+prompt = """
+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, system prompt (snippets.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.

+
+2. **Promote**:
+   - For each candidate test, locate the test file in the evals/ directory.

+   - Check that the test is now part of the expected standard or stable test suites.

+4. **Report**:
+   - Provide a summary of the tests that were promoted.

-  rather than `true` as a default if the state is truly unknown). Prefer a
-  reducer whenever practical. NEVER disable `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps`; fix
-  the code to correctly declare dependencies instead. Evaluate all the React

-- **Effect**: `useEffect` should not be used to synchronize React states, it
-  should only be used for genuine side effects that occur outside of React.
-  Contributors should be able to strongly justify the need for an effect.

-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.*

-## 🏗️ 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.

-# 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.

----
-
-# 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."

             ## Steps
 
-            1. You are only able to use the echo and read_file commands. Review the available labels in the environment variable: "${AVAILABLE_LABELS}".
-            2. Use the read_file tool to read the file "issues_to_triage.json" which contains the JSON array of issues to triage.
-            3. Review the issue title, body and any comments provided in the JSON file.
-            4. Identify the most relevant labels from the existing labels, specifically focusing on area/*, kind/*, priority/*, and effort/*.
+            1. You are only able to use the echo command. Review the available labels in the environment variable: "${AVAILABLE_LABELS}".
+            2. Check environment variable for issues to triage: $ISSUES_TO_TRIAGE (JSON array of issues)
+            3. Review the issue title, body and any comments provided in the environment variables.
+            4. Identify the most relevant labels from the existing labels, specifically focusing on area/*, kind/* and priority/*.
             5. Label Policy:
                - If the issue already has a kind/ label, do not change it.
                - If the issue already has a priority/ label, do not change it.
                - If the issue already has an area/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue already has an effort/ label, do not change it.
-               - If the issue is missing an effort/ label AND its area is area/core, area/extensions, area/site, or area/non-interactive, you must evaluate the architectural complexity to determine the effort level. You MUST NOT guess the root cause. You MUST actively use your codebase search tools (grep_search and glob) to search for keywords from the issue and explore the codebase. You must identify the specific files and components involved before deciding the effort. Do NOT evaluate or assign an effort/ label to issues in any other areas (such as area/agent).
                - If any of these are missing, select exactly ONE appropriate label for the missing category.
             6. Identify other applicable labels based on the issue content, such as status/*, help wanted, good first issue, etc.
             7. Give me a single short explanation about why you are selecting each label in the process.
             8. Output a JSON array of objects, each containing the issue number
-               and the labels to add and remove, along with an explanation. If you assigned an effort/ label, you MUST also include an effort_analysis field. This effort_analysis must be highly detailed, technical, and empirical. It MUST NOT contain vague guesses (e.g., avoid words like "likely points to" or "possibly"). You must explicitly cite the specific file paths and architectural mechanisms you discovered using your search tools, explain the root cause, and then explicitly state how that complexity maps to the chosen effort level guidelines. For example:

-            Categorization Guidelines (Effort):
-            effort/small (1 day or less):
-              - Trivial Logic & Config: Schema updates (Zod), feature flag toggles, adding missing fields to package.json or settings.json.
-              - UI/Aesthetic Adjustments: Fixing minor layout bugs in Ink components (e.g., adding flexShrink, correcting padding in a single Box), text color changes.
-              - Documentation & Strings: Typos, log message updates, CLI argument descriptions.
-              - Localized Bug Fixes: Single-file logic errors, straightforward promise rejections (e.g., wrapping a known failure in a try/catch), simple regex or string parsing fixes.
-            effort/medium (2-3 days):
-              - React/Ink State Management: Debugging useState/useEffect/useReducer bugs, component lifecycle issues (memory leaks in the UI), terminal redraw flickering, or state synchronization between the CLI's internal input buffer and the interactive React components.
-              - Asynchronous Flow & Integration: Resolving complex Promise chains, ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE, debugging IDE companion extensions (VS Code, Android Studio) or resolving hanging HTTP requests/IPC between the CLI and external plugins, timeouts in non-interactive/ACP modes.
-              - Tooling & Output Parsers: Modifying how tools parse streaming stdout/stderr buffers, adding new built-in tools that don't require native bindings.
-              - Cross-Component Refactors: Changes that span across packages/cli and packages/core to pass new data models or telemetry state.
-            effort/large (3+ days):
-              - Platform-Specific Complexities (PTY/Signals): Any issue involving node-pty, child_process.spawn, OS-level shell behavior (Windows vs Linux vs macOS), pseudo-terminal exhaustion (ENXIO), raw mode terminal desyncs, or POSIX signal forwarding (SIGINT/SIGTERM).
-              - Core Architecture & Protocols: Refactoring the Scheduler, Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol implementation, low-level MCP (Model Context Protocol) transport mechanisms.
-              - Performance & Memory: Diagnosing massive disk/memory leaks, severe boot time regressions, high-throughput streaming optimizations (e.g., voice streaming pipelines).
-            Note: Any bug that is described as intermittent, flickering, difficult to reproduce, platform-specific, or requiring cross-environment setups (e.g., involving the VS Code IDE companion, GCA plugin, or Android Studio) MUST NOT be rated as effort/small because of the increased overhead of testing and reproducing.

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.

-#### Required MCP Servers (preview)
-
-**Default**: empty
-
-Allows administrators to define MCP servers that are **always injected** into
-the user's environment. Unlike the allowlist (which filters user-configured
-servers), required servers are automatically added regardless of the user's
-local configuration.
-
-**Required Servers Format:**
-
-```json
-{
-  "requiredMcpServers": {
-    "corp-compliance-tool": {
-      "url": "https://mcp.corp/compliance",
-      "type": "http",

-      "oauth": {
-        "scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/scope"]
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Supported Fields:**
-
-- `url`: (Required) The full URL of the MCP server endpoint.
-- `type`: (Required) The connection type (`sse` or `http`).
-- `trust`: (Optional) If set to `true`, tool execution will not require user
-  approval. Defaults to `true` for required servers.
-- `description`: (Optional) Human-readable description of the server.
-- `authProviderType`: (Optional) Authentication provider (`dynamic_discovery`,
-  `google_credentials`, or `service_account_impersonation`).
-- `oauth`: (Optional) OAuth configuration including `scopes`, `clientId`, and
-  `clientSecret`.
-- `targetAudience`: (Optional) OAuth target audience for service-to-service
-  auth.
-- `targetServiceAccount`: (Optional) Service account email to impersonate.
-- `headers`: (Optional) Additional HTTP headers to send with requests.
-- `includeTools` / `excludeTools`: (Optional) Tool filtering lists.
-- `timeout`: (Optional) Timeout in milliseconds for MCP requests.
-
-**Client Enforcement Logic:**
-
-- Required servers are injected **after** allowlist filtering, so they are
-  always available even if the allowlist is active.
-- If a required server has the **same name** as a locally configured server, the
-  admin configuration **completely overrides** the local one.
-- Required servers only support remote transports (`sse`, `http`). Local
-  execution fields (`command`, `args`, `env`, `cwd`) are not supported.
-- Required servers can coexist with allowlisted servers — both features work
-  independently.

-# ACP Mode
-
-ACP (Agent Client Protocol) mode is a special operational mode of Gemini CLI
-designed for programmatic control, primarily for IDE and other developer tool
-integrations. It uses a JSON-RPC protocol over stdio to communicate between
-Gemini CLI agent and a client.
-
-To start Gemini CLI in ACP mode, use the `--acp` flag:
-
-```bash
-gemini --acp
-```
-
-## Agent Client Protocol (ACP)
-
-ACP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI coding agents communicate with
-code editors and IDEs. It addresses the challenge of fragmented distribution,
-where agents traditionally needed custom integrations for each client. With ACP,
-developers can implement their agent once, and it becomes compatible with any
-ACP-compliant editor.
-
-For a comprehensive introduction to ACP, including its architecture and
-benefits, refer to the official
-[ACP Introduction](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/introduction)
-documentation.
-
-### Existing integrations using ACP
-
-The ACP Agent Registry simplifies the distribution and management of
-ACP-compatible agents across various IDEs. Gemini CLI is an ACP-compatible agent
-and can be found in this registry.
-
-For more general information about the registry, and how to use it with specific
-IDEs like JetBrains and Zed, refer to the
-[IDE Integration](../ide-integration/index.md) documentation.
-
-You can also find more information on the official
-[ACP Agent Registry](https://agentclientprotocol.com/get-started/registry) page.
-
-## Architecture and protocol basics
-
-ACP mode establishes a client-server relationship between your tool (the client)
-and Gemini CLI (the server).
-
-- **Communication:** The entire communication happens over standard input/output
-  (stdio) using the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.
-- **Client's role:** The client is responsible for sending requests (for
-  example, prompts) and handling responses and notifications from Gemini CLI.
-- **Gemini CLI's role:** In ACP mode, Gemini CLI listens for incoming JSON-RPC
-  requests, processes them, and sends back responses.
-
-The core of the ACP implementation can be found in
-`packages/cli/src/acp/acpClient.ts`.
-
-### Extending with MCP
-
-ACP can be used with the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This lets an ACP client
-(like an IDE) expose its own functionality as "tools" that the Gemini model can
-use.
-
-1.  The client implements an **MCP server** that advertises its tools.
-2.  During the ACP `initialize` handshake, the client provides the connection
-    details for its MCP server.
-3.  Gemini CLI connects to the MCP server, discovers the available tools, and
-    makes them available to the AI model.
-4.  When the model decides to use one of these tools, Gemini CLI sends a tool
-    call request to the MCP server.
-
-This mechanism lets for a powerful, two-way integration where the agent can
-leverage the IDE's capabilities to perform tasks. The MCP client logic is in
-`packages/core/src/tools/mcp-client.ts`.
-
-## Capabilities and supported methods
-
-The ACP protocol exposes a number of methods for ACP clients (for example IDEs)
-to control Gemini CLI.
-
-### Core methods
-
-- `initialize`: Establishes the initial connection and lets the client to
-  register its MCP server.
-- `authenticate`: Authenticates the user.
-- `newSession`: Starts a new chat session.
-- `loadSession`: Loads a previous session.
-- `prompt`: Sends a prompt to the agent.
-- `cancel`: Cancels an ongoing prompt.
-
-### Session control
-
-- `setSessionMode`: Allows changing the approval level for tool calls (for
-  example, to `auto-approve`).
-- `unstable_setSessionModel`: Changes the model for the current session.
-
-### File system proxy
-
-ACP includes a proxied file system service. This means that when the agent needs
-to read or write files, it does so through the ACP client. This is a security
-feature that ensures the agent only has access to the files that the client (and
-by extension, the user) has explicitly allowed.
-
-## Debugging and telemetry
-
-You can get insights into the ACP communication and the agent's behavior through
-debugging logs and telemetry.
-
-### Debugging logs
-
-To enable general debugging logs, start Gemini CLI with the `--debug` flag:
-
-```bash
-gemini --acp --debug
-```
-
-### Telemetry
-
-For more detailed telemetry, you can use the following environment variables to
-capture telemetry data to a file:
-
-- `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true`
-- `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_TARGET=local`
-- `GEMINI_TELEMETRY_OUTFILE=/path/to/your/log.json`
-
-This will write a JSON log file containing detailed information about all the
-events happening within the agent, including ACP requests and responses. The
-integration test `integration-tests/acp-telemetry.test.ts` provides a working
-example of how to set this up.

docs/cli/auto-memory.md

-# Auto Memory
-
-Auto Memory is an experimental feature that mines your past Gemini CLI sessions
-in the background and proposes durable memory updates and reusable
-[Agent Skills](./skills.md). You review each candidate before it becomes
-available to future sessions: apply memory updates, promote skills, or discard
-anything you do not want.
-
-<!-- prettier-ignore -->
-> [!NOTE]
-> This is an experimental feature currently under active development.
-
-## Overview
-
-Every session you run with Gemini CLI is recorded locally as a transcript. Auto
-Memory scans those transcripts for durable facts, preferences, workflow
-constraints, and procedural patterns that recur across sessions. It can draft
-memory updates as unified diff `.patch` files and draft reusable procedures as
-`SKILL.md` files. All candidates are held in a project-local inbox until you
-approve or discard them.
-
-You'll use Auto Memory when you want to:
-
-- **Capture team workflows** that you find yourself walking the agent through
-  more than once.
-- **Preserve durable project context** such as repeated verification commands,
-  local constraints, or personal project notes.
-- **Codify hard-won fixes** for project-specific landmines so future sessions
-  avoid them.
-- **Bootstrap a skills library** without writing every `SKILL.md` by hand.
-
-Auto Memory complements—but does not replace—the
-[`save_memory` tool](../tools/memory.md), which captures single facts into
-`GEMINI.md` when the agent explicitly calls it. Auto Memory infers candidates
-from past sessions, writes reviewable patches or skill drafts, and never applies
-them without your approval.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
-- At least one idle project session with 10 or more user messages. Auto Memory
-  ignores active, trivial, and sub-agent sessions.
-
-## How to enable Auto Memory
-
-Auto Memory is off by default. Enable it in your settings file:
-
-1.  Open your global settings file at `~/.gemini/settings.json`. If you only
-    want Auto Memory in one project, edit `.gemini/settings.json` in that
-    project instead.
-
-2.  Add the experimental flag:
-
-    ```json
-    {
-      "experimental": {
-        "autoMemory": true
-      }
-    }
-    ```
-
-3.  Restart Gemini CLI. The flag requires a restart because the extraction
-    service starts during session boot.
-
-## How Auto Memory works
-
-Auto Memory runs as a background task on session startup. It does not block the
-UI, consume your interactive turns, or surface tool prompts.
-
-1.  **Eligibility scan.** The service indexes recent sessions from
-    `~/.gemini/tmp/<project>/chats/`. Sessions are eligible only if they have
-    been idle for at least three hours and contain at least 10 user messages.
-2.  **Lock acquisition.** A lock file in the project's memory directory
-    coordinates across multiple CLI instances so extraction runs at most once at
-    a time. A state file records processed session versions, and extraction is
-    throttled so short back-to-back CLI launches do not repeatedly scan history.
-3.  **Candidate extraction.** A background extraction agent reviews the session
-    index, reads any sessions that look like they contain durable memory or
-    repeated procedural workflows, and drafts candidates. It defaults to
-    creating no artifacts unless the evidence is strong, so many runs produce no
-    inbox items.
-4.  **Safety boundaries.** Auto Memory writes candidates to a review inbox. It
-    cannot directly edit active memory files, settings, credentials, or project
-    `GEMINI.md` files.
-5.  **Patch validation.** Skill update patches are parsed and dry-run before
-    they are surfaced. Memory patches are parsed, target-allowlisted, and
-    applied atomically only when you approve them from the inbox.
-6.  **Notification.** When a run produces new candidates, Gemini CLI surfaces an
-    inline message telling you how many items are waiting.
-
-## How to review extracted items
-
-Use the `/memory inbox` slash command to open the inbox dialog at any time:
-
-**Command:** `/memory inbox`
-
-The dialog groups pending items into new skills, skill updates, and memory
-updates. From there you can:
-
-- **Read** the full `SKILL.md` body before deciding.
-- **Promote** a skill to your user (`~/.gemini/skills/`) or workspace
-  (`.gemini/skills/`) directory.
-- **Discard** a skill you do not want.
-- **Apply** or reject a `.patch` proposal against an existing skill.
-- **Review** memory diffs before they touch active files.
-- **Apply** or dismiss private and global memory patches. Private patches target
-  the project memory directory; global patches target only your personal
-  `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` file.
-
-Promoted skills become discoverable in the next session and follow the standard
-[skill discovery precedence](./skills.md#skill-discovery-tiers). Applied memory
-patches update the underlying memory files and reload memory for the current
-session.
-
-## How to disable Auto Memory
-
-To turn off background extraction, set the flag back to `false` in your settings
-file and restart Gemini CLI:
-
-```json
-{
-  "experimental": {
-    "autoMemory": false
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Disabling the flag stops the background service immediately on the next session
-start. Existing inbox items remain on disk; you can either drain them with
-`/memory inbox` first or remove the project memory directory manually.
-
-## Data and privacy
-
-- Auto Memory only reads session files that already exist locally on your
-  machine.
-- Auto Memory uses model calls to analyze selected local transcript content
-  during extraction. No candidates are applied automatically, but transcript
-  excerpts may be sent to the configured model as part of those calls.
-- The extraction agent is instructed to redact secrets, tokens, and credentials
-  it encounters and to never copy large tool outputs verbatim.
-- Drafted skills and memory patches live in your project's memory directory
-  until you promote, apply, dismiss, or discard them. They are not automatically
-  loaded into any session.
-
-## Limitations
-
-- The extraction agent runs on a preview Gemini Flash model. Extraction quality
-  depends on the model's ability to recognize durable patterns versus one-off
-  incidents.
-- Auto Memory does not extract memory or skills from the current session. It
-  only considers sessions that have been idle for three hours or more.
-- Project or workspace shared instructions in project `GEMINI.md` files are not
-  auto-extractable. Auto Memory can propose private project memory, global
-  personal memory, and skills.
-- Inbox items are stored per project. Skills extracted in one workspace are not
-  visible from another until you promote them to the user-scope skills
-  directory.
-
-## Next steps
-
-- Learn how skills are discovered and activated in [Agent Skills](./skills.md).
-- Explore the [memory management tutorial](./tutorials/memory-management.md) for
-  the complementary explicit-memory and `GEMINI.md` workflows.
-- Review the experimental settings catalog in
-  [Settings](./settings.md#experimental).

 # Creating Agent Skills
 
-Agent Skills let you extend Gemini CLI with specialized expertise, procedural
-workflows, and task-specific resources. This guide walks you through both
-automated and manual methods for creating and organizing your skills.
+This guide provides an overview of how to create your own Agent Skills to extend
+the capabilities of Gemini CLI.
 
-## Quickstart: Create a skill with a prompt
+## Getting started: The `skill-creator` skill
 
-The fastest way to create a new skill is to use the built-in `skill-creator`.
-This meta-skill guides you through designing, scaffolding, and validating your
-expertise.
+The recommended way to create a new skill is to use the built-in `skill-creator`
+skill. To use it, ask Gemini CLI to create a new skill for you.
 
-Simply ask Gemini CLI to create a skill for you:
+**Example prompt:**
 
-> "Create a new skill called 'code-reviewer' that analyzes local files for
-> common errors and style violations."
+> "create a new skill called 'code-reviewer'"
 
-Gemini will then:
+Gemini CLI will then use the `skill-creator` to generate the skill:
 
-1.  Generate a new directory for your skill (for example, `my-new-skill/`).
+1.  Generate a new directory for your skill (e.g., `my-new-skill/`).
 2.  Create a `SKILL.md` file with the necessary YAML frontmatter (`name` and
     `description`).
 3.  Create the standard resource directories: `scripts/`, `references/`, and
     `assets/`.
 
-Once created, you can find your new skill in `.gemini/skills/code-reviewer/`.
+## Manual skill creation
 
-## Manual creation
+If you prefer to create skills manually:
 
-1.  **Create a directory** for your skill (for example, `my-new-skill/`).
+1.  **Create a directory** for your skill (e.g., `my-new-skill/`).
 2.  **Create a `SKILL.md` file** inside the new directory.
 
-### 1. Create the directory structure
+To add additional resources that support the skill, refer to the skill
+structure.
 
-The first step is to create the necessary folders for your skill and its
-scripts.
+## Skill structure
 
-**macOS/Linux**
+A skill is a directory containing a `SKILL.md` file at its root.
 
-```bash
-mkdir -p .gemini/skills/code-reviewer/scripts
-```
-
-**Windows (PowerShell)**
-
-```powershell
-New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path ".gemini\skills\code-reviewer\scripts"
-```
-
-### 2. Define the skill (`SKILL.md`)
-
-The `SKILL.md` file defines the skill's purpose and instructions for the agent.
-Create a file at `.gemini/skills/code-reviewer/SKILL.md`.
-
-```markdown
----
-name: code-reviewer
-description:
-  Expertise in reviewing code changes for correctness, security, and style. Use
-  when the user asks to "review" their code or a PR.
----
-
-# Code Reviewer Instructions
-
-You act as a senior software engineer specialized in code quality. When this
-skill is active, you MUST:
-
-1.  **Analyze**: Review the provided code for logical errors, security
-    vulnerabilities, and style violations.
-2.  **Review**: Use the bundled `scripts/review.js` utility to perform an
-    automated check.
-3.  **Feedback**: Provide constructive feedback, clearly distinguishing between
-    critical issues and minor improvements.
-```
-
-### 3. Add the tool logic
-
-Skills can bundle resources like scripts to perform deterministic tasks. Create
-a file at `.gemini/skills/code-reviewer/scripts/review.js`.
-
-```javascript
-// .gemini/skills/code-reviewer/scripts/review.js
-const file = process.argv[2];
-
-if (!file) {
-  console.error('Usage: node review.js <file>');
-  process.exit(1);
-}
-
-console.log(`Reviewing ${file}...`);
-// Simple mock review logic
-setTimeout(() => {
-  console.log(`Result: Success (No major issues found in ${file})`);
-}, 500);
-```
-
-### 4. Test the skill
-
-Gemini CLI automatically discovers skills in the `.gemini/skills` directory.
-
-1.  Start a new session and ask a question that triggers the skill's
-    description: "Can you review index.js"
-2.  Gemini identifies the request matches the `code-reviewer` description and
-    asks for permission to activate it.
-3.  Once you approve, Gemini executes the bundled script:
-    `node .gemini/skills/code-reviewer/scripts/review.js index.js`
-
-To determine whether your skill has been correctly loaded, run the command:
-
-```bash
-/skills
-```
-
-### 5. Optional: Share your skill
-
-You can share your skills in several ways depending on your target audience.
-
-- **Workspace skills**: Commit your skill to a `.gemini/skills/` directory in
-  your project repository.
-- **Extensions**: Bundle your skill within a
-  [Gemini CLI extension](../extensions/writing-extensions.md).
-- **Git repositories**: Share the skill directory as a standalone Git repo and
-  install it using `gemini skills install <url>`.
-
----
-
-## Core concepts
-
-Now that you've built your first skill, let's explore the core components and
-workflows for developing more complex expertise.
-
-### Skill structure
+### Folder structure
 
 While a `SKILL.md` file is the only required component, we recommend the
-following structure for organizing your skill's resources.
+following structure for organizing your skill's resources:
 
 ```text
 my-skill/
@@ -142,66 +47,34 @@ my-skill/
 └── assets/        (Optional) Templates and other resources
 ```
 
-When a skill is activated, the model is granted access to this entire directory.
-You can instruct the model to use the tools and files found within these
-folders.
+### `SKILL.md` file
 
-### Metadata and triggers
+The `SKILL.md` file is the core of your skill. This file uses YAML frontmatter
+for metadata and Markdown for instructions. For example:
 
-The `SKILL.md` file uses YAML frontmatter for metadata.
+```markdown
+---
+name: code-reviewer
+description:
+  Use this skill to review code. It supports both local changes and remote Pull
+  Requests.
+---
+
+# Code Reviewer
+
+This skill guides the agent in conducting thorough code reviews.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Determine Review Target
+
+- **Remote PR**: If the user gives a PR number or URL, target that remote PR.
+- **Local Changes**: If changes are local... ...
+```
 
 - **`name`**: A unique identifier for the skill. This should match the directory
   name.
-- **`description`**: **CRITICAL.** This is how Gemini decides when to use the
-  skill. Be specific about the tasks it handles and the keywords that should
-  trigger it.
-
-### Discovery tiers
-
-Gemini CLI discovers skills from several locations, following a specific order
-of precedence (lowest to highest):
-
-1.  **Built-in Skills**: Included with Gemini CLI (pre-approved).
-2.  **Extension Skills**: Bundled within [extensions](../extensions/).
-3.  **User Skills**: `~/.gemini/skills/` or the `~/.agents/skills/` alias.
-4.  **Workspace Skills**: `.gemini/skills/` or the `.agents/skills/` alias.
-
-### Discovery aliases
-
-You can use `.agents/skills` as an alternative to `.gemini/skills`. This alias
-is compatible with other AI agent tools following the
-[Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard.
-
-## Advanced development
-
-Once you've built a basic skill, you can use specialized scripts and workflows
-to streamline your development process.
-
-### Creation scripts
-
-If you are developing a skill and want to use the same scripts the built-in
-tools use, you can find them in the core package. These scripts help automate
-the initialization, validation, and packaging of skills.
-
-- **Initialize**: `node scripts/init_skill.cjs <name> --path <dir>`
-- **Validate**: `node scripts/validate_skill.cjs <path/to/skill>`
-- **Package**: `node scripts/package_skill.cjs <path/to/skill>` (Creates a
-  `.skill` zip file)
-
-### Linking for local development
-
-If you are developing a skill in a separate directory, you can link it to your
-user skills directory for testing:
-
-```bash
-gemini skills link .
-```
-

-# Git Worktrees (experimental)
-
-When working on multiple tasks at once, you can use Git worktrees to give each

-working directories that each have their own files and branch while sharing the
-same repository history. This prevents changes in one session from colliding

-
-1.  Use the `/settings` command.
-2.  Search for and set **Enable Git Worktrees** to `true`.

-
-When you exit a worktree session (using `/quit` or `Ctrl+C`), Gemini leaves the
-worktree intact so your work is not lost. This includes your uncommitted changes
-(modified files, staged changes, or untracked files) and any new commits you
-have made.
-
-Gemini prioritizes a fast and safe exit: it **does not automatically delete**
-your worktree or branch. You are responsible for cleaning up your worktrees
-manually once you are finished with them.
-
-When you exit, Gemini displays instructions on how to resume your work or how to
-manually remove the worktree if you no longer need it.

+Cross-platform sandboxing with complete process isolation.
 
-**Prerequisites:**
+**Note**: Requires building the sandbox image locally or using a published image
+from your organization's registry.
 
-- Docker or Podman must be installed and running on your system.
-
-**How it works (Workspace directory):**
-
-Inside the sandbox container, your current working directory is mounted at the
-**exact same absolute path** as it is on your host machine. For example, if you
-run the CLI from `/Users/you/project` on your host machine, the sandbox will
-mount your local project folder and operate within `/Users/you/project` inside
-the container. This allows the AI to seamlessly read and modify your project
-files while remaining isolated from the rest of your system.
-
-**Quick setup:**
-
-To enable Docker sandboxing, run Gemini CLI with the sandbox flag and specify
-Docker as the provider:
-
-```bash
-# Using the environment variable (Recommended)
-export GEMINI_SANDBOX=docker
-gemini -p "build the project"
-
-# Or configure it permanently in your settings.json
-# {"tools": {"sandbox": "docker"}}
-```
-
-**Customizing the Sandbox Image:**
-
-If your project requires specific dependencies, you can specify a custom image
-name or have Gemini CLI build one for you automatically. You can use any Docker
-or Podman image as your sandbox, provided it has standard shell utilities (like
-`bash`) available.
-
-**Option A: Using an existing custom image (e.g., Artifact Registry)**
-
-To configure a custom image that is hosted on a registry (or built locally),
-update your `settings.json` to use an object for the sandbox configuration, or
-set the `GEMINI_SANDBOX_IMAGE` environment variable.
-
-_Example: Configuring via `settings.json`_
-
-```json
-{
-  "tools": {
-    "sandbox": {
-      "command": "docker",
-      "image": "us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/my-project/my-repo/my-custom-sandbox:latest"

-```
-
-**Option B: Building a local custom image automatically**
-
-If you prefer to define your environment as code, you can provide a Dockerfile
-and Gemini CLI will build the image automatically.
-
-1.  Create a `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile` in your project root.
-2.  Ensure you have the `gh` CLI installed and authenticated (if you are using

-### 3. Windows Native Sandbox (Windows only)
-
-... **Troubleshooting and Side Effects:**
-
-The Windows Native sandbox uses the `icacls` command to set a "Low Mandatory
-Level" on files and directories it needs to write to.
-
-- **Persistence**: These integrity level changes are persistent on the
-  filesystem. Even after the sandbox session ends, files created or modified by
-  the sandbox will retain their "Low" integrity level.
-- **Manual Reset**: If you need to reset the integrity level of a file or
-  directory, you can use:
-  ```powershell
-  icacls "C:\path\to\dir" /setintegritylevel Medium
-  ```
-- **System Folders**: The sandbox manager automatically skips setting integrity
-  levels on system folders (like `C:\Windows`) for safety.

+## Configuration
 
-## Sandbox expansion
+### Enable sandboxing (in order of precedence)
 
-Sandbox expansion is a dynamic permission system that lets Gemini CLI request
-additional permissions for a command when needed.
+1. **Command flag**: `-s` or `--sandbox`
+2. **Environment variable**:
+   `GEMINI_SANDBOX=true|docker|podman|sandbox-exec|runsc|lxc`
+3. **Settings file**: `"sandbox": true` in the `tools` object of your
+   `settings.json` file (e.g., `{"tools": {"sandbox": true}}`).
 
-When a sandboxed command fails due to permission restrictions (like restricted
-file paths or network access), or when a command is proactively identified as
-requiring extra permissions (like `npm install`), Gemini CLI will present you
-with a "Sandbox Expansion Request."
+### macOS Seatbelt profiles
 
-### How sandbox expansion works
+Built-in profiles (set via `SEATBELT_PROFILE` env var):
 
-1.  **Detection**: Gemini CLI detects a sandbox denial or proactively identifies
-    a command that requires extra permissions.
-2.  **Request**: A modal dialog is shown, explaining which additional
-    permissions (e.g., specific directories or network access) are required.
-3.  **Approval**: If you approve the expansion, the command is executed with the
-    extended permissions for that specific run.
-
-This mechanism ensures you don't have to manually re-run commands with more
-permissive sandbox settings, while still maintaining control over what the AI
-can access.
-
-### Including files outside the workspace
-
-By default, the sandbox only has access to the current project workspace. If you
-need the sandbox to have permission to operate on certain files or directories
-from the local file system outside of the project workspace, you can mount them
-using the `SANDBOX_MOUNTS` environment variable.
-
-Provide a comma-separated list of mount definitions in the format
-`from:to:opts`. If `to` is omitted, it defaults to the same path as `from`. If
-`opts` is omitted, it defaults to `ro` (read-only). Note that the `from` path
-must be an absolute path.
-
-**Example**:
-
-```bash
-export SANDBOX_MOUNTS="/path/on/host:/path/in/container:rw,/another/path:ro"
-```
-
-## Running inside a Docker container
-
-If you are running Gemini CLI itself from within an official or custom Docker
-container and want to enable sandboxing, you must share the host's Docker socket
-and ensure your workspace paths align.
-
-1.  **Mount the Docker socket**: Map `/var/run/docker.sock` so the CLI can spawn
-    sibling sandbox containers via the host's Docker daemon.
-2.  **Align workspace paths**: The path to your workspace inside the container
-    must exactly match the absolute path on the host. Because the sandbox
-    container is spawned by the host's Docker daemon, it resolves volume mounts
-    against the host file system.
-
-**Example**:
-
-```bash
-docker run -it \
-  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-  -v /absolute/path/on/host/project:/absolute/path/on/host/project \
-  -w /absolute/path/on/host/project \
-  -e GEMINI_SANDBOX=docker \
-  ghcr.io/google/gemini-cli:latest

-# Agent Skill best practices
-
-Create high-quality, reliable Agent Skills by following these established design
-principles and patterns.
-
-## Design for discovery
-
-The most important part of a skill is its `description`. This is the only
-information the model has before activation.
-
-- **Be specific**: Use keywords that are likely to appear in user prompts (for
-  example, "audit," "security," "refactor," "migration").
-- **Define the trigger**: Clearly state _when_ the skill should be used (for
-  example, "Use this skill when the user asks to review a PR for performance
-  regressions").
-- **Avoid overlap**: Ensure your skill descriptions are distinct from one
-  another and from the general capabilities of the model.
-
-## Progressive disclosure
-
-The "context window" is a shared resource. Use a three-level loading system to
-manage context efficiently.
-
-1.  **Metadata (name + description)**: Always in context (~100 words).
-2.  **`SKILL.md` body**: Loaded only after the skill triggers (<5k words).
-3.  **Bundled resources**: Loaded only as needed by the model.
-
-**Best practice**: Keep the `SKILL.md` body focused on core procedural
-instructions. Move detailed reference material, schemas, and examples into
-separate files in a `references/` directory.
-
-## Degrees of freedom
-
-Match the level of instruction specificity to the task's fragility.
-
-- **High freedom (text-based instructions)**: Use when multiple approaches are
-  valid or decisions depend heavily on context.
-- **Medium freedom (pseudocode or scripts with parameters)**: Use when a
-  preferred pattern exists but some variation is acceptable.
-- **Low freedom (specific scripts, few parameters)**: Use when operations are
-  fragile and error-prone, or a specific sequence MUST be followed.
-
-## Bundle resources effectively
-
-Leverage the skill's ability to include scripts and assets to extend the agent's
-capabilities.
-
-- **Use scripts for deterministic tasks**: If a task can be automated with a
-  script (for example, running a linter, fetching data from an API), bundle it
-  in the `scripts/` folder.
-- **Agentic ergonomics**: Ensure scripts output LLM-friendly stdout. Suppress
-  verbose tracebacks and provide clear, concise success/failure messages.
-- **Provide templates**: Include common file headers or boilerplate code in the
-  `assets/` folder to ensure the agent produces consistent output.
-
-## Anatomy of a great skill
-
-A well-structured skill directory organizes its resources into specialized
-sub-folders.
-
-```text
-my-skill/
-├── SKILL.md       (Required) Core instructions and metadata
-├── scripts/       (Optional) Executable logic (Node.js, Python, etc.)
-├── references/    (Optional) Documentation to be loaded as needed
-└── assets/        (Optional) Templates and non-executable resources
-```
-
-## Security and privacy
-
-Design your skills with security in mind to protect your workspace and data.
-
-- **Avoid hardcoded secrets**: Never include API keys or passwords in your
-  skill's scripts or documentation.
-- **Review third-party skills**: Inspect the `SKILL.md` and scripts of any skill
-  before installing it from an untrusted source.
-- **Limit scope**: Design skills to be as focused as possible to minimize the
-  potential impact of errors.

+Agent Skills allow you to extend Gemini CLI with specialized expertise,
+procedural workflows, and task-specific resources. Based on the
 [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) open standard, a "skill" is a
 self-contained directory that packages instructions and assets into a
 discoverable capability.

+## Overview
+
+Unlike general context files ([`GEMINI.md`](./gemini-md.md)), which provide
 persistent workspace-wide background, Skills represent **on-demand expertise**.
-This lets Gemini CLI maintain a vast library of specialized capabilities—such as
-security auditing, cloud deployments, or codebase migrations—without cluttering
-the model's immediate context window.
+This allows Gemini to maintain a vast library of specialized capabilities—such
+as security auditing, cloud deployments, or codebase migrations—without
+cluttering the model's immediate context window.
 
-## How it works
+Gemini autonomously decides when to employ a skill based on your request and the
+skill's description. When a relevant skill is identified, the model "pulls in"
+the full instructions and resources required to complete the task using the
+`activate_skill` tool.
 
-The lifecycle of an Agent Skill involves discovery, activation, and conditional
-resource access.
+## Key Benefits
+
+- **Shared Expertise:** Package complex workflows (like a specific team's PR
+  review process) into a folder that anyone can use.
+- **Repeatable Workflows:** Ensure complex multi-step tasks are performed
+  consistently by providing a procedural framework.
+- **Resource Bundling:** Include scripts, templates, or example data alongside
+  instructions so the agent has everything it needs.
+- **Progressive Disclosure:** Only skill metadata (name and description) is
+  loaded initially. Detailed instructions and resources are only disclosed when
+  the model explicitly activates the skill, saving context tokens.
+
+## Skill Discovery Tiers
+
+Gemini CLI discovers skills from three primary locations:
+
+1.  **Workspace Skills**: Located in `.gemini/skills/` or the `.agents/skills/`
+    alias. Workspace skills are typically committed to version control and
+    shared with the team.
+2.  **User Skills**: Located in `~/.gemini/skills/` or the `~/.agents/skills/`
+    alias. These are personal skills available across all your workspaces.
+3.  **Extension Skills**: Skills bundled within installed
+    [extensions](../extensions/index.md).
+
+**Precedence:** If multiple skills share the same name, higher-precedence
+locations override lower ones: **Workspace > User > Extension**.
+
+Within the same tier (user or workspace), the `.agents/skills/` alias takes
+precedence over the `.gemini/skills/` directory. This generic alias provides an
+intuitive path for managing agent-specific expertise that remains compatible
+across different AI agent tools.
+
+## Managing Skills
+
+### In an Interactive Session
+
+Use the `/skills` slash command to view and manage available expertise:
+
+- `/skills list` (default): Shows all discovered skills and their status.
+- `/skills link <path>`: Links agent skills from a local directory via symlink.
+- `/skills disable <name>`: Prevents a specific skill from being used.
+- `/skills enable <name>`: Re-enables a disabled skill.
+- `/skills reload`: Refreshes the list of discovered skills from all tiers.
+
+_Note: `/skills disable` and `/skills enable` default to the `user` scope. Use
+`--scope workspace` to manage workspace-specific settings._
+
+### From the Terminal
+
+The `gemini skills` command provides management utilities:
+
+```bash
+# List all discovered skills
+gemini skills list
+
+# Link agent skills from a local directory via symlink
+# Discovers skills (SKILL.md or */SKILL.md) and creates symlinks in ~/.gemini/skills
+# (or ~/.agents/skills)
+gemini skills link /path/to/my-skills-repo
+
+# Link to the workspace scope (.gemini/skills or .agents/skills)
+gemini skills link /path/to/my-skills-repo --scope workspace
+
+# Install a skill from a Git repository, local directory, or zipped skill file (.skill)
+# Uses the user scope by default (~/.gemini/skills or ~/.agents/skills)
+gemini skills install https://github.com/user/repo.git
+gemini skills install /path/to/local/skill
+gemini skills install /path/to/local/my-expertise.skill
+
+# Install a specific skill from a monorepo or subdirectory using --path
+gemini skills install https://github.com/my-org/my-skills.git --path skills/frontend-design

-## Discovery tiers
+### Skill activation
 
-Gemini CLI discovers skills from several locations, following a specific order
-of precedence (lowest to highest):
+Once a skill is activated (typically by Gemini identifying a task that matches
+the skill's description and your approval), its specialized instructions and
+resources are loaded into the agent's context. A skill remains active and its
