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

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

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

-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.
+
+    ```bash
+    ./scripts/review.sh <PR_NUMBER> [model]

+
+    **Warning:** If you run `scripts/review.sh`, you must have first verified

+    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>
+    ```

+tool to augment, not replace, their manual review process.

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

+# Profiles
+
+Profiles allow you to maintain separate configurations for different workflows,
+tasks, or personas. Each profile can define its own set of allowed extensions, a
+default model, and a custom system instruction (persona).
+
+Profiles are particularly useful for:
+
+- Switching between domain-specific setups (e.g., frontend development vs.
+  system administration).
+- Defining specialized AI personas for different tasks.
+- Restricting available tools/extensions for specific projects.
+
+## Profile structure
+
+Profiles are Markdown files (`.md`) that use YAML frontmatter for configuration
+and the file body for system instructions.
+
+**Location**: `~/.gemini/profiles/[profile-name].md`
+
+### Example profile (`coder.md`)
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: coder
+default_model: gemini-3.0-flash
+extensions:
+  - github
+  - web-search
+---
+
+You are a world-class Web Developer. Focus on React, TypeScript, and modern CSS.
+Always prefer functional components and explain your reasoning.
+```
+
+### Configuration fields
+
+| Field           | Description                                                                                                                                |
+| :-------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `name`          | (Mandatory) A unique name for the profile. Must be a valid slug (a-z, 0-9, -, \_) and MUST match the filename without the `.md` extension. |
+| `default_model` | (Optional) The model to use when this profile is active.                                                                                   |
+| `extensions`    | (Optional) A list of allowed extension IDs. If specified, only these extensions will be loaded.                                            |
+
+The **body** of the Markdown file is injected into the system prompt, allowing
+you to define a specific persona or set of instructions that the AI will always
+follow when the profile is active.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Single session usage
+
+Use the `--profiles` flag (or `-P`) to use a profile for a single session:
+
+```bash
+gemini --profiles coder
+```
+
+### Persistent default
+
+You can set a profile as your default for all sessions:
+
+```bash
+gemini profiles enable coder
+```
+
+To return to the standard configuration:
+
+```bash
+gemini profiles disable
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command                            | Description                                                  |
+| :--------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `gemini profiles list`             | List all available profiles and see which one is active.     |
+| `gemini profiles enable <name>`    | Set a profile as the persistent default.                     |
+| `gemini profiles disable`          | Clear the persistent default profile.                        |
+| `gemini profiles install <path>`   | Install a new profile from a local file (Markdown).          |
+| `gemini profiles link <path>`      | Create a symlink to an existing profile file on your system. |
+| `gemini profiles uninstall <name>` | Delete a profile from your local storage.                    |

+## Migrating an Extension Repository
+
+If you need to move your extension to a new repository (e.g., from a personal
+account to an organization) or rename it, you can use the `migratedTo` property
+in your `gemini-extension.json` file to seamlessly transition your users.
+
+1. **Create the new repository**: Setup your extension in its new location.
+2. **Update the old repository**: In your original repository, update the
+   `gemini-extension.json` file to include the `migratedTo` property, pointing
+   to the new repository URL, and bump the version number. You can optionally
+   change the `name` of your extension at this time in the new repository.
+   ```json
+   {
+     "name": "my-extension",
+     "version": "1.1.0",
+     "migratedTo": "https://github.com/new-owner/new-extension-repo"
+   }
+   ```
+3. **Release the update**: Publish this new version in your old repository.
+
+When users check for updates, the Gemini CLI will detect the `migratedTo` field,
+verify that the new repository contains a valid extension update, and
+automatically update their local installation to track the new source and name
+moving forward. All extension settings will automatically migrate to the new
+installation.
