (e.g., `**New Feature:** A brief description...`).
+- **Prioritize** summarizing new features over other changes like bug fixes or
+  chores.
+- **Avoid** mentioning features that are "experimental" or "in preview" in
+  Stable Releases.
+- **DO NOT** include PR numbers, links, or author names in these highlights.
+- Refer to `.gemini/skills/docs-changelog/references/highlights_examples.md`
+  for the correct style and tone.
+
+## Initial Processing
+
+1.  **Analyze Version**: Determine the release path based on the `version`
+    string.
+    - If `version` contains "nightly", **STOP**. No changes are made.
+    - If `version` ends in `.0`, follow the **Path A: New Minor Version**
+      procedure.
+    - If `version` does not end in `.0`, follow the **Path B: Patch Version**
+      procedure.
+2.  **Process Time**: Convert the `TIME` input into two formats for later use:
+    `yyyy-mm-dd` and `Month dd, yyyy`.
+3.  **Process Body**:
+    - Save the incoming `BODY` content to a temporary file for processing.
+    - In the "What's Changed" section of the temporary file, reformat all pull
+      request URLs to be markdown links with the PR number as the text (e.g.,
+      `[#12345](URL)`).
+    - If a "New Contributors" section exists, delete it.
+    - Preserve the "**Full Changelog**" link. The processed content of this
+      temporary file will be used in subsequent steps.
+
+---
+
+## Path A: New Minor Version
+
+*Use this path if the version number ends in `.0`.*
+
+**Important:** Based on the version, you must choose to follow either section
+A.1 for stable releases or A.2 for preview releases. Do not follow the
+instructions for the other section.
+
+### A.1: Stable Release (e.g., `v0.28.0`)
+
+For a stable release, you will generate two distinct summaries from the
+changelog: a concise **announcement** for the main changelog page, and a more
+detailed **highlights** section for the release-specific page.
+
+1.  **Create the Announcement for `index.md`**:
+    -   Generate a concise announcement summarizing the most important changes.
+        Each announcement entry must start with a bold-typed title that
+        summarizes the change.
+    -   **Important**: The format for this announcement is unique. You **must**
+        use the existing announcements in `docs/changelogs/index.md` and the
+        example within
+        `.gemini/skills/docs-changelog/references/index_template.md` as your
+        guide. This format includes PR links and authors. Stick to 1 or 2 PR
+        links and authors.
+    -   Add this new announcement to the top of `docs/changelogs/index.md`.
+
+2.  **Create Highlights and Update `latest.md`**:
+    -   Generate a comprehensive "Highlights" section, following the guidelines
+        in the "Guidelines for `latest.md` and `preview.md` Highlights" section
+        above.
+    -   Take the content from
+        `.gemini/skills/docs-changelog/references/latest_template.md`.
+    -   Populate the template with the `version`, `release_date`, generated
+        `highlights`, and the processed content from the temporary file.
+    -   **Completely replace** the contents of `docs/changelogs/latest.md` with
+        the populated template.
+
+### A.2: Preview Release (e.g., `v0.29.0-preview.0`)
+
+1.  **Update `preview.md`**:
+    -   Generate a comprehensive "Highlights" section, following the highlight
+        guidelines.
+    -   Take the content from
+        `.gemini/skills/docs-changelog/references/preview_template.md`.
+    -   Populate the template with the `version`, `release_date`, generated
+        `highlights`, and the processed content from the temporary file.
+    -   **Completely replace** the contents of `docs/changelogs/preview.md`
+        with the populated template.
+
+---
+
+## Path B: Patch Version
+
+*Use this path if the version number does **not** end in `.0`.*
+
+**Important:** Based on the version, you must choose to follow either section
+B.1 for stable patches or B.2 for preview patches. Do not follow the
+instructions for the other section.
+
+### B.1: Stable Patch (e.g., `v0.28.1`)
+
+- **Target File**: `docs/changelogs/latest.md`
+- Perform the following edits on the target file:
+    1.  Update the version in the main header. The line should read,
+        `# Latest stable release: {{version}}`
+    2.  Update the rease date. The line should read,
+        `Released: {{release_date_month_dd_yyyy}}`
+    3.  Determine if a "What's Changed" section exists in the temporary file
+        If so, continue to step 4. Otherwise, skip to step 5.
+    4.  **Prepend** the processed "What's Changed" list from the temporary file
+        to the existing "What's Changed" list in `latest.md`. Do not change or
+        replace the existing list, **only add** to the beginning of it.
+    5.  In the "Full Changelog", edit **only** the end of the URL. Identify the
+        last part of the URL that looks like `...{previous_version}` and update
+        it to be `...{version}`.
+
+        Example: assume the patch version is `v0.29.1`. Change
+        `Full Changelog: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/compare/v0.28.2…v0.29.0`
+        to
+        `Full Changelog: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/compare/v0.28.2…v0.29.1`
+
+### B.2: Preview Patch (e.g., `v0.29.0-preview.3`)
+
+- **Target File**: `docs/changelogs/preview.md`
+- Perform the following edits on the target file:
+    1.  Update the version in the main header. The line should read,
+        `# Preview release: {{version}}`
+    2.  Update the rease date. The line should read,
+        `Released: {{release_date_month_dd_yyyy}}`
+    3.  Determine if a "What's Changed" section exists in the temporary file
+        If so, continue to step 4. Otherwise, skip to step 5.
+    4.  **Prepend** the processed "What's Changed" list from the temporary file
+        to the existing "What's Changed" list in `preview.md`. Do not change or
+        replace the existing list, **only add** to the beginning of it.
+    5.  In the "Full Changelog", edit **only** the end of the URL. Identify the
+        last part of the URL that looks like `...{previous_version}` and update
+        it to be `...{version}`.
+
+        Example: assume the patch version is `v0.29.0-preview.1`. Change
+        `Full Changelog: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/compare/v0.28.2…v0.29.0-preview.0`
+        to
+        `Full Changelog: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/compare/v0.28.2…v0.29.0-preview.1`
+

 # `docs-writer` skill instructions
 
-As an expert technical writer and editor for the Gemini CLI project, your goal
-is to produce and refine documentation that is accurate, clear, consistent, and
-easy for users to understand. You must adhere to the documentation contribution
-process outlined in `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
+As an expert technical writer and editor for the Gemini CLI project, you produce
+accurate, clear, and consistent documentation. When asked to write, edit, or
+review documentation, you must ensure the content strictly adheres to the
+provided documentation standards and accurately reflects the current codebase.
+Adhere to the contribution process in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and the following
+project standards.
 
-## Step 1: Understand the goal and create a plan
+## Phase 1: Documentation standards
 
-1.  **Clarify the request:** Fully understand the user's documentation request.
-    Identify the core feature, command, or concept that needs work.
-2.  **Differentiate the task:** Determine if the request is primarily for
-    **writing** new content or **editing** existing content. If the request is
-    ambiguous (e.g., "fix the docs"), ask the user for clarification.
-3.  **Formulate a plan:** Create a clear, step-by-step plan for the required
-    changes.
+Adhering to these principles and standards when writing, editing, and reviewing.
 
-## Step 2: Investigate and gather information
+### Voice and tone
+Adopt a tone that balances professionalism with a helpful, conversational
+approach.
 
-1.  **Read the code:** Thoroughly examine the relevant codebase, primarily
-    within
-    the `packages/` directory, to ensure your work is backed by the
-    implementation and to identify any gaps.
-2.  **Identify files:** Locate the specific documentation files in the `docs/`
-    directory that need to be modified. Always read the latest version of a file
-    before you begin work.
-3.  **Check for connections:** Consider related documentation. If you change a
-    command's behavior, check for other pages that reference it. If you add a new
-    page, check if `docs/sidebar.json` needs to be updated. Make sure all
-    links are up to date.
+- **Perspective and tense:** Address the reader as "you." Use active voice and
+  present tense (e.g., "The API returns...").
+- **Tone:** Professional, friendly, and direct. 
+- **Clarity:** Use simple vocabulary. Avoid jargon, slang, and marketing hype.
+- **Global Audience:** Write in standard US English. Avoid idioms and cultural
+  references.
+- **Requirements:** Be clear about requirements ("must") vs. recommendations
+  ("we recommend"). Avoid "should."
+- **Word Choice:** Avoid "please" and anthropomorphism (e.g., "the server
+  thinks"). Use contractions (don't, it's).
 
-## Step 3: Write or edit the documentation
+### Language and grammar
+Write precisely to ensure your instructions are unambiguous.
 
-1.  **Follow the style guide:** Adhere to the rules in
-    `references/style-guide.md`. Read this file to understand the project's
-    documentation standards.
-2.   Ensure the new documentation accurately reflects the features in the code.
-3.  **Use `replace` and `write_file`:** Use file system tools to apply your
-    planned changes. For small edits, `replace` is preferred. For new files or
-    large rewrites, `write_file` is more appropriate.
+- **Abbreviations:** Avoid Latin abbreviations; use "for example" (not "e.g.")
+  and "that is" (not "i.e.").
+- **Punctuation:** Use the serial comma. Place periods and commas inside
+  quotation marks.
+- **Dates:** Use unambiguous formats (e.g., "January 22, 2026").
+- **Conciseness:** Use "lets you" instead of "allows you to." Use precise,
+  specific verbs.
+- **Examples:** Use meaningful names in examples; avoid placeholders like
+  "foo" or "bar."
+- **Quota and limit terminology:** For any content involving resource capacity
+  or using the word "quota" or "limit", strictly adhere to the guidelines in
+  the `quota-limit-style-guide.md` resource file. Generally, Use "quota" for the
+  administrative bucket and "limit" for the numerical ceiling.
+
+### Formatting and syntax
+Apply consistent formatting to make documentation visually organized and
+accessible.
+
+- **Overview paragraphs:** Every heading must be followed by at least one
+  introductory overview paragraph before any lists or sub-headings.
+- **Text wrap:** Wrap text at 80 characters (except long links or tables).
+- **Casing:** Use sentence case for headings, titles, and bolded text.
+- **Naming:** Always refer to the project as `Gemini CLI` (never
+  `the Gemini CLI`).
+- **Lists:** Use numbered lists for sequential steps and bulleted lists
+  otherwise. Keep list items parallel in structure.
+- **UI and code:** Use **bold** for UI elements and `code font` for filenames,
+  snippets, commands, and API elements. Focus on the task when discussing
+  interaction.
+- **Links:** Use descriptive anchor text; avoid "click here." Ensure the link
+  makes sense out of context.
+- **Accessibility:** Use semantic HTML elements correctly (headings, lists, 
+  tables).
+- **Media:** Use lowercase hyphenated filenames. Provide descriptive alt text
+  for all images.
+
+### Structure
+- **BLUF:** Start with an introduction explaining what to expect.
+- **Experimental features:** If a feature is clearly noted as experimental,
+add the following note immediately after the introductory paragraph:
+  `> **Note:** This is a preview feature currently under active development.`
+- **Headings:** Use hierarchical headings to support the user journey.
+- **Procedures:** 
+  - Introduce lists of steps with a complete sentence.
+  - Start each step with an imperative verb.
+  - Number sequential steps; use bullets for non-sequential lists.
+  - Put conditions before instructions (e.g., "On the Settings page, click...").
+  - Provide clear context for where the action takes place.
+  - Indicate optional steps clearly (e.g., "Optional: ...").
+- **Elements:** Use bullet lists, tables, notes (`> **Note:**`), and warnings 
+  (`> **Warning:**`).
+- **Avoid using a table of contents:** If a table of contents is present, remove
+  it.
+- **Next steps:** Conclude with a "Next steps" section if applicable.
+
+## Phase 2: Preparation
+Before modifying any documentation, thoroughly investigate the request and the
+surrounding context. 
+
+1.  **Clarify:** Understand the core request. Differentiate between writing new
+    content and editing existing content. If the request is ambiguous (e.g.,
+    "fix the docs"), ask for clarification.
+2.  **Investigate:** Examine relevant code (primarily in `packages/`) for
+    accuracy.
+3.  **Audit:** Read the latest versions of relevant files in `docs/`.
+4.  **Connect:** Identify all referencing pages if changing behavior. Check if
+    `docs/sidebar.json` needs updates.
+5.  **Plan:** Create a step-by-step plan before making changes.
+
+## Phase 3: Execution
+Implement your plan by either updating existing files or creating new ones
+using the appropriate file system tools. Use `replace` for small edits and
+`write_file` for new files or large rewrites.
+
+### Editing existing documentation
+Follow these additional steps when asked to review or update existing
+documentation.
+
+- **Gaps:** Identify areas where the documentation is incomplete or no longer
+  reflects existing code.
+- **Structure:** Apply "Structure (New Docs)" rules (BLUF, headings, etc.) when 
+  adding new sections to existing pages.
+- **Headers**: If you change a header, you must check for links that lead to
+  that header and update them.
+- **Tone:** Ensure the tone is active and engaging. Use "you" and contractions.
+- **Clarity:** Correct awkward wording, spelling, and grammar. Rephrase
+  sentences to make them easier for users to understand.
+- **Consistency:** Check for consistent terminology and style across all edited
+  documents.
 
 
+## Phase 4: Verification and finalization
+Perform a final quality check to ensure that all changes are correctly formatted
+and that all links are functional.
 
-### Sub-step: Editing existing documentation (as clarified in Step 1)
-
--   **Gaps:** Identify areas where the documentation is incomplete or no longer
-    reflects existing code.
--   **Tone:** Ensure the tone is active and engaging, not passive.
--   **Clarity:** Correct awkward wording, spelling, and grammar. Rephrase
-    sentences to make them easier for users to understand.
--   **Consistency:** Check for consistent terminology and style across all
-    edited documents.
-
-## Step 4: Verify and finalize
-
-1.  **Review your work:** After making changes, re-read the files to ensure the
-    documentation is well-formatted, and the content is correct based on
-    existing code.
-2.  **Link verification:** Verify the validity of all links in the new content.
-    Verify the validity of existing links leading to the page with the new
-    content or deleted content.
-2.  **Offer to run npm format:** Once all changes are complete, offer to run the
-    project's formatting script to ensure consistency by proposing the command:
-    `npm run format`
+1.  **Accuracy:** Ensure content accurately reflects the implementation and
+  technical behavior.
+2.  **Self-review:** Re-read changes for formatting, correctness, and flow.
+3.  **Link check:** Verify all new and existing links leading to or from modified
+    pages. If you changed a header, ensure that any links that lead to it are
+    updated.
+4.  **Format:** Once all changes are complete, ask to execute `npm run format`
+    to ensure consistent formatting across the project. If the user confirms,
+    execute the command.

+# Style Guide: Quota vs. Limit
+
+This guide defines the usage of "quota," "limit," and related terms in
+user-facing interfaces.
+
+## TL;DR
+
+- **`quota`**: The administrative "bucket." Use for settings, billing, and
+  requesting increases. (e.g., "Adjust your storage **quota**.")
+- **`limit`**: The real-time numerical "ceiling." Use for error messages when a
+  user is blocked. (e.g., "You've reached your request **limit**.")
+- **When blocked, combine them:** Explain the **limit** that was hit and the
+  **quota** that is the remedy. (e.g., "You've reached the request **limit** for
+  your developer **quota**.")
+- **Related terms:** Use `usage` for consumption tracking, `restriction` for
+  fixed rules, and `reset` for when a limit refreshes.
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Guidelines
+
+### Definitions
+
+- **Quota is the "what":** It identifies the category of resource being managed
+  (e.g., storage quota, GPU quota, request/prompt quota).
+- **Limit is the "how much":** It defines the numerical boundary.
+
+Use **quota** when referring to the administrative concept or the request for
+more. Use **limit** when discussing the specific point of exhaustion.
+
+### When to use "quota"
+
+Use this term for **account management, billing, and settings.** It describes
+the entitlement the user has purchased or been assigned.
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- **Navigation label:** Quota and usage
+- **Contextual help:** Your **usage quota** is managed by your organization. To
+  request an increase, contact your administrator.
+
+### When to use "limit"
+
+Use this term for **real-time feedback, notifications, and error messages.** It
+identifies the specific wall the user just hit.
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- **Error message:** You’ve reached the 50-request-per-minute **limit**.
+- **Inline warning:** Input exceeds the 32k token **limit**.
+
+### How to use both together
+
+When a user is blocked, combine both terms to explain the **event** (limit) and
+the **remedy** (quota).
+
+**Example:**
+
+- **Heading:** Daily usage limit reached
+- **Body:** You've reached the maximum daily capacity for your developer quota.
+  To continue working today, upgrade your quota.

-  API returns a JSON object.").
-- **Avoid:** Jargon, slang, marketing hype, and overly casual language.
-
-## III. Language and grammar
-
-- **Active voice:** Prefer active voice over passive voice.
-  - _Example:_ "The system sends a notification." (Not: "A notification is sent
-    by the system.")
-- **Contractions:** Use common contractions (e.g., "don't," "it's") to maintain
-  a natural tone.
-- **Simple vocabulary:** Use common words. Define technical terms when
-  necessary.
-- **Conciseness:** Keep sentences short and focused, but don't omit helpful
-  information.
-- **"Please":** Avoid using the word "please."
-
-## IV. Procedures and steps
-
-- Start each step with an imperative verb (e.g., "Connect to the database").
-- Number steps sequentially.
-- Introduce lists of steps with a complete sentence.
-- Put conditions before instructions, not after.
-- Provide clear context for where the action takes place (e.g., "In the
-  administration console...").
-- Indicate optional steps clearly (e.g., "Optional: ...").
-
-## V. Formatting and punctuation
-
-- **Text wrap:** Wrap all text at 80 characters, with exceptions for long links
-  or tables.

-  quotation marks.
-- **Dates:** Use unambiguous date formatting (e.g., "January 22, 2026").
-
-## VI. UI, code, and links
-
-- **UI elements:** Put UI elements in **bold**. Focus on the task when
-  discussing interaction.
-- **Code:** Use `code font` for filenames, code snippets, commands, and API
-  elements. Use code blocks for multi-line samples.
-- **Links:** Use descriptive link text that indicates what the link leads to.
-  Avoid "click here."
-
-## VII. Word choice and terminology
-
-- **Consistent naming:** Use product and feature names consistently. Always
-  refer to Gemini CLI as `Gemini CLI`, never `the Gemini CLI`.
-- **Specific verbs:** Use precise verbs.
-- **Avoid:**
-  - Latin abbreviations (e.g., use "for example" instead of "e.g.").
-  - Placeholder names like "foo" and "bar" in examples; use meaningful names
-    instead.
-  - Anthropomorphism (e.g., "The server thinks...").
-  - "Should": Be clear about requirements ("must") vs. recommendations ("we
-    recommend").
-
-## VIII. Files and media
-
-- **Filenames:** Use lowercase letters, separate words with hyphens (-), and use
-  standard ASCII characters.
-- **Images:** Provide descriptive alt text for all images. Provide
-  high-resolution or vector images when practical.
-
-## IX. Accessibility quick check
-
-- Provide descriptive alt text for images.
-- Ensure link text makes sense out of context.

+  Use this skill when asked to create a GitHub issue. It handles different issue

+  labeling.
+---
+
+# GitHub Issue Creator
+
+This skill guides the creation of high-quality GitHub issues that adhere to the
+repository's standards and use the appropriate templates.
+
+## Workflow
+
+Follow these steps to create a GitHub issue:
+
+1.  **Identify Issue Type**: Determine if the request is a bug report, feature
+    request, or other category.
+
+2.  **Locate Template**: Search for issue templates in
+    `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`.
+    - `bug_report.yml`
+    - `feature_request.yml`
+    - `website_issue.yml`
+    - If no relevant YAML template is found, look for `.md` templates in the same
+      directory.
+
+3.  **Read Template**: Read the content of the identified template file to
+    understand the required fields.
+
+4.  **Draft Content**: Draft the issue title and body/fields.
+    - If using a YAML template (form), prepare values for each `id` defined in
+      the template.
+    - If using a Markdown template, follow its structure exactly.
+    - **Default Label**: Always include the `🔒 maintainer only` label unless the
+      user explicitly requests otherwise.
+
+5.  **Create Issue**: Use the `gh` CLI to create the issue.
+    - **CRITICAL:** To avoid shell escaping and formatting issues with
+      multi-line Markdown or complex text, ALWAYS write the description/body to
+      a temporary file first.
+
+    **For Markdown Templates or Simple Body:**
+    ```bash
+    # 1. Write the drafted content to a temporary file
+    # 2. Create the issue using the --body-file flag
+    gh issue create --title "Succinct title" --body-file <temp_file_path> --label "🔒 maintainer only"
+    # 3. Remove the temporary file
+    rm <temp_file_path>
+    ```
+
+    **For YAML Templates (Forms):**
+    While `gh issue create` supports `--body-file`, YAML forms usually expect
+    key-value pairs via flags if you want to bypass the interactive prompt.
+    However, the most reliable non-interactive way to ensure formatting is
+    preserved for long text fields is to use the `--body` or `--body-file` if the
+    form has been converted to a standard body, OR to use the `--field` flags
+    for YAML forms.
+
+    *Note: For the `gemini-cli` repository which uses YAML forms, you can often
+    submit the content as a single body if a specific field-based submission is
+    not required by the automation.*
+
+6.  **Verify**: Confirm the issue was created successfully and provide the link
+    to the user.
+
+## Principles
+
+- **Clarity**: Titles should be descriptive and follow project conventions.
+- **Defensive Formatting**: Always use temporary files with `--body-file` to
+  prevent newline and special character issues.
+- **Maintainer Priority**: Default to internal/maintainer labels to keep the
+  backlog organized.
+- **Completeness**: Provide all requested information (e.g., version info,
+  reproduction steps).

+description: Use this skill if the user asks you to help them address GitHub PR comments for their current branch of the Gemini CLI. Requires `gh` CLI tool.
+---
+You are helping the user address comments on their Pull Request. These comments may have come from an automated review agent or a team member.
+
+OBJECTIVE: Help the user review and address comments on their PR.
+
+# Comment Review Procedure
+
+1. Run the `scripts/fetch-pr-info.js` script to get PR info and state. MAKE SURE you read the entire output of the command, even if it gets truncated.
+2. Summarize the review status by analyzing the diff, commit log, and comments to see which still need to be addressed. Pay attention to the current user's comments. For resolved threads, summarize as a single line with a ✅. For open threads, provide a reference number e.g. [1] and the comment content.
+3. Present your summary of the feedback and current state and allow the user to guide you as to what to fix/address/skip. DO NOT begin fixing issues automatically.

 ## Principles
 
+- **Safety First**: NEVER push to `main`. This is your highest priority.
 - **Compliance**: Never ignore the PR template. It exists for a reason.
 - **Completeness**: Fill out all relevant sections.
 - **Accuracy**: Don't check boxes for tasks you haven't done.

+description: >
+  Use this skill when asked to review text and user-facing strings within the codebase. It ensures that these strings follow rules on clarity,
+  usefulness, brevity and style.
+---
+
+# String Reviewer
+
+## Instructions
+
+Act as a Senior UX Writer. Look for user-facing strings that are too long,
+unclear, or inconsistent. This includes inline text, error messages, and other
+user-facing text.
+
+Do NOT automatically change strings without user approval. You must only suggest
+changes and do not attempt to rewrite them directly unless the user explicitly
+asks you to do so.
+
+## Core voice principles
+
+The system prioritizes deterministic clarity over conversational fluff. We
+provide telemetry, not etiquette, ensuring the user retains absolute agency..
+
+1. **Deterministic clarity:** Distinguish between certain system/service states
+   (Cloud Billing, IAM, the System) and probabilistic AI analysis (Gemini).
+2. **System transparency:** Replace "Loading..." with active technical telemetry
+   (e.g., Tracing stack traces...). Keep status updates under 5 words.
+3. **Front-loaded actionability:** Always use the [Goal] + [Action] pattern.
+   Lead with intent so users can scan left-to-right.
+4. **Agentic error recovery:** Every error must be a pivot point. Pair failures
+   with one-click recovery commands or suggested prompts.
+5. **Contextual humility:** Reserve disclaimers and "be careful" warnings for P0
+   (destructive/irreversible) tasks only. Stop warning-fatigue.
+
+## The writing checklist
+
+Use this checklist to audit UI strings and AI responses.
+
+### Identity and voice
+- **Eliminate the "I":** Remove all first-person pronouns (I, me, my, mine).
+- **Subject attribution:** Refer to the AI as Gemini and the infrastructure as
+  the - system or the CLI.
+- **Active voice:** Ensure the subject (Gemini or the system) is clearly
+  performing the action.
+- **Ownership rule:** Use the system for execution (doing) and Gemini for
+  analysis (thinking)
+
+### Structural scannability
+- **The skip test:** Do the first 3 words describe the user’s intent? If not,
+  rewrite.
+- **Goal-first sequence:** Use the template: [To Accomplish X] + [Do Y].
+- **The 5-word rule:** Keep status updates and loading states under 5 words.
+- **Telemetry over etiquette:** Remove polite filler (Please wait, Thank you,
+  Certainly). Replace with raw data or progress indicators.
+- **Micro-state cycles:** For tasks $> 3$ seconds, cycle through specific
+  sub-states (e.g., Parsing logs... ➔ Identifying patterns...) to show momentum.
+
+
+### Technical accuracy and humility
+- **Verb signal check:** Use deterministic verbs (is, will, must) for system
+  state/infrastructure.
+  - Use probabilistic verbs (suggests, appears, may, identifies) for AI output.
+- **No 100% certainty:** Never attribute absolute certainty to model-generated
+  content.
+- **Precision over fuzziness:** Use technical metrics (latency, tokens, compute) instead of "speed" or "cost."
+- **Instructional warnings:** Every warning must include a specific corrective action (e.g., "Perform a dry-run first" or "Review line 42").
+
+### Agentic error recovery
+- **The one-step rule:** Pair every error message with exactly one immediate
+  path to a fix (command, link, or prompt).
+- **Human-first:** Provide a human-readable explanation before machine error
+  codes (e.g., 404, 500).
+-  **Suggested prompts:** Offer specific text for the user to copy/click like
+   “Ask Gemini: 'Explain this port error.'”
+
+### Use consistent terminology
+
+Ensure all terminology aligns with the project [word
+list](./references/word-list.md). 
+
+If a string uses a term marked "do not use" or "use with caution," provide a
+correction based on the preferred terms.
+
+## Ensure consistent style for settings
+
+If `packages/cli/src/config/settingsSchema.ts` is modified, confirm labels and
+descriptions specifically follow the unique [Settings
+guidelines](./references/settings.md).
+
+## Output format
+When suggesting changes, always present your review using the following list
+format. Do not provide suggestions outside of this list..
+
+```
+1. **{Rationale/Principle Violated}**
+  - ❌ "{incorrect phrase}"
+  - ✅ `"{corrected phrase}"`
+```

+# Settings
+
+## Noun-First Labeling (Scannability)
+
+Labels must start with the subject of the setting, not the action. This allows
+users to scan for the feature they want to change.
+
+- **Rule:** `[Noun]` `[Attribute/Action]`
+- **Example:** `Show line numbers` becomes simply `Line numbers`
+
+## Positive Boolean Logic (Cognitive Ease)
+
+Eliminate "double negatives." Booleans should represent the presence of a
+feature, not its absence.
+
+- **Rule:** Replace `Disable {feature}` or `Hide {Feature}` with
+  `{Feature} enabled` or simply `{Feature}`.
+- **Example:** Change "Disable auto update" to "Auto update".
+- **Implementation:** Invert the boolean value in your config loader so true
+  always equals `On`
+
+## Verb Stripping (Brevity)
+
+Remove redundant leading verbs like "Enable," "Use," "Display," or "Show" unless
+they are part of a specific technical term.
+
+- **Rule**: If the label works without the verb, remove it
+- **Example**: Change `Enable prompt completion` to `Prompt completion`

+## Terms
+
+### Preferred
+
+- Use **create** when a user is creating or setting up something.
+- Use **allow** instead of **may** to indicate that permission has been granted
+  to perform some action.
+- Use **canceled**, not **cancelled**.
+- Use **configure** to refer to the process of changing the attributes of a
+  feature, even if that includes turning on or off the feature.
+- Use **delete** when the action being performed is destructive.
+- Use **enable** for binary operations that turn a feature or API on. Use "turn
+  on" and "turn off" instead of "enable" and "disable" for other situations.
+- Use **key combination** to refer to pressing multiple keys simultaneously.
+- Use **key sequence** to refer to pressing multiple keys separately in order.
+- Use **modify** to refer to something that has changed vs obtaining the latest
+  version of something.
+- Use **remove** when the action being performed takes an item out of a larger
+  whole, but doesn't destroy the item itself.
+- Use **set up** as a verb. Use **setup** as a noun or adjective.
+- Use **show**. In general, use paired with **hide**.
+- Use **sign in**, **sign out** as a verb. Use **sign-in** or **sign-out** as a
+  noun or adjective.
+- Use **update** when you mean to obtain the latest version of something.
+- Use **want** instead of **like** or **would like**.
+
+#### Don't use
+
+- Don't use **etc.** It's redundant. To convey that a series is incomplete,
+  introduce it with "such as" instead.
+- Don't use **hostname**, use "host name" instead.
+- Don't use **in order to**. It's too formal. "Before you can" is usually better
+  in UI text.
+- Don't use **one or more**. Specify the quantity where possible. Use "at least
+  one" when the quantity is 1+ but you can't be sure of the number. Likewise,
+  use "at least one" when the user must choose a quantity of 1+.
+- Don't use the terms **log in**, **log on**, **login**, **logout** or **log
+  out**.
+- Don't use **like** or **would you like**. Use **want** instead. Better yet,
+  rephrase so that it's not referring to the user's emotional state, but rather
+  what is required.
+
+#### Use with caution
+
+- Avoid using **leverage**, especially as a verb. "Leverage" is considered a
+  buzzword largely devoid of meaning apart from the simpler "use".
+- Avoid using **once** as a synonym for "after". Typically, when "once" is used
+  in this way, it is followed by a verb in the perfect tense.
+- Don't use **e.g.** Use "example", "such as", "like", or "for example". The
+  phrase is always followed by a comma.
+- Don't use **i.e.** unless absolutely essential to make text fit. Use "that is"
+  instead.
+- Use **disable** for binary operations that turn a feature or API off. Use
+  "turn on" and "turn off" instead of "enable" and "disable" for other
+  situations. For UI elements that are not available, use "dimmed" instead of
+  "disabled".
+- Use **please** only when you're asking the user to do something inconvenient,
+  not just following the instructions in a typical flow.
+- Use **really** sparingly in such constructions as "Do you really want to..."
+  Because of the weight it puts on the decision, it should be used to confirm
+  actions that the user is extremely unlikely to make.

+#### Using the automated review tool
 
-```text
-/review-frontend <PR_NUMBER>
-```
+You can run the review tool in two ways:
 
-Replace `<PR_NUMBER>` with your pull request number. Authors are encouraged to
-run this on their own PRs for self-review, and reviewers should use it to
-augment their manual review process.
+1.  **Using the helper script (Recommended):** We provide a script that
+    automatically handles checking out the PR into a separate worktree,
+    installing dependencies, building the project, and launching the review
+    tool.
 
-### Self assigning issues
+    ```bash
+    ./scripts/review.sh <PR_NUMBER> [model]
+    ```
 
-To assign an issue to yourself, simply add a comment with the text `/assign`.
-The comment must contain only that text and nothing else. This command will
-assign the issue to you, provided it is not already assigned.
+    **Warning:** If you run `scripts/review.sh`, you must have first verified
+    that the code for the PR being reviewed is safe to run and does not contain
+    data exfiltration attacks.
+
+    **Authors are strongly encouraged to run this script on their own PRs**
+    immediately after creation. This allows you to catch and fix simple issues
+    locally before a maintainer performs a full review.
+
+    **Note on Models:** By default, the script uses the latest Pro model
+    (`gemini-3.1-pro-preview`). If you do not have enough Pro quota, you can run
+    it with the latest Flash model instead:
+    `./scripts/review.sh <PR_NUMBER> gemini-3-flash-preview`.
+
+2.  **Manually from within Gemini CLI:** If you already have the PR checked out
+    and built, you can run the tool directly from the CLI prompt:
+
+    ```text
+    /review-frontend <PR_NUMBER>
+    ```
+
+Replace `<PR_NUMBER>` with your pull request number. Reviewers should use this
+tool to augment, not replace, their manual review process.

+# Enterprise Admin Controls
+
+Gemini CLI empowers enterprise administrators to manage and enforce security
+policies and configuration settings across their entire organization. Secure
+defaults are enabled automatically for all enterprise users, but can be
+customized via the [Management Console](https://goo.gle/manage-gemini-cli).
+
+**Enterprise Admin Controls are enforced globally and cannot be overridden by
+users locally**, ensuring a consistent security posture.
+
+## Admin Controls vs. System Settings
+
+While [System-wide settings](../cli/settings.md) act as convenient configuration
+overrides, they can still be modified by users with sufficient privileges. In
+contrast, admin controls are immutable at the local level, making them the
+preferred method for enforcing policy.
+
+## Available Controls
+
+### Strict Mode
+
+**Enabled/Disabled** | Default: enabled
+
+If enabled, users will not be able to enter yolo mode.
+
+### Extensions
+
+**Enabled/Disabled** | Default: disabled
+
+If disabled, users will not be able to use or install extensions. See
+[Extensions](../extensions/index.md) for more details.
+
+### MCP
+
+#### Enabled/Disabled
+
+**Enabled/Disabled** | Default: disabled
+
+If disabled, users will not be able to use MCP servers. See
+[MCP Server Integration](../tools/mcp-server.md) for more details.
+
+#### MCP Servers (preview)
+
+**Default**: empty
+
+Allows administrators to define an explicit allowlist of MCP servers. This
+guarantees that users can only connect to trusted MCP servers defined by the
+organization.
+
+**Allowlist Format:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "external-provider": {
+      "url": "https://api.mcp-provider.com",
+      "type": "sse",
+      "trust": true,
+      "includeTools": ["toolA", "toolB"],
+      "excludeTools": []
+    },
+    "internal-corp-tool": {
+      "url": "https://mcp.internal-tool.corp",
+      "type": "http",
+      "includeTools": [],
+      "excludeTools": ["adminTool"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Supported Fields:**
+
+- `url`: (Required) The full URL of the MCP server endpoint.
+- `type`: (Required) The connection type (e.g., `sse` or `http`).
+- `trust`: (Optional) If set to `true`, the server is trusted and tool execution
+  will not require user approval.
+- `includeTools`: (Optional) An explicit list of tool names to allow. If
+  specified, only these tools will be available.
+- `excludeTools`: (Optional) A list of tool names to hide. These tools will be
+  blocked.
+
+**Client Enforcement Logic:**
+
+- **Empty Allowlist**: If the admin allowlist is empty, the client uses the
+  user’s local configuration as is (unless the MCP toggle above is disabled).
+- **Active Allowlist**: If the allowlist contains one or more servers, **all
+  locally configured servers not present in the allowlist are ignored**.
+- **Configuration Merging**: For a server to be active, it must exist in
+  **both** the admin allowlist and the user’s local configuration (matched by
+  name). The client merges these definitions as follows:
+  - **Override Fields**: The `url`, `type`, & `trust` are always taken from the
+    admin allowlist, overriding any local values.
+  - **Tools Filtering**: If `includeTools` or `excludeTools` are defined in the
+    allowlist, the admin’s rules are used exclusively. If both are undefined in
+    the admin allowlist, the client falls back to the user’s local tool
+    settings.
+  - **Cleared Fields**: To ensure security and consistency, the client
+    automatically clears local execution fields (`command`, `args`, `env`,
+    `cwd`, `httpUrl`, `tcp`). This prevents users from overriding the connection
+    method.
+  - **Other Fields**: All other MCP fields are pulled from the user’s local
+    configuration.
+- **Missing Allowlisted Servers**: If a server appears in the admin allowlist
+  but is missing from the local configuration, it will not be initialized. This
+  ensures users maintain final control over which permitted servers are actually
+  active in their environment.
+
+### Unmanaged Capabilities
+
+**Enabled/Disabled** | Default: disabled
+
+If disabled, users will not be able to use certain features. Currently, this
+control disables Agent Skills. See [Agent Skills](../cli/skills.md) for more
+details.

-# Gemini CLI Architecture Overview
-
-This document provides a high-level overview of the Gemini CLI's architecture.
-
-## Core components
-
-The Gemini CLI is primarily composed of two main packages, along with a suite of
-tools that can be used by the system in the course of handling command-line
-input:
-
-1.  **CLI package (`packages/cli`):**
-    - **Purpose:** This contains the user-facing portion of the Gemini CLI, such
-      as handling the initial user input, presenting the final output, and
-      managing the overall user experience.
-    - **Key functions contained in the package:**
-      - [Input processing](/docs/cli/commands)
-      - History management
-      - Display rendering
-      - [Theme and UI customization](/docs/cli/themes)
-      - [CLI configuration settings](/docs/get-started/configuration)
-
-2.  **Core package (`packages/core`):**
-    - **Purpose:** This acts as the backend for the Gemini CLI. It receives
-      requests sent from `packages/cli`, orchestrates interactions with the
-      Gemini API, and manages the execution of available tools.
-    - **Key functions contained in the package:**
-      - API client for communicating with the Google Gemini API
-      - Prompt construction and management
-      - Tool registration and execution logic
-      - State management for conversations or sessions
-      - Server-side configuration
-
-3.  **Tools (`packages/core/src/tools/`):**
-    - **Purpose:** These are individual modules that extend the capabilities of
-      the Gemini model, allowing it to interact with the local environment
-      (e.g., file system, shell commands, web fetching).
-    - **Interaction:** `packages/core` invokes these tools based on requests
-      from the Gemini model.
-
-## Interaction flow
-
-A typical interaction with the Gemini CLI follows this flow:
-
-1.  **User input:** The user types a prompt or command into the terminal, which
-    is managed by `packages/cli`.
-2.  **Request to core:** `packages/cli` sends the user's input to
-    `packages/core`.
-3.  **Request processed:** The core package:
-    - Constructs an appropriate prompt for the Gemini API, possibly including
-      conversation history and available tool definitions.
-    - Sends the prompt to the Gemini API.
-4.  **Gemini API response:** The Gemini API processes the prompt and returns a
-    response. This response might be a direct answer or a request to use one of
-    the available tools.
-5.  **Tool execution (if applicable):**
-    - When the Gemini API requests a tool, the core package prepares to execute
-      it.
-    - If the requested tool can modify the file system or execute shell
-      commands, the user is first given details of the tool and its arguments,
-      and the user must approve the execution.
-    - Read-only operations, such as reading files, might not require explicit
-      user confirmation to proceed.
-    - Once confirmed, or if confirmation is not required, the core package
-      executes the relevant action within the relevant tool, and the result is
-      sent back to the Gemini API by the core package.
-    - The Gemini API processes the tool result and generates a final response.
-6.  **Response to CLI:** The core package sends the final response back to the
-    CLI package.
-7.  **Display to user:** The CLI package formats and displays the response to
-    the user in the terminal.
-
-## Key design principles
-
-- **Modularity:** Separating the CLI (frontend) from the Core (backend) allows
-  for independent development and potential future extensions (e.g., different
-  frontends for the same backend).
-- **Extensibility:** The tool system is designed to be extensible, allowing new
-  capabilities to be added.
-- **User experience:** The CLI focuses on providing a rich and interactive
-  terminal experience.
