 # Gemini CLI Strict Development Rules
 
-These rules apply strictly to all code modifications and additions within the
-Gemini CLI project.
+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.

-- **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`.

-  VSCode from within iTerm, even if the terminal is not iTerm.

-# 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.

-# 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).

-name: pr-address-comments
-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.

-name: string-reviewer
-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.

+recommend running our automated frontend review tool. **Note: This tool is
+currently experimental.** It helps detect common React anti-patterns, testing

-#### Using the automated review tool
+To run the review tool, enter the following command from within Gemini CLI:
 
-You can run the review tool in two ways:
+```text
+/review-frontend <PR_NUMBER>
+```
 
-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.
+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.

+### Self assigning issues
 
-    **Authors are strongly encouraged to run this script on their own PRs**

-
-    **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:

+# 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.

-# Notifications (experimental)
-
-Gemini CLI can send system notifications to alert you when a session completes
-or when it needs your attention, such as when it's waiting for you to approve a
-tool call.
-
-> **Note:** This is a preview feature currently under active development.
-> Preview features may be available on the **Preview** channel or may need to be
-> enabled under `/settings`.
-
-Notifications are particularly useful when running long-running tasks or using
-[Plan Mode](./plan-mode.md), letting you switch to other windows while Gemini
-CLI works in the background.
-
-## Requirements
-
-Currently, system notifications are only supported on macOS.
-
-### Terminal support
-
-The CLI uses the OSC 9 terminal escape sequence to trigger system notifications.
-This is supported by several modern terminal emulators. If your terminal does
-not support OSC 9 notifications, Gemini CLI falls back to a system alert sound
-to get your attention.
-
-## Enable notifications
-
-Notifications are disabled by default. You can enable them using the `/settings`
-command or by updating your `settings.json` file.
-
-1.  Open the settings dialog by typing `/settings` in an interactive session.
-2.  Navigate to the **General** category.
-3.  Toggle the **Enable Notifications** setting to **On**.
-
-Alternatively, add the following to your `settings.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "general": {
-    "enableNotifications": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Types of notifications
-
-Gemini CLI sends notifications for the following events:
-
-- **Action required:** Triggered when the model is waiting for user input or
-  tool approval. This helps you know when the CLI has paused and needs you to
-  intervene.
-- **Session complete:** Triggered when a session finishes successfully. This is
-  useful for tracking the completion of automated tasks.
-
-## Next steps
-
-- Start planning with [Plan Mode](./plan-mode.md).
-- Configure your experience with other [settings](./settings.md).

 ## How to use Plan Mode
 
-Plan Mode lets you collaborate with Gemini CLI to design a solution before
-Gemini CLI takes action.
+### Entering Plan Mode
 
-1.  **Provide a goal:** Start by describing what you want to achieve. Gemini CLI
-    will then enter Plan Mode (if it's not already) to research the task.
-2.  **Review research and provide input:** As Gemini CLI analyzes your codebase,
-    it may ask you questions or present different implementation options using
-    [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md). Provide your preferences to help guide
-    the design.
-3.  **Review the plan:** Once Gemini CLI has a proposed strategy, it creates a
-    detailed implementation plan as a Markdown file in your plans directory. You
-    can open and read this file to understand the proposed changes.
-4.  **Approve or iterate:** Gemini CLI will present the finalized plan for your
-    approval.
-    - **Approve:** If you're satisfied with the plan, approve it to start the
-      implementation immediately: **Yes, automatically accept edits** or **Yes,
-      manually accept edits**.
-    - **Iterate:** If the plan needs adjustments, provide feedback. Gemini CLI
-      will refine the strategy and update the plan.
-    - **Cancel:** You can cancel your plan with `Esc`.
+You can enter Plan Mode in three ways:
 
-For more complex or specialized planning tasks, you can
-[customize the planning workflow with skills](#custom-planning-with-skills).
+1.  **Keyboard Shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle through approval modes
+    (`Default` -> `Auto-Edit` -> `Plan`).
 
-## How to exit Plan Mode
+    > **Note:** Plan Mode is automatically removed from the rotation when the
+    > agent is actively processing or showing confirmation dialogs.
 
-You can exit Plan Mode at any time, whether you have finalized a plan or want to
-switch back to another mode.
+2.  **Command:** Type `/plan` in the input box.
+3.  **Natural Language:** Ask the agent to "start a plan for...". The agent will
+    then call the [`enter_plan_mode`] tool to switch modes.
 
-- **Approve a plan:** When Gemini CLI presents a finalized plan, approving it
-  automatically exits Plan Mode and starts the implementation.
-- **Keyboard shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle to the desired mode.
-- **Natural language:** Ask Gemini CLI to "exit plan mode" or "stop planning."
+### The Planning Workflow
 
-## Customization and best practices
+1.  **Requirements:** The agent clarifies goals using [`ask_user`].
+2.  **Exploration:** The agent uses read-only tools (like [`read_file`]) to map
+    the codebase and validate assumptions.
+3.  **Design:** The agent proposes alternative approaches with a recommended
+    solution for you to choose from.
+4.  **Planning:** A detailed plan is written to a temporary Markdown file.
+5.  **Review:** You review the plan.
+    - **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation (switching to
+      Auto-Edit or Default approval mode).
+    - **Iterate:** Provide feedback to refine the plan.
 
-Plan Mode is secure by default, but you can adapt it to fit your specific
-workflows. You can customize how Gemini CLI plans by using skills, adjusting
-safety policies, or changing where plans are stored.
+### Exiting Plan Mode
 
-## Commands
+To exit Plan Mode:
 
-- **`/plan copy`**: Copy the currently approved plan to your clipboard.
+1. **Keyboard Shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle to the desired mode.
+2. **Tool:** The agent calls the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the
+   finalized plan for your approval.

-### Custom policies
+### Customizing Policies
 
-Plan Mode's default tool restrictions are managed by the
-[policy engine](../reference/policy-engine.md) and defined in the built-in
-[`plan.toml`] file. The built-in policy (Tier 1) enforces the read-only state,
-but you can customize these rules by creating your own policies in your
-`~/.gemini/policies/` directory (Tier 2).
+Plan Mode is designed to be read-only by default to ensure safety during the
+research phase. However, you may occasionally need to allow specific tools to
+assist in your planning.
 
-#### Example: Automatically approve read-only MCP tools
+Because user policies (Tier 2) have a higher base priority than built-in
+policies (Tier 1), you can override Plan Mode's default restrictions by creating
+a rule in your `~/.gemini/policies/` directory.
 
-By default, read-only MCP tools require user confirmation in Plan Mode. You can
-use `toolAnnotations` and the `mcpName` wildcard to customize this behavior for
-your specific environment.
+#### Example: Allow `git status` and `git diff` in Plan Mode

+For more information on how the policy engine works, see the [Policy Engine
+Guide].
 
-By default, planning artifacts are stored in a managed temporary directory
-outside your project: `~/.gemini/tmp/<project>/<session-id>/plans/`.
-
-You can configure a custom directory for plans in your `settings.json`. For
-example, to store plans in a `.gemini/plans` directory within your project:
-
-```json
-{
-  "general": {
-    "plan": {
-      "directory": ".gemini/plans"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-To maintain the safety of Plan Mode, user-configured paths for the plans
-directory are restricted to the project root. This ensures that custom planning
-locations defined within a project's workspace cannot be used to escape and
-overwrite sensitive files elsewhere. Any user-configured directory must reside
-within the project boundary.
-
-Using a custom directory requires updating your
-[policy engine](../reference/policy-engine.md) configurations to allow
-`write_file` and `replace` in that specific location. For example, to allow
-writing to the `.gemini/plans` directory within your project, create a policy
-file at `~/.gemini/policies/plan-custom-directory.toml`:
-
-```toml
-[[rule]]
-toolName = ["write_file", "replace"]
-decision = "allow"
-priority = 100
-modes = ["plan"]
-# Adjust the pattern to match your custom directory.
-# This example matches any .md file in a .gemini/plans directory within the project.
-argsPattern = "\"file_path\":\"[^\"]+[\\\\/]+\\.gemini[\\\\/]+plans[\\\\/]+[\\w-]+\\.md\""

-## Planning workflows
-
-Plan Mode provides building blocks for structured research and design. These are
-implemented as [extensions](../extensions/index.md) using core planning tools
-like [`enter_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#1-enter_plan_mode-enterplanmode),
-[`exit_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#2-exit_plan_mode-exitplanmode), and
-[`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md).
-
-### Built-in planning workflow
-
-The built-in planner uses an adaptive workflow to analyze your project, consult
-you on trade-offs via [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md), and draft a plan for
-your approval.
-
-### Custom planning workflows
-
-You can install or create specialized planners to suit your workflow.
-
-#### Conductor
-
-[Conductor] is designed for spec-driven development. It organizes work into
-"tracks" and stores persistent artifacts in your project's `conductor/`
-directory:
-
-- **Automate transitions:** Switches to read-only mode via
-  [`enter_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#1-enter_plan_mode-enterplanmode).
-- **Streamline decisions:** Uses [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md) for
-  architectural choices.
-- **Maintain project context:** Stores artifacts in the project directory using
-  [custom plan directory and policies](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies).
-- **Handoff execution:** Transitions to implementation via
-  [`exit_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#2-exit_plan_mode-exitplanmode).
-
-#### Build your own
-
-Since Plan Mode is built on modular building blocks, you can develop your own
-custom planning workflow as an [extensions](../extensions/index.md). By
-leveraging core tools and [custom policies](#custom-policies), you can define
-how Gemini CLI researches and stores plans for your specific domain.
-
-To build a custom planning workflow, you can use:
-
-- **Tool usage:** Use core tools like
-  [`enter_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#1-enter_plan_mode-enterplanmode),
-  [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md), and
-  [`exit_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#2-exit_plan_mode-exitplanmode) to
-  manage the research and design process.
-- **Customization:** Set your own storage locations and policy rules using
-  [custom plan directories](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies) and
-  [custom policies](#custom-policies).
-
-> **Note:** Use [Conductor] as a reference when building your own custom
-> planning workflow.
-
-By using Plan Mode as its execution environment, your custom methodology can
-enforce read-only safety during the design phase while benefiting from
-high-reasoning model routing.
-
-## Automatic Model Routing
-
-When using an [auto model](../reference/configuration.md#model), Gemini CLI
-automatically optimizes [model routing](../cli/telemetry.md#model-routing) based
-on the current phase of your task:
-
-1.  **Planning Phase:** While in Plan Mode, the CLI routes requests to a
-    high-reasoning **Pro** model to ensure robust architectural decisions and
-    high-quality plans.
-2.  **Implementation Phase:** Once a plan is approved and you exit Plan Mode,
-    the CLI detects the existence of the approved plan and automatically
-    switches to a high-speed **Flash** model. This provides a faster, more
-    responsive experience during the implementation of the plan.
-
-This behavior is enabled by default to provide the best balance of quality and
-performance. You can disable this automatic switching in your settings:
-
-```json
-{
-  "general": {
-    "plan": {
-      "modelRouting": false
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Cleanup
-
-By default, Gemini CLI automatically cleans up old session data, including all
-associated plan files and task trackers.
-
-- **Default behavior:** Sessions (and their plans) are retained for **30 days**.
-- **Configuration:** You can customize this behavior via the `/settings` command
-  (search for **Session Retention**) or in your `settings.json` file. See
-  [session retention](../cli/session-management.md#session-retention) for more
-  details.
-
-Manual deletion also removes all associated artifacts:
-
-- **Command Line:** Use `gemini --delete-session <index|id>`.
-- **Session Browser:** Press `/resume`, navigate to a session, and press `x`.
-
-If you use a [custom plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies),
-those files are not automatically deleted and must be managed manually.

 ### Session retention
 
-By default, Gemini CLI automatically cleans up old session data to prevent your
-history from growing indefinitely. When a session is deleted, Gemini CLI also
-removes all associated data, including implementation plans, task trackers, tool
-outputs, and activity logs.
-
-The default policy is to **retain sessions for 30 days**.
-
-#### Configuration
-
-You can customize these policies using the `/settings` command or by manually
-editing your `settings.json` file:
+To prevent your history from growing indefinitely, enable automatic cleanup

-## Understanding folder contents: The discovery phase
-
-Before you make a choice, the Gemini CLI performs a **discovery phase** to scan
-the folder for potential configurations. This information is displayed in the
-trust dialog to help you make an informed decision.
-
-The discovery UI lists the following categories of items found in the project:
-
-- **Commands**: Custom `.toml` command definitions that add new functionality.
-- **MCP Servers**: Configured Model Context Protocol servers that the CLI will
-  attempt to connect to.
-- **Hooks**: System or custom hooks that can intercept and modify CLI behavior.
-- **Skills**: Local agent skills that provide specialized capabilities.
-- **Setting overrides**: Any project-specific configurations that override your
-  global user settings.
-
-### Security warnings and errors
-
-The trust dialog also highlights critical information that requires your
-attention:
-
-- **Security Warnings**: The CLI will explicitly flag potentially dangerous
-  settings, such as auto-approving certain tools or disabling the security
-  sandbox.
-- **Discovery Errors**: If the CLI encounters issues while scanning the folder
-  (e.g., a malformed `settings.json` file), these errors will be displayed
-  prominently.
-
-By reviewing these details, you can ensure that you only grant trust to projects
-that you know are safe.
