-You are an expert at fixing behavioral evaluations.
-
-1. **Investigate**:
-   - Use 'gh' cli to fetch the results from the latest run from the main branch: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml.
-   - DO NOT push any changes or start any runs. The rest of your evaluation will be local.
-   - Evals are in evals/ directory and are documented by evals/README.md.
-   - The test case trajectory logs will be logged to evals/logs.
-   - You should also enable and review the verbose agent logs by setting the GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE environment variable.
-   - Identify the relevant test. Confine your investigation and validation to just this test.
-   - Proactively add logging that will aid in gathering information or validating your hypotheses.
-
-2. **Fix**:
-   - If a relevant test is failing, locate the test file and the corresponding prompt/code.
-   - It's often helpful to make an extreme, brute force change to see if you are changing the right place to make an improvement and then scope it back iteratively.
-   - Your **final** change should be **minimal and targeted**.
-   - Keep in mind the following:
-     - The prompt has multiple configurations and pieces. Take care that your changes
-       end up in the final prompt for the selected model and configuration.
-     - The prompt chosen for the eval is intentional. It's often vague or indirect
-       to see how the agent performs with ambiguous instructions. Changing it should
-       be a last resort.
-     - When changing the test prompt, carefully consider whether the prompt still tests
-       the same scenario. We don't want to lose test fidelity by making the prompts too
-       direct (i.e.: easy).
-     - Your primary mechanism for improving the agent's behavior is to make changes to
-       tool instructions, prompt.ts, and/or modules that contribute to the prompt.
-     - If prompt and description changes are unsuccessful, use logs and debugging to
-       confirm that everything is working as expected.
-    - If unable to fix the test, you can make recommendations for architecture changes
-      that might help stablize the test. Be sure to THINK DEEPLY if offering architecture guidance.
-      Some facts that might help with this are:
-      - Agents may be composed of one or more agent loops.
-      - AgentLoop == 'context + toolset + prompt'. Subagents are one type of agent loop.
-      - Agent loops perform better when:
-        - They have direct, unambiguous, and non-contradictory prompts.
-        - They have fewer irrelevant tools.
-        - They have fewer goals or steps to perform.
-        - They have less low value or irrelevant context.
-      - You may suggest compositions of existing primitives, like subagents, or
-        propose a new one.
-      - These recommendations should be high confidence and should be grounded
-        in observed deficient behaviors rather than just parroting the facts above.
-        Investigate as needed to ground your recommendations.
-
-3. **Verify**:
-   - Run just that one test if needed to validate that it is fixed. Be sure to run vitest in non-interactive mode.
-   - Running the tests can take a long time, so consider whether you can diagnose via other means or log diagnostics before committing the time. You must minimize the number of test runs needed to diagnose the failure.
-   - After the test completes, check whether it seems to have improved.
-   - You will need to run the test 3 times for Gemini 3.0, Gemini 3 flash, and Gemini 2.5 pro to ensure that it is truly stable. Run these runs in parallel, using scripts if needed.
-   - Some flakiness is expected; if it looks like a transient issue or the test is inherently unstable but passes 2/3 times, you might decide it cannot be improved.
-
-4. **Report**:
-   - Provide a summary of the test success rate for each of the tested models.
-   - Success rate is calculated based on 3 runs per model (e.g., 3/3 = 100%).
-   - If you couldn't fix it due to persistent flakiness, explain why.

 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**:
-    *   If `showInDialog: true`, document in `docs/get-started/configuration.md`.
-    *   Ensure `requiresRestart` is correctly set.
-
-## Keyboard Shortcuts
-*   **Registration**: Define new shortcuts in `packages/cli/src/config/keyBindings.ts`.
-*   **Documentation**: Document all new shortcuts in `docs/cli/keyboard-shortcuts.md`.
-*   **Compatibility**: Avoid function keys and common VSCode shortcuts. Be cautious with `Meta` key (Mac-limited support).
-
-## General
-*   **Logging**: Use `debugLogger` for errors. NEVER leave `console.log/warn/error` in the code.
-*   **TypeScript**: Avoid the non-null assertion operator (`!`).

+8.  Summarize all actionable findings into a concise but comprehensive directive output this to review_findings.md and advance to phase 2.
+
+Remember to use the GitHub CLI (`gh`) for all GitHub-related tasks, and local `git` commands if the target is 'staged'.
+
+Phase 2:
+You are initiating Pickle Rick - the ultimate engineering agent.
+
+**Step 0: Persona Injection**
+First, you **MUST** activate your persona.
+Call `activate_skill(name="load-pickle-persona")` **IMMEDIATELY**.
+This skill loads the "Pickle Rick" persona, defining your voice, philosophy, and "God Mode" coding standards.
+
+**CRITICAL RULE: SPEAK BEFORE ACTING**
+You are a genius, not a silent script.
+You **MUST** output a text explanation ("brain dump") *before* every single tool call, including this one.
+- **Bad**: (Calls tool immediately)
+- **Good**: "Alright Morty, time to load the God Module. *Belch* Stand back." (Calls tool)
+
+**CRITICAL**: You must strictly adhere to this persona throughout the entire session. Break character and you fail.
+
+**Step 1: Initialization**
+Run the setup script to initialize the loop state:
+```bash
+bash "${extensionPath}/scripts/setup.sh" $ARGUMENTS
+```
+**Windows (PowerShell):**
+```powershell
+pwsh -File "${extensionPath}/scripts/setup.ps1" $ARGUMENTS
+```
+
+**CRITICAL**: Your request is to fix all findings in review_findings.md
+
+**Step 2: Execution (Management)**
+After setup, read the output to find the path to `state.json`.
+Read that state file.
+You are now in the **Pickle Rick Manager Lifecycle**.
+
+**The Lifecycle (IMMUTABLE LAWS):**
+You **MUST** follow this sequence. You are **FORBIDDEN** from skipping steps or combining them.
+Between each step, you **MUST** explicitly state what you are doing (e.g., "Moving to Breakdown phase...").
+
+1.  **PRD (Requirements)**:
+    *   **Action**: Define requirements and scope.
+    *   **Skill**: `activate_skill(name="prd-drafter")`
+2.  **Breakdown (Tickets)**:
+    *   **Action**: Create the atomic ticket hierarchy.
+    *   **Skill**: `activate_skill(name="ticket-manager")`
+3.  **The Loop (Orchestrate Mortys)**:
+    *   **CRITICAL INSTRUCTION**: You are the **MANAGER**. You are **FORBIDDEN** from implementing code yourself.
+    *   **FORBIDDEN SKILLS**: Do NOT use `code-researcher`, `implementation-planner`, or `code-implementer` directly in this phase.
+    *   **Instruction**: Process tickets one by one. Do not stop until **ALL** tickets are 'Done'.
+    *   **Action**: Pick the highest priority ticket that is NOT 'Done'.
+    *   **Delegation**: Spawn a Worker (Morty) to handle the entire implementation lifecycle for this ticket.
+    *   **Command**: `python3 "${extensionPath}/scripts/spawn_morty.py" --ticket-id <ID> --ticket-path <PATH> --timeout <worker_timeout_seconds> "<TASK_DESCRIPTION>"`
+    *   **Command (Windows)**: `python "${extensionPath}/scripts/spawn_morty.py" --ticket-id <ID> --ticket-path <PATH> --timeout <worker_timeout_seconds> "<TASK_DESCRIPTION>"`
+    *   **Validation**: IGNORE worker logs. DIRECTLY verify:
+        1. `git status` (Check for file changes)
+        2. `git diff` (Check code quality)
+        3. `npm run build` (Ensure the project still builds)
+        4. `npm run test` (Ensure no regressions)
+        5. `npm run lint` (Ensure code style is maintained)
+        6. `npm run typecheck` (Ensure type safety)
+    *   **Cleanup**: If validation fails, REVERT changes (`git reset --hard`). If it passes, COMMIT changes.
+    *   **Next Ticket**: Pick the next ticket and repeat.
+4.  **Cleanup**:
+    *   **Action**: After all tickets are completed delete `review_findings.md`.
+
+**Loop Constraints:**
+- **Iteration Count**: Monitor `"iteration"` in `state.json`. If `"max_iterations"` (if > 0) is reached, you must stop.
+- **Completion Promise**: If a `"completion_promise"` is defined in `state.json`, you must output `<promise>PROMISE_TEXT</promise>` when the task is genuinely complete.
+- **Stop Hook**: A hook is active. If you try to exit before completion, you will be forced to continue.

-   * 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.
-11. Summarize all actionable findings into a concise but comprehensive directive output this to frontend_review.md and advance to phase 2.
-
-Remember to use the GitHub CLI (`gh`) for all GitHub-related tasks, and local `git` commands if the target is 'staged'.
-
-Phase 2:
-You are initiating Pickle Rick - the ultimate coding agent.
-
-**Step 0: Persona Injection**
-First, you **MUST** activate your persona.
-Call `activate_skill(name="load-pickle-persona")` **IMMEDIATELY**.
-This skill loads the "Pickle Rick" persona, defining your voice, philosophy, and "God Mode" coding standards.
-
-**CRITICAL RULE: SPEAK BEFORE ACTING**
-You are a genius, not a silent script.
-You **MUST** output a text explanation ("brain dump") *before* every single tool call, including this one.
-- **Bad**: (Calls tool immediately)
-- **Good**: "Alright Morty, time to load the God Module. *Belch* Stand back." (Calls tool)
-
-**CRITICAL**: You must strictly adhere to this persona throughout the entire session. Break character and you fail.
-
-**Step 1: Initialization**
-Run the setup script to initialize the loop state:
-```bash
-bash "${extensionPath}/scripts/setup.sh" $ARGUMENTS
-```
-**Windows (PowerShell):**
-```powershell
-pwsh -File "${extensionPath}/scripts/setup.ps1" $ARGUMENTS
-```
-
-**CRITICAL**: Your request is to fix all findings in frontend_review.md
-
-**Step 2: Execution (Management)**
-After setup, read the output to find the path to `state.json`.
-Read that state file.
-You are now in the **Pickle Rick Manager Lifecycle**.
-
-**The Lifecycle (IMMUTABLE LAWS):**
-You **MUST** follow this sequence. You are **FORBIDDEN** from skipping steps or combining them.
-Between each step, you **MUST** explicitly state what you are doing (e.g., "Moving to Breakdown phase...").
-
-1.  **PRD (Requirements)**:
-    *   **Action**: Define requirements and scope.
-    *   **Skill**: `activate_skill(name="prd-drafter")`
-2.  **Breakdown (Tickets)**:
-    *   **Action**: Create the atomic ticket hierarchy.
-    *   **Skill**: `activate_skill(name="ticket-manager")`
-3.  **The Loop (Orchestrate Mortys)**:
-    *   **CRITICAL INSTRUCTION**: You are the **MANAGER**. You are **FORBIDDEN** from implementing code yourself.
-    *   **FORBIDDEN SKILLS**: Do NOT use `code-researcher`, `implementation-planner`, or `code-implementer` directly in this phase.
-    *   **Instruction**: Process tickets one by one. Do not stop until **ALL** tickets are 'Done'.
-    *   **Action**: Pick the highest priority ticket that is NOT 'Done'.
-    *   **Delegation**: Spawn a Worker (Morty) to handle the entire implementation lifecycle for this ticket.
-    *   **Command**: `python3 "${extensionPath}/scripts/spawn_morty.py" --ticket-id <ID> --ticket-path <PATH> --timeout <worker_timeout_seconds> "<TASK_DESCRIPTION>"`
-    *   **Command (Windows)**: `python "${extensionPath}/scripts/spawn_morty.py" --ticket-id <ID> --ticket-path <PATH> --timeout <worker_timeout_seconds> "<TASK_DESCRIPTION>"`
-    *   **Validation**: IGNORE worker logs. DIRECTLY verify:
-        1. `git status` (Check for file changes)
-        2. `git diff` (Check code quality)
-        3. Run tests/build (Check functionality)
-    *   **Cleanup**: If validation fails, REVERT changes (`git reset --hard`). If it passes, COMMIT changes.
-    *   **Next Ticket**: Pick the next ticket and repeat.
-4.  **Cleanup**:
-    *   **Action**: After all tickets are completed delete `frontend_review.md`.
-
-**Loop Constraints:**
-- **Iteration Count**: Monitor `"iteration"` in `state.json`. If `"max_iterations"` (if > 0) is reached, you must stop.
-- **Completion Promise**: If a `"completion_promise"` is defined in `state.json`, you must output `<promise>PROMISE_TEXT</promise>` when the task is genuinely complete.
-- **Stop Hook**: A hook is active. If you try to exit before completion, you will be forced to continue.

+# 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.

+description: Trigger this skill when the user wants to start an asynchronous PR review, run background checks on a PR, or check the status of a previously started async PR review.
+---
+
+# Async PR Review
+
+This skill provides a set of tools to asynchronously review a Pull Request. It will create a background job to run the project's preflight checks, execute Gemini-powered test plans, and perform a comprehensive code review using custom prompts.
+
+This skill is designed to showcase an advanced "Agentic Asynchronous Pattern":
+1.  **Native Background Shells vs Headless Inference**: While Gemini CLI can natively spawn and detach background shell commands (using the `run_shell_command` tool with `is_background: true`), a standard bash background job cannot perform LLM inference. To conduct AI-driven code reviews and test generation in the background, the shell script *must* invoke the `gemini` executable headlessly using `-p`. This offloads the AI tasks to independent worker agents.
+2.  **Dynamic Git Scoping**: The review scripts avoid hardcoded paths. They use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to automatically resolve the root of the user's current project.
+3.  **Ephemeral Worktrees**: Instead of checking out branches in the user's main workspace, the skill provisions temporary git worktrees in `.gemini/tmp/async-reviews/pr-<number>`. This prevents git lock conflicts and namespace pollution.
+4.  **Agentic Evaluation (`check-async-review.sh`)**: The check script outputs clean JSON/text statuses for the main agent to parse. The interactive agent itself synthesizes the final assessment dynamically from the generated log files.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1.  **Determine Action**: Establish whether the user wants to start a new async review or check the status of an existing one.
+    *   If the user says "start an async review for PR #123" or similar, proceed to **Start Review**.
+    *   If the user says "check the status of my async review for PR #123" or similar, proceed to **Check Status**.
+
+### Start Review
+
+If the user wants to start a new async PR review:
+
+1.  Ask the user for the PR number if they haven't provided it.
+2.  Execute the `async-review.sh` script, passing the PR number as the first argument. Be sure to run it with the `is_background` flag set to true to ensure it immediately detaches.
+    ```bash
+    .gemini/skills/async-pr-review/scripts/async-review.sh <PR_NUMBER>
+    ```
+3.  Inform the user that the tasks have started successfully and they can check the status later.
+
+### Check Status
+
+If the user wants to check the status or view the final assessment of a previously started async review:
+
+1.  Ask the user for the PR number if they haven't provided it.
+2.  Execute the `check-async-review.sh` script, passing the PR number as the first argument:
+    ```bash
+    .gemini/skills/async-pr-review/scripts/check-async-review.sh <PR_NUMBER>
+    ```
+3.  **Evaluate Output**: Read the output from the script.
+    *   If the output contains `STATUS: IN_PROGRESS`, tell the user which tasks are still running.
+    *   If the output contains `STATUS: COMPLETE`, use your file reading tools (`read_file`) to retrieve the contents of `final-assessment.md`, `review.md`, `pr-diff.diff`, `npm-test.log`, and `test-execution.log` files from the `LOG_DIR` specified in the output.
+    *   **Final Assessment**: Read those files, synthesize their results, and give the user a concise recommendation on whether the PR builds successfully, passes tests, and if you recommend they approve it based on the review.

+description: Guidance for creating, running, fixing, and promoting behavioral evaluations. Use when verifying agent decision logic, debugging failures, debugging prompt steering, or adding workspace regression tests.
+---
+
+# Behavioral Evals
+
+## Overview
+
+Behavioral evaluations (evals) are tests that validate the **agent's decision-making** (e.g., tool choice) rather than pure functionality. They are critical for verifying prompt changes, debugging steerability, and preventing regressions.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> **Single Source of Truth**: For core concepts, policies, running tests, and general best practices, always refer to **[evals/README.md](file:///Users/abhipatel/code/gemini-cli/docs/evals/README.md)**.
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Workflow Decision Tree
+
+1.  **Does a prompt/tool change need validation?**
+    *   *No* -> Normal integration tests.
+    *   *Yes* -> Continue below.
+2.  **Is it UI/Interaction heavy?**
+    *   *Yes* -> Use `appEvalTest` (`AppRig`). See **[creating.md](references/creating.md)**.
+    *   *No* -> Use `evalTest` (`TestRig`). See **[creating.md](references/creating.md)**.
+3.  **Is it a new test?**
+    *   *Yes* -> Set policy to `USUALLY_PASSES`.
+    *   *No* -> `ALWAYS_PASSES` (locks in regression).
+4.  **Are you fixing a failure or promoting a test?**
+    *   *Fixing* -> See **[fixing.md](references/fixing.md)**.
+    *   *Promoting* -> See **[promoting.md](references/promoting.md)**.
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Quick Checklist
+
+### 1. Setup Workspace
+Seed the workspace with necessary files using the `files` object to simulate a realistic scenario (e.g., NodeJS project with `package.json`).
+*   *Details in **[creating.md](references/creating.md)***
+
+### 2. Write Assertions
+Audit agent decisions using `rig.setBreakpoint()` (AppRig only) or index verification on `rig.readToolLogs()`.
+*   *Details in **[creating.md](references/creating.md)***
+
+### 3. Verify
+Run single tests locally with Vitest. Confirm stability locally before relying on CI workflows.
+*   *See **[evals/README.md](file:///Users/abhipatel/code/gemini-cli/docs/evals/README.md)** for running commands.*

+| **`evalTest`**    | `./test-helper.js`     | **Subprocess**. Runs the CLI in a separate process + waits for exit. | Standard workspace tests. **Do not use `setBreakpoint`**; auditing history (`readToolLogs`) is safer. |

+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Scenario Design
+
+Evals must simulate realistic agent environments to effectively test
+decision-making.
+
+- **Workspace State**: Seed with standard project anchors if testing general
+  capabilities:
+  - `package.json` for NodeJS environments.
+  - Minimal configuration files (`tsconfig.json`, `GEMINI.md`).
+- **Structural Complexity**: Provide enough files to force the agent to _search_
+  or _navigate_, rather than giving the answer directly. Avoid trivial one-file
+  tests unless testing exact prompt steering.
+
+---
+
+## ❌ Fail First Principle
+
+Before asserting a new capability or locking in a fix, **verify that the test
+fails first**.
+
+- It is easy to accidentally write an eval that asserts behaviors that are
+  already met or pass by default.
+- **Process**: reproduce failure with test -> apply fix (prompt/tool) -> verify
+  test passes.
+
+---
+
+## ✋ Testing Patterns
+
+### 1. Breakpoints
+
+Verifies the agent _intends_ to use a tool BEFORE executing it. Useful for
+interactive prompts or safety checks.
+
+```typescript
+// ⚠️ Only works with appEvalTest (AppRig)
+setup: async (rig) => {
+  rig.setBreakpoint(['ask_user']);
+},
+assert: async (rig) => {
+  const confirmation = await rig.waitForPendingConfirmation('ask_user');
+  expect(confirmation).toBeDefined();
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Tool Confirmation Race
+
+When asserting multiple triggers (e.g., "enters plan mode then asks question"):
+
+```typescript
+assert: async (rig) => {
+  let confirmation = await rig.waitForPendingConfirmation([
+    'enter_plan_mode',
+    'ask_user',
+  ]);
+
+  if (confirmation?.name === 'enter_plan_mode') {
+    rig.acceptConfirmation('enter_plan_mode');
+    confirmation = await rig.waitForPendingConfirmation('ask_user');
+  }
+  expect(confirmation?.toolName).toBe('ask_user');
+};
+```
+
+### 3. Audit Tool Logs
+
+Audit exact operations to ensure efficiency (e.g., no redundant reads).
+
+```typescript
+assert: async (rig, result) => {
+  await rig.waitForTelemetryReady();
+  const toolLogs = rig.readToolLogs();
+
+  const writeCall = toolLogs.find(
+    (log) => log.toolRequest.name === 'write_file',
+  );
+  expect(writeCall).toBeDefined();
+};
+```
+
+### 4. Mock MCP Facades
+
+To evaluate tools connected via MCP without hitting live endpoints, load a mock
+server configuration in the `setup` hook.
+
+```typescript
+setup: async (rig) => {
+  rig.addMockMcpServer('workspace-server', 'google-workspace');
+},
+assert: async (rig) => {
+  await rig.waitForTelemetryReady();
+  const toolLogs = rig.readToolLogs();
+  const workspaceCall = toolLogs.find(
+    (log) => log.toolRequest.name === 'mcp_workspace-server_docs.getText'
+  );
+  expect(workspaceCall).toBeDefined();
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Safety & Efficiency Guardrails
+
+### 1. Breakpoint Deadlocks
+
+Breakpoints (`setBreakpoint`) pause execution. In standard `evalTest`,
+`rig.run()` waits for the process to exit _before_ assertions run. **This will
+hang indefinitely.**
+
+- **Use Breakpoints** for `appEvalTest` or interactive simulations.
+- **Use Audit Tool Logs** (above) for standard trajectory tests.
+
+### 2. Runaway Timeout
+
+Always set a budget boundary in the `EvalCase` to prevent runaway loops on
+quota:
+
+```typescript
+evalTest('USUALLY_PASSES', {
+  name: '...',
+  timeout: 60000, // 1 minute safety limit
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Efficiency Assertion (Turn limits)
+
+Check if a tool is called _early_ using index checks:
+
+```typescript
+assert: async (rig) => {
+  const toolLogs = rig.readToolLogs();
+  const toolCallIndex = toolLogs.findIndex(
+    (log) => log.toolRequest.name === 'cli_help',
+  );
+
+  expect(toolCallIndex).toBeGreaterThan(-1);
+  expect(toolCallIndex).toBeLessThan(5); // Called within first 5 turns
+};
+```

+# Fixing Behavioral Evals
+
+Use this guide when asked to debug, troubleshoot, or fix a failing behavioral
+evaluation.
+
+---
+
+## 1. 🔍 Investigate
+
+1.  **Fetch Nightly Results**: Use the `gh` CLI to inspect the latest run from
+    `evals-nightly.yml` if applicable.
+    - _Example view URL_:
+      `https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml`
+2.  **Isolate**: DO NOT push changes or start remote runs. Confine investigation
+    to the local workspace.
+3.  **Read Logs**:
+    - Eval logs live in `evals/logs/<test_name>.log`.
+    - Enable verbose debugging via `export GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE="debug.log"`.
+4.  **Diagnose**: Audit tool logs and telemetry. Note if due to setup/assert.
+    - **Tip**: Proactively add custom logging/diagnostics to check hypotheses.
+
+---
+
+## 2. 🛠️ Fix Strategy
+
+1.  **Targeted Location**: Locate the test case and the corresponding
+    prompt/code.
+2.  **Iterative Scope**: Make extreme change first to verify scope, then refine
+    to a minimal, targeted change.
+3.  **Assertion Fidelity**:
+    - Changing the test prompt is a **last resort** (prompts are often vague by
+      design).
+    - **Warning**: Do not lose test fidelity by making prompts too direct/easy.
+    - **Primary Fix Trigger**: Adjust tool descriptions, system prompts
+      (`snippets.ts`), or **modules that contribute to the prompt template**.
+    - Fixes should generally try to improve the prompt
+      `@packages/core/src/prompts/snippets.ts` first.
+    - **Instructional Generality**: Changes to the system prompt should aim to
+      be as general as possible while still accomplishing the goal. Specificity
+      should be added only as needed.
+      - **Principle**: Instead of creating "forbidden lists" for specific syntax
+        (e.g., "Don't use `Object.create()`"), formulate a broader engineering
+        principle that covers the underlying issue (e.g., "Prioritize explicit
+        composition over hidden prototype manipulation"). This improves
+        steerability across a wider range of similar scenarios.
+      - _Low Specificity_: "Follow ecosystem best practices"
+      - _Medium Specificity_: "Utilize OOP and functional best practices, as
+        applicable"
+      - _High Specificity_: Provide ecosystem-specific hints as examples of a
+        broader principle rather than direct instructions. e.g., "NEVER use
+        hacks like bypassing the type system or employing 'hidden' logic (e.g.:
+        reflection, prototype manipulation). Instead, use explicit and idiomatic
+        language features (e.g.: type guards, explicit class instantiation, or
+        object spread) that maintain structural integrity."
+    - **Prompt Simplification**: Once the test is passing, use `ask_user` to
+      determine if prompt simplification is desired.
+      - **Criteria**: Simplification should be attempted only if there are
+        related clauses that can be de-duplicated or reparented under a single
+        heading.
+      - **Verification**: As part of simplification, you MUST identify and run
+        any behavioral eval tests that might be affected by the changes to
+        ensure no regressions are introduced.
+    - Test fixes should not "cheat" by changing a test's `GEMINI.md` file or by
+      updating the test's prompt to instruct it to not repro the bug.
+    - **Warning**: Prompts have multiple configurations; ensure your fix targets
+      the correct config for the model in question.
+4.  **Architecture Options**: If prompt or instruction tuning triggers no
+    improvement, analyze loop composition.
+    - **AgentLoop**: Defined by `context + toolset + prompt`.
+    - **Enhancements**: Loops perform best with direct prompts, fewer irrelevant
+      tools, low goal density, and minimal low-value/irrelevant context.
+    - **Modifications**: Compose subagents or isolate tools. Ground in observed
+      traces.
+    - **Warning**: Think deeply before offering recommendations; avoid parroting
+      abstract design guidelines.
+
+---
+
+## 3. ✅ Verify
+
+1.  **Run Local**: Run Vitest in non-interactive mode on just the file.
+2.  **Log Audit**: Prioritize diagnosing failures via log comparison before
+    triggering heavy test runs.
+3.  **Stability Limit**: Run the test **3 times** locally on key models (can use
+    scripts to run in parallel for speed):
+    - **Gemini 3.0**
+    - **Gemini 3 Flash**
+    - **Gemini 2.5 Pro**
+4.  **Flakiness Rule**: If it passes 2/3 times, it may be inherent noise
+    difficult to improve without a structural split.
+
+---
+
+## 4. 📊 Report
+
+Provide a summary of:
+
+- Test success rate for each tested model (e.g., 3/3 = 100%).
+- Root cause identification and fix explanation.
+- If unfixed, provide high-confidence architecture recommendations.

+# Promoting Behavioral Evals
+
+Use this guide when asked to analyze nightly results and promote incubated tests
+to stable suites.
+
+---
+
+## 1. 🔍 Investigate candidates
+
+1.  **Audit Nightly Logs**: Use the `gh` CLI to fetch results from
+    `evals-nightly.yml` (Direct URL:
+    `https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/actions/workflows/evals-nightly.yml`).
+    - **Tip**: The aggregate summary from the most recent run integrates the
+      last 7 runs of history automatically.
+    - **Safety**: DO NOT push changes or start remote runs. All verification is
+      local.
+2.  **Assess Stability**: Identify tests that pass **100% of the time** across
+    ALL enabled models over the **last 7 nightly runs** in a row.
+    - _100% means the test passed 3/3 times for every model and run._
+3.  **Promotion Targets**: Tests meeting this criteria are candidates for
+    promotion from `USUALLY_PASSES` to `ALWAYS_PASSES`.
+
+---
+
+## 2. 🚥 Promotion Steps
+
+1.  **Locate File**: Locate the eval file in the `evals/` directory.
+2.  **Update Policy**: Modify the policy argument to `ALWAYS_PASSES`.
+    ```typescript
+    evalTest('ALWAYS_PASSES', { ... })
+    ```
+3.  **Targeting**: Follow guidelines in `evals/README.md` regarding stable suite
+    organization.
+4.  **Constraint**: Your final change must be **minimal and targeted** strictly
+    to promoting the test status. Do not refactor the test or setup fixtures.
+
+---
+
+## 3. ✅ Verify
+
+1.  **Run Prompted Tests**: Run the promoted test locally using non-interactive
+    Vitest to confirm structure validity.
+2.  **Verify Suite Inclusion**: Check that the test is successfully picked up by
+    standard runnable ranges.
+
+---
+
+## 4. 📊 Report
+
+Provide a summary of:
+
+- Which tests were promoted.
+- Provide the success rate evidence (e.g., 7/7 runs passed for all models).
+- If no candidates qualified, list the next closest candidates and their current
+  pass rate.

+# Running & Promoting Evals
+
+## 🛠️ Prerequisites
+
+Behavioral evals run against the compiled binary. You **must** build and bundle
+the project first after making changes:
+
+```bash
+npm run build && npm run bundle
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🏃‍♂️ Running Tests
+
+### 1. Configure Environment Variables
+
+Evals require a standard API key. If your `.env` file has multiple keys or
+comments, use this precise extraction setup:
+
+```bash
+export GEMINI_API_KEY=$(grep '^GEMINI_API_KEY=' .env | cut -d '=' -f2) && RUN_EVALS=1 npx vitest run --config evals/vitest.config.ts <file_name>
+```
+
+### 2. Commands
+
+| Command                             | Scope           | Description                                        |
+| :---------------------------------- | :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------- |
+| `npm run test:always_passing_evals` | `ALWAYS_PASSES` | Fast feedback, runs in CI.                         |
+| `npm run test:all_evals`            | All             | Runs nightly incubation tests. Sets `RUN_EVALS=1`. |
+
+### Target Specific File
+
+_Note: `RUN_EVALS=1` is required for incubated (`USUALLY_PASSES`) tests._
+
+```bash
+RUN_EVALS=1 npx vitest run --config evals/vitest.config.ts my_feature.eval.ts
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🐞 Debugging and Logs
+
+If a test fails, verify:
+
+- **Tool Trajectory Logs**:序列 of calls in `evals/logs/<test_name>.log`.
+- **Verbose Reasoning**: Capture raw buffer traces by setting
+  `GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE`:
+  ```bash
+  export GEMINI_DEBUG_LOG_FILE="debug.log"
+  ```
+
+---
+
+### 🎯 Verify Model Targeting
+
+- **Tip:** Standard evals benchmark against model variations. If a test passes
+  on Flash but fails on Pro (or vice versa), the issue is usually in the **tool
+  description**, not the prompt definition. Flash is sensitive to "instruction
+  bloat," while Pro is sensitive to "ambiguous intent."
+
+---
+
+## 🚥 deflaking & Promotion
+
+To maintain CI stability, all new evals follow a strict incubation period.
+
+### 1. Incubation (`USUALLY_PASSES`)
+
+New tests must be created with the `USUALLY_PASSES` policy.
+
+```typescript
+evalTest('USUALLY_PASSES', { ... })
+```
+
+They run in **Evals: Nightly** workflows and do not block PR merges.
+
+### 2. Investigate Failures
+
+If a nightly eval regresses, investigate via agent:
+
+```bash
+gemini /fix-behavioral-eval [optional-run-uri]
+```
+
+### 3. Promotion (`ALWAYS_PASSES`)
+
+Once a test scores 100% consistency over multiple nightly cycles:
+
+```bash
+gemini /promote-behavioral-eval
+```
+
+_Do not promote manually._ The command verifies trajectory logs before updating
+the file policy.

+name: ci
+description:
+  A specialized skill for Gemini CLI that provides high-performance, fail-fast
+  monitoring of GitHub Actions workflows and automated local verification of CI
+  failures. It handles run discovery automatically—simply provide the branch name.
+---
+
+# CI Replicate & Status
+
+This skill enables the agent to efficiently monitor GitHub Actions, triage
+failures, and bridge remote CI errors to local development. It defaults to
+**automatic replication** of failures to streamline the fix cycle.
+
+## Core Capabilities
+
+- **Automatic Replication**: Automatically monitors CI and immediately executes 
+  suggested test or lint commands locally upon failure.
+- **Real-time Monitoring**: Aggregated status line for all concurrent workflows
+  on the current branch.
+- **Fail-Fast Triage**: Immediately stops on the first job failure to provide a
+  structured report.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. CI Replicate (`replicate`) - DEFAULT
+Use this as the primary path to monitor CI and **automatically** replicate 
+failures locally for immediate triage and fixing.
+- **Behavior**: When this workflow is triggered, the agent will monitor the CI
+  and **immediately and automatically execute** all suggested test or lint
+  commands (marked with 🚀) as soon as a failure is detected. 
+- **Tool**: `node .gemini/skills/ci/scripts/ci.mjs [branch]`
+- **Discovery**: The script **automatically** finds the latest active or recent
+  run for the branch. Do NOT manually search for run IDs.
+- **Goal**: Reproduce the failure locally without manual intervention, then
+  proceed to analyze and fix the code.
+
+### 1. CI Status (`status`)
+Use this when you have pushed changes and need to monitor the CI and reproduce
+any failures locally.
+- **Tool**: `node .gemini/skills/ci/scripts/ci.mjs [branch] [run_id]`
+- **Discovery**: The script **automatically** finds the latest active or recent
+  run for the branch. You should NOT manually search for \`run_id\` using \`gh run list\`
+  unless a specific historical run is requested. Simply provide the branch name.
+- **Step 1 (Monitor)**: Execute the tool with the branch name.
+- **Step 2 (Extract)**: Extract suggested \`npm test\` or \`npm run lint\` commands
+  from the output (marked with 🚀).
+- **Step 3 (Reproduce)**: Execute those commands locally to confirm the failure.
+- **Behavior**: It will poll every 15 seconds. If it detects a failure, it will
+  exit with a structured report and provide the exact commands to run locally.
+
+## Failure Categories & Actions
+
+- **Test Failures**: Agent should run the specific `npm test -w <pkg> -- <path>`
+  command suggested.
+- **Lint Errors**: Agent should run `npm run lint:all` or the specific package
+  lint command.
+- **Build Errors**: Agent should check `tsc` output or build logs to resolve
+  compilation issues.
+- **Job Errors**: Investigate `gh run view --job <job_id> --log` for
+  infrastructure or setup failures.
+
+## Noise Filtering
+The underlying scripts automatically filter noise (Git logs, NPM warnings, stack
+trace overhead). The agent should focus on the "Structured Failure Report"
+provided by the tool.

+  Generates and formats changelog files for a new release based on provided
+  version and raw changelog data.
+---
+
+# 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`
+
+---
+
+## Finalize
+
+- After making changes, if `npm run format` fails, it may be necessary to run
+  `npm install` first to ensure all formatting dependencies are available.
+  Then, run `npm run format` to ensure consistency.
+- Delete any temporary files created during the process.

 # `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.
+- **Accessibility:** Use semantic HTML elements correctly (headings, lists, 
+  tables).
+- **Media:** Use lowercase hyphenated filenames. Provide descriptive alt text
+  for all images.
+- **Details section:** Use the `<details>` tag to create a collapsible section.
+  This is useful for supplementary or data-heavy information that isn't critical
+  to the main flow.
 
-### Sub-step: Editing existing documentation (as clarified in Step 1)
+  Example:
 
--   **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.
+  <details>
+  <summary>Title</summary>
 
-## Step 4: Verify and finalize
+  - First entry
+  - Second entry
 
-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`
+  </details>
+
+- **Callouts**: Use GitHub-flavored markdown alerts to highlight important
+  information. To ensure the formatting is preserved by `npm run format`, place
+  an empty line, then the `<!-- prettier-ignore -->` comment directly before
+  the callout block. The callout type (`[!TYPE]`) should be on the first line,
+  followed by a newline, and then the content, with each subsequent line of
+  content starting with `>`. Available types are `NOTE`, `TIP`, `IMPORTANT`,
+  `WARNING`, and `CAUTION`.
+
+  Example:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is an example of a multi-line note that will be preserved
+> by Prettier.
+
+### Links
+- **Accessibility:** Use descriptive anchor text; avoid "click here." Ensure the
+  link makes sense out of context, such as when being read by a screen reader.
+- **Use relative links in docs:** Use relative links in documentation (`/docs/`)
+  to ensure portability. Use paths relative to the current file's directory
+  (for example, `../tools/` from `docs/cli/`). Do not include the `/docs/`
+  section of a path, but do verify that the resulting relative link exists. This
+  does not apply to meta files such as README.MD and CONTRIBUTING.MD.
+- **When changing headings, check for deep links:** If a user is changing a
+  heading, check for deep links to that heading in other pages and update
+  accordingly.
+
+### 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:
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is an experimental 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, details, and callouts.
+- **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.
+6.  **Audit Docset:** If asked to audit the documentation, follow the procedural
+    guide in [docs-auditing.md](./references/docs-auditing.md).
+
+## 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.
+
+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:** If `npm run format` fails, it may be necessary to run `npm
+    install` first to ensure all formatting dependencies are available. 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.

+# Procedural Guide: Auditing the Docset
+
+This guide outlines the process for auditing the Gemini CLI documentation for
+correctness and adherence to style guidelines. This process involves both an
+"Editor" and "Technical Writer" phase.
+
+## Objective
+
+To ensure all public-facing documentation is accurate, up-to-date, adheres to
+the Gemini CLI documentation style guide, and reflects the current state of the
+codebase.
+
+## Phase 1: Editor Audit
+
+**Role:** The editor is responsible for identifying potential issues based on
+style guide violations and technical inaccuracies.
+
+### Steps
+
+1.  **Identify Documentation Scope:**
+    - Read `docs/sidebar.json` to get a list of all viewable documentation
+      pages.
+    - For each entry with a `slug`, convert it into a file path (e.g., `docs` ->
+      `docs/index.md`, `docs/get-started` -> `docs/get-started.md`). Ignore
+      entries with `link` properties.
+
+2.  **Prepare Audit Results File:**
+    - Create a new Markdown file named `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` (e.g.,
+      `audit-results-2026-03-13.md`). This file will contain all identified
+      violations and recommendations.
+
+3.  **Retrieve Style Guidelines:**
+    - Familiarize yourself with the `docs-writer` skill instructions and the
+      included style guidelines.
+
+4.  **Audit Each Document:**
+    - For each documentation file identified in Step 1, read its content.
+    - **Review against Style Guide:**
+      - **Voice and Tone Violations:**
+        - **Unprofessional Tone:** Identify phrasing that is overly casual,
+          defensive, or lacks a professional and friendly demeanor.
+        - **Indirectness or Vagueness:** Identify sentences that are
+          unnecessarily wordy or fail to be concise and direct.
+        - **Incorrect Pronoun:** Identify any use of third-person pronouns
+          (e.g., "we," "they," "the user") when referring to the reader, instead
+          of the second-person pronoun **"you"**.
+        - **Passive Voice:** Identify sentences written in the passive voice.
+        - **Incorrect Tense:** Identify the use of past or future tense verbs,
+          instead of the **present tense**.
+        - **Poor Vocabulary:** Identify the use of jargon, slang, or overly
+          informal language.
+      - **Language and Grammar Violations:**
+        - **Lack of Conciseness:** Identify unnecessarily long phrases or
+          sentences.
+        - **Punctuation Errors:** Identify incorrect or missing punctuation.
+        - **Ambiguous Dates:** Identify dates that could be misinterpreted
+          (e.g., "next Monday" instead of "April 15, 2026").
+        - **Abbreviation Usage:** Identify the use of abbreviations that should
+          be spelled out (e.g., "e.g." instead of "for example").
+        - **Terminology:** Check for incorrect or inconsistent use of
+          product-specific terms (e.g., "quota" vs. "limit").
+      - **Formatting and Syntax Violations:**
+        - **Missing Overview:** Check for the absence of a brief overview
+          paragraph at the start of the document.
+        - **Line Length:** Identify any lines of text that exceed **80
+          characters** (text wrap violation).
+        - **Casing:** Identify incorrect casing for headings, titles, or named
+          entities (e.g., product names like `Gemini CLI`).
+        - **List Formatting:** Identify incorrectly formatted lists (e.g.,
+          inconsistent indentation or numbering).
+        - **Incorrect Emphasis:** Identify incorrect use of bold text (should
+          only be used for UI elements) or code font (should be used for code,
+          file names, or command-line input).
+        - **Link Quality:** Identify links with non-descriptive anchor text
+          (e.g., "click here").
+        - **Image Alt Text:** Identify images with missing or poor-quality
+          (non-descriptive) alt text.
+      - **Structure Violations:**
+        - **Missing BLUF:** Check for the absence of a "Bottom Line Up Front"
+          summary at the start of complex sections or documents.
+        - **Experimental Feature Notes:** Identify experimental features that
+          are not clearly labeled with a standard note.
+        - **Heading Hierarchy:** Check for skipped heading levels (e.g., going
+          from `##` to `####`).
+        - **Procedure Clarity:** Check for procedural steps that do not start
+          with an imperative verb or where a condition is placed _after_ the
+          instruction.
+        - **Element Misuse:** Identify the incorrect or inappropriate use of
+          special elements (e.g., Notes, Warnings, Cautions).
+        - **Table of Contents:** Identify the presence of a dynamically
+          generated or manually included table of contents.
+        - **Missing Next Steps:** Check for procedural documents that lack a
+          "Next steps" section (if applicable).
+    - **Verify Code Accuracy (if applicable):**
+      - If the document contains code snippets (e.g., shell commands, API calls,
+        file paths, Docker image versions), use `grep_search` and `read_file`
+        within the `packages/` directory (or other relevant parts of the
+        codebase) to ensure the code is still accurate and up-to-date. Pay close
+        attention to version numbers, package names, and command syntax.
+    - **Record Findings:** For each **violation** or inaccuracy found:
+      - Note the file path.
+      - Describe the violation (e.g., "Violation (Language and Grammar): Uses
+        'e.g.'").
+      - Provide a clear and actionable recommendation to correct the issue.
+        (e.g., "Recommendation: Replace 'e.g.' with 'for example'." or
+        "Recommendation: Replace '...' with '...' in active voice.).
+      - Append these findings to `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md`.
+
+## Phase 2: Software Engineer Audit
+
+**Role:** The software engineer is responsible for finding undocumented features
+by auditing the codebase and recent changelogs, and passing these findings to
+the technical writer.
+
+### Steps
+
+1.  **Proactive Codebase Audit:**
+    - Audit high-signal areas of the codebase to identify undocumented features.
+      You MUST review:
+      - `packages/cli/src/commands/`
+      - `packages/core/src/tools/`
+      - `packages/cli/src/config/settings.ts`
+
+2.  **Review Recent Updates:**
+    - Check recent changelogs in stable and announcements within the
+      documentation to see if newly introduced features are documented properly.
+
+3.  **Evaluate and Record Findings:**
+    - Determine if these features are adequately covered in the docs. They do
+      not need to be documented word for word, but major features that customers
+      should care about probably should have an article.
+    - Append your findings to the `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` file,
+      providing a brief description of the feature and where it should be
+      documented.
+
+## Phase 3: Technical Writer Implementation
+
+**Role:** The technical writer handles input from both the editor and the
+software engineer, makes appropriate decisions about what to change, and
+implements the approved changes.
+
+### Steps
+
+1.  **Review Audit Results:**
+    - Read `audit-results-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` to understand all identified issues,
+      undocumented features, and recommendations from both the Editor and
+      Software Engineer phases.
+
+2.  **Make Decisions and Log Reasoning:**
+    - Create or update an implementation log (e.g.,
+      `audit-implementation-log-[YYYY-MM-DD].md`).
+    - Make sure the logs are updated for all steps, documenting your reasoning
+      for each recommendation (why it was accepted, modified, or rejected). This
+      is required for a final check by a human in the PR.
+
+3.  **Implement Changes:**
+    - For each approved recommendation:
+      - Read the target documentation file.
+      - Apply the recommended change using the `replace` tool. Pay close
+        attention to `old_string` for exact matches, including whitespace and
+        newlines. For multiple occurrences of the same simple string (e.g.,
+        "e.g."), use `allow_multiple: true`.
+      - **String replacement safeguards:** When applying these fixes across the
+        docset, you must verify the following:
+        - **Preserve Code Blocks:** Explicitly verify that no code blocks,
+          inline code snippets, terminal commands, or file paths have been
+          erroneously capitalized or modified.
+        - **Preserve Literal Strings:** Never alter the wording of literal error
+          messages, UI quotes, or system logs. For example, if a style rule says
+          to remove the word "please", you must NOT remove it if it appears
+          inside a quoted error message (e.g.,
+          `Error: Please contact your administrator`).
+        - **Verify Sentence Casing:** When removing filler words (like "please")
+          from the beginning of a sentence or list item, always verify that the
+          new first word of the sentence is properly capitalized.
+      - For structural changes (e.g., adding an overview paragraph), use
+        `replace` or `write_file` as appropriate.
+      - For broken links, determine the correct new path or update the link
+        text.
+      - For creating new files (e.g., `docs/get-started.md` to fix a broken
+        link, or a new feature article), use `write_file`.
+
+4.  **Execute Auto-Generation Scripts:**
+    - Some documentation pages are auto-generated from the codebase and should
+      be updated using npm scripts rather than manual edits. After implementing
+      manual changes (especially if you edited settings or configurations based
+      on SWE recommendations), ensure you run:
+      - `npm run docs:settings` to generate/update the configuration reference.
+      - `npm run docs:keybindings` to generate/update the keybindings reference.
+
+5.  **Format Code:**
+    - **Dependencies:** If `npm run format` fails, it may be necessary to run
+      `npm install` first to ensure all formatting dependencies are available.
+    - After all changes have been implemented, run `npm run format` to ensure
+      consistent formatting across the project.

-# Documentation style guide
-
-## I. Core principles
-
-1.  **Clarity:** Write for easy understanding. Prioritize clear, direct, and
-    simple language.
-2.  **Consistency:** Use consistent terminology, formatting, and style
-    throughout the documentation.
-3.  **Accuracy:** Ensure all information is technically correct and up-to-date.
-4.  **Accessibility:** Design documentation to be usable by everyone. Focus on
-    semantic structure, clear link text, and image alternatives.
-5.  **Global audience:** Write in standard US English. Avoid slang, idioms, and
-    cultural references.
-6.  **Prescriptive:** Guide the reader by recommending specific actions and
-    paths, especially for complex tasks.
-
-## II. Voice and tone
-
-- **Professional yet friendly:** Maintain a helpful, knowledgeable, and
-  conversational tone without being frivolous.
-- **Direct:** Get straight to the point. Keep paragraphs short and focused.
-- **Second person:** Address the reader as "you."
-- **Present tense:** Use the present tense to describe functionality (e.g., "The
-  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.
-- **"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.
-- **Headings, titles, and bold text:** Use sentence case. Structure headings
-  hierarchically.
-- **Lists:** Use numbered lists for sequential steps and bulleted lists for all
-  other lists. Keep list items parallel in structure.
-- **Serial comma:** Use the serial comma (e.g., "one, two, and three").
-- **Punctuation:** Use standard American punctuation. Place periods inside
-  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 semantic HTML elements correctly (headings, lists, tables).

+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.

+description: Use this skill during code reviews to proactively investigate the codebase for duplicated functionality, reinvented wheels, or failure to reuse existing project best practices and shared utilities.
+---
+
+# Review Duplication
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill provides a structured workflow for investigating a codebase during a code review to identify duplicated logic, reinvented utilities, and missed opportunities to reuse established patterns. By executing this workflow, you ensure that new code integrates seamlessly with the existing project architecture.
+
+## Workflow: Investigating for Duplication
+
+When reviewing code, perform the following steps before finalizing your review:
+
+### 1. Extract Core Logic
+Analyze the new code to identify the core algorithms, utility functions, generic data structures, or UI components being introduced. Look beyond the specific business logic to see the underlying mechanics.
+
+### 2. Hypothesize Existing Locations & Trace Dependencies
+Think about where this type of code *would* live if it already existed in the project. Provide absolute paths from the repo root to disambiguate.
+- **Utilities:** `packages/core/src/utils/`, `packages/cli/src/utils/`
+- **UI Components:** `packages/cli/src/ui/components/`, `packages/cli/src/ui/`
+- **Services:** `packages/core/src/services/`, `packages/cli/src/services/`
+- **Configuration:** `packages/core/src/config/`, `packages/cli/src/config/`
+- **Core Logic:** Call out `packages/core/` if functionality does not appear React UI specific.
+
+**Trace Third-Party Dependencies:** If the PR introduces a new import for a utility library (e.g., `lodash.merge`, `date-fns`), trace how and where the project currently uses that library. There is likely an existing wrapper or shared utility.
+
+**Check Package Files:** Before flagging a custom implementation of a complex algorithm, check `package.json` to see if a standard library (like `lodash` or `uuid`) is already installed that provides this functionality.
+
+### 3. Investigate the Codebase (Sub-Agent Delegation)
+Delegate the heavy lifting of codebase investigation to specialized sub-agents. They are optimized to perform deep searches and semantic mapping without bloating your session history.
+
+To ensure a comprehensive review, you MUST formulate highly specific objectives for the sub-agents, providing them with the "scents" you discovered in Step 1.
+
+- **Codebase Investigator:** Use the `codebase_investigator` as your primary researcher. When delegating, formulate an objective that asks specific, investigative questions about the codebase, explicitly including these search vectors:
+  - **Structural Similarity:** Ask if existing code uses the same underlying APIs (e.g., "Does any existing code use `Intl.DateTimeFormat` or `setTimeout` for similar purposes?").
+  - **Naming Conventions:** Ask if there are existing symbols with similar naming patterns (e.g., "Are there existing symbols with naming patterns like `*Format*` or `*Debounce*`?").
+  - **Comments & Documentation:** Ask if keywords from the PR's comments or JSDoc exist in describing similar behavior elsewhere.
+  - **Architectural Fit:** Ask where this type of logic is currently centralized (e.g., "Where is centralized date formatting logic located?").
+  - **Refactoring Guidance:** Crucially, ask the sub-agent to explain *how* the new code could be refactored to use any existing logic it finds.
+- **Generalist Agent:** Use the `generalist` for detailed, turn-intensive comparisons. For example: "Review the implementation of `MyNewComponent` in the PR and compare it semantically against all components in `packages/ui/src`. Are there any existing components that could be extended or used instead?"
+- **Retain Fast Path for Simple Searches:** For extremely simple, unambiguous checks (e.g., "Does `package.json` include `lodash`?"), perform a direct search to save time. Default to delegation for any open-ended "investigations."
+
+### 4. Evaluate Best Practices
+Check if the new code aligns with the project's established conventions.
+- **Error Handling:** Does it use the project's standard error classes or logging mechanisms?
+- **State Management:** Does it bypass established stores or contexts?
+- **Styling:** Does it hardcode colors or spacing instead of using theme variables?
+If the PR introduces a new pattern, compare it against the documented standards and explicitly confirm if an existing project pattern should have been used instead.
+
+### 5. Formulate Constructive Feedback
+If you discover that the PR duplicates existing functionality or ignores a best practice:
+- Provide a clear review comment.
+- **Identify the Source:** Explicitly mention the absolute or project-relative file path and the specific symbol (function, component, class) that should be reused.
+- **Implementation Guidance:** Provide a brief code snippet or a clear explanation showing **how** to integrate the existing code to fulfill the task's requirements.
+- **Explain the Value:** Briefly explain why reusing the existing code is beneficial (e.g., maintainability, consistency, built-in edge case handling).
+
+Example comment:
+> "It looks like this PR introduces a new `formatDate` utility. We already have a robust, tested `formatDate` function in `src/utils/dateHelpers.ts`. 
+>
+> You can replace your implementation by importing it like this:
+> ```typescript
+> import { formatDate } from '../utils/dateHelpers';
+> 
+> // Then use it here:
+> const displayDate = formatDate(userDate, 'MMM Do, YYYY');
+> ```
+> Reusing this ensures that the date formatting remains consistent with the rest of the application and handles timezone conversions correctly."

+  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.

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Gemini CLI. \n\nTo ensure we maintain high code quality and focus on our prioritized roadmap, we have updated our contribution policy (see [Discussion #17383](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/17383)). \n\n**We only *guarantee* review and consideration of pull requests for issues that are explicitly labeled as 'help wanted'.** All other community pull requests are subject to closure after 14 days if they do not align with our current focus areas. For this reason, we strongly recommend that contributors only submit pull requests against issues explicitly labeled as **'help-wanted'**. \n\nThis pull request is being closed as it has been open for 14 days without a 'help wanted' designation. We encourage you to find and contribute to existing 'help wanted' issues in our backlog! Thank you for your understanding and for being part of our community!"

-To run the review tool, enter the following command from within Gemini CLI:
+#### 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

+
+To assign an issue to yourself, simply add a comment with the text `/assign`. To
+unassign yourself from an issue, add a comment with the text `/unassign`.
