-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.

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

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

+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ 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**.
+    - **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.

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

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

+description: >
+  Use this skill 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.

+# This workflow runs daily and scans every open "help wanted" issue that has
+# one or more assignees.  For each assignee it checks whether they have a
+# non-draft pull request (open and ready for review, or already merged) that
+# is linked to the issue.  Draft PRs are intentionally excluded so that
+# contributors cannot reset the check by opening a no-op PR.  If no
+# qualifying PR is found within 7 days of assignment the assignee is
+# automatically removed and a friendly comment is posted so that other
+# contributors can pick up the work.
+# Maintainers, org members, and collaborators (anyone with write access or
+# above) are always exempted and will never be auto-unassigned.

@@ -60,26 +60,54 @@ All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We
 use [GitHub pull requests](https://docs.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests)
 for this purpose.
 
-If your pull request involves changes to `packages/cli` (the frontend), we
-recommend running our automated frontend review tool. **Note: This tool is
-currently experimental.** It helps detect common React anti-patterns, testing
-issues, and other frontend-specific best practices that are easy to miss.
+To assist with the review process, we provide an automated review tool that
+helps detect common anti-patterns, testing issues, and other best practices that
+are easy to miss.
 
-To run the review tool, enter the following command from within Gemini CLI:
+#### Using the automated review tool
 
-```text
-/review-frontend <PR_NUMBER>
-```
+You can run the review tool in two ways:
 
-Replace `<PR_NUMBER>` with your pull request number. Authors are encouraged to
-run this on their own PRs for self-review, and reviewers should use it to
-augment their manual review process.
+1.  **Using the helper script (Recommended):** We provide a script that
+    automatically handles checking out the PR into a separate worktree,
+    installing dependencies, building the project, and launching the review
+    tool.
 
-### Self assigning issues
+    ```bash
+    ./scripts/review.sh <PR_NUMBER> [model]
+    ```
 
-To assign an issue to yourself, simply add a comment with the text `/assign`.
-The comment must contain only that text and nothing else. This command will
-assign the issue to you, provided it is not already assigned.
+    **Warning:** If you run `scripts/review.sh`, you must have first verified
+    that the code for the PR being reviewed is safe to run and does not contain
+    data exfiltration attacks.
+
+    **Authors are strongly encouraged to run this script on their own PRs**
+    immediately after creation. This allows you to catch and fix simple issues
+    locally before a maintainer performs a full review.
+
+    **Note on Models:** By default, the script uses the latest Pro model
+    (`gemini-3.1-pro-preview`). If you do not have enough Pro quota, you can run
+    it with the latest Flash model instead:
+    `./scripts/review.sh <PR_NUMBER> gemini-3-flash-preview`.
+
+2.  **Manually from within Gemini CLI:** If you already have the PR checked out
+    and built, you can run the tool directly from the CLI prompt:
+
+    ```text
+    /review-frontend <PR_NUMBER>
+    ```
+
+Replace `<PR_NUMBER>` with your pull request number. Reviewers should use this
+tool to augment, not replace, their manual review process.
+
+### Self-assigning and unassigning issues
+
+To assign an issue to yourself, simply add a comment with the text `/assign`. To
+unassign yourself from an issue, add a comment with the text `/unassign`.
+
+The comment must contain only that text and nothing else. These commands will
+assign or unassign the issue as requested, provided the conditions are met
+(e.g., an issue must be unassigned to be assigned).

+#### 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",
+      "trust": true,
+      "description": "Corporate compliance tool"
+    },
+    "internal-registry": {
+      "url": "https://registry.corp/mcp",
+      "type": "sse",
+      "authProviderType": "google_credentials",
+      "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.

 ## Highlights
 
-- **Plan Mode Enhancements**: Numerous additions including automatic model
-  switching, custom storage directory configuration, message injection upon
-  manual exit, enforcement of read-only constraints, and centralized tool
-  visibility in the policy engine.
-- **Policy Engine Updates**: Project-level policy support added, alongside MCP
-  server wildcard support, tool annotation propagation and matching, and
-  workspace-level "Always Allow" persistence.
-- **MCP Integration Improvements**: Better integration through support for MCP
-  progress updates with input validation and throttling, environment variable
-  expansion for servers, and full details expansion on tool approval.
-- **CLI & Core UX Enhancements**: Several UI and quality-of-life updates such as
-  Alt+D for forward word deletion, macOS run-event notifications, enhanced
-  folder trust configurations with security warnings, improved startup warnings,
-  and a new experimental browser agent.
-- **Security & Stability**: Introduced the Conseca framework, deceptive URL and
-  Unicode character detection, stricter access checks, rate limits on web fetch,
-  and resolved multiple dependency vulnerabilities.
+- **Subagents & Architecture Enhancements**: Enabled subagents and laid the
+  foundation for subagent tool isolation. Added proxy routing support for remote
+  A2A subagents and integrated `SandboxManager` to sandbox all process-spawning
+  tools.
+- **CLI & UI Improvements**: Introduced customizable keyboard shortcuts and
+  support for literal character keybindings. Added missing vim mode motions and
+  CJK input support. Enabled code splitting and deferred UI loading for improved
+  performance.
+- **Context & Tools Optimization**: JIT context loading is now enabled by
+  default with deduplication for project memory. Introduced a model-driven
+  parallel tool scheduler and allowed safe tools to execute concurrently.
+- **Security & Extensions**: Implemented cryptographic integrity verification
+  for extension updates and added a `disableAlwaysAllow` setting to prevent
+  auto-approvals for enhanced security.
+- **Plan Mode & Web Fetch Updates**: Added an 'All the above' option for
+  multi-select AskUser questions in Plan Mode. Rolled out Stage 1 and Stage 2
+  security and consistency improvements for the `web_fetch` tool.

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

+
+## How to enable Git worktrees
+
+Git worktrees are an experimental feature. You must enable them in your settings
+using the `/settings` command or by manually editing your `settings.json` file.
+
+1.  Use the `/settings` command.
+2.  Search for and set **Enable Git Worktrees** to `true`.
+
+Alternatively, add the following to your `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "experimental": {
+    "worktrees": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## How to use Git worktrees
+
+Use the `--worktree` (`-w`) flag to create an isolated worktree and start Gemini
+CLI in it.
+
+- **Start with a specific name:** The value you pass becomes both the directory
+  name (within `.gemini/worktrees/`) and the branch name.
+
+  ```bash
+  gemini --worktree feature-search
+  ```
+
+- **Start with a random name:** If you omit the name, Gemini generates a random
+  one automatically (for example, `worktree-a1b2c3d4`).
+
+  ```bash
+  gemini --worktree
+  ```
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> Remember to initialize your development environment in each new
+> worktree according to your project's setup. Depending on your stack, this
+> might include running dependency installation (`npm install`, `yarn`), setting
+> up virtual environments, or following your project's standard build process.
+
+## How to exit a Git worktree session
+
+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.
+
+## Resuming work in a Git worktree
+
+To resume a session in a worktree, navigate to the worktree directory and start
+Gemini CLI with the `--resume` flag and the session ID:
+
+```bash
+cd .gemini/worktrees/feature-search
+gemini --resume <session_id>
+```
+
+## Managing Git worktrees manually
+
+For more control over worktree location and branch configuration, or to clean up
+a preserved worktree, you can use Git directly:
+

+Model steering lets you provide real-time guidance and feedback to Gemini CLI
+while it is actively executing a task. This lets you correct course, add missing
+context, or skip unnecessary steps without having to stop and restart the agent.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is an experimental feature currently under active development and
+> may need to be enabled under `/settings`.
+
+Model steering is particularly useful during complex [Plan Mode](./plan-mode.md)
+workflows or long-running subagent executions where you want to ensure the agent
+stays on the right track.
+
+## Enabling model steering
+
+Model steering is an experimental feature and is disabled by default. You can
+enable it using the `/settings` command or by updating your `settings.json`
+file.
+
+1.  Type `/settings` in the Gemini CLI.
+2.  Search for **Model Steering**.
+3.  Set the value to **true**.
+
+Alternatively, add the following to your `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "experimental": {
+    "modelSteering": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Using model steering
+
+When model steering is enabled, Gemini CLI treats any text you type while the
+agent is working as a steering hint.
+
+1.  Start a task (for example, "Refactor the database service").
+2.  While the agent is working (the spinner is visible), type your feedback in
+    the input box.
+3.  Press **Enter**.
+
+Gemini CLI acknowledges your hint with a brief message and injects it directly
+into the model's context for the very next turn. The model then re-evaluates its
+current plan and adjusts its actions accordingly.
+
+### Common use cases
+
+You can use steering hints to guide the model in several ways:
+
+- **Correcting a path:** "Actually, the utilities are in `src/common/utils`."
+- **Skipping a step:** "Skip the unit tests for now and just focus on the
+  implementation."
+- **Adding context:** "The `User` type is defined in `packages/core/types.ts`."
+- **Redirecting the effort:** "Stop searching the codebase and start drafting
+  the plan now."
+- **Handling ambiguity:** "Use the existing `Logger` class instead of creating a
+  new one."
+
+## How it works
+
+When you submit a steering hint, Gemini CLI performs the following actions:
+
+1.  **Immediate acknowledgment:** It uses a small, fast model to generate a
+    one-sentence acknowledgment so you know your hint was received.
+2.  **Context injection:** It prepends an internal instruction to your hint that
+    tells the main agent to:
+    - Re-evaluate the active plan.
+    - Classify the update (for example, as a new task or extra context).
+    - Apply minimal-diff changes to affected tasks.
+3.  **Real-time update:** The hint is delivered to the agent at the beginning of
+    its next turn, ensuring the most immediate course correction possible.

+## Next steps

+- Build custom [Agent Skills](./skills.md).

+# 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.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is an experimental feature currently under active development and
+> 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`:

+  intervene.
+- **Session complete:** Triggered when a session finishes successfully. This is

-### Planning Workflow
+## How to use Plan Mode
 
-Plan Mode uses an adaptive planning workflow where the research depth, plan
-structure, and consultation level are proportional to the task's complexity:
+Plan Mode lets you collaborate with Gemini CLI to design a solution before
+Gemini CLI takes action.
 
-1.  **Explore & Analyze:** Analyze requirements and use read-only tools to map
-    affected modules and identify dependencies.
-2.  **Consult:** The depth of consultation is proportional to the task's
-    complexity:
-    - **Simple Tasks:** Proceed directly to drafting.
-    - **Standard Tasks:** Present a summary of viable approaches via
-      [`ask_user`] for selection.
-    - **Complex Tasks:** Present detailed trade-offs for at least two viable
-      approaches via [`ask_user`] and obtain approval before drafting.
-3.  **Draft:** Write a detailed implementation plan to the
-    [plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies). The plan's structure
-    adapts to the task:
-    - **Simple Tasks:** Focused on specific **Changes** and **Verification**
-      steps.
-    - **Standard Tasks:** Includes an **Objective**, **Key Files & Context**,
-      **Implementation Steps**, and **Verification & Testing**.
-    - **Complex Tasks:** Comprehensive plans including **Background &
-      Motivation**, **Scope & Impact**, **Proposed Solution**, **Alternatives
-      Considered**, a phased **Implementation Plan**, **Verification**, and
-      **Migration & Rollback** strategies.
-4.  **Review & Approval:** Use the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the plan
-    and formally request approval.
-    - **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation.
-    - **Iterate:** Provide feedback to refine the plan.
-    - **Refine manually:** Press **Ctrl + X** to open the plan file in your
-      [preferred external editor]. This allows you to manually refine the plan
-      steps before approval. The CLI will automatically refresh and show the
-      updated plan after you save and close the editor.
+1.  **Provide a goal:** Start by describing what you want to achieve. Gemini CLI
+    will then enter Plan Mode (if it's not already) to research the task.
+2.  **Review research and provide input:** As Gemini CLI analyzes your codebase,
+    it may ask you questions or present different implementation options using
+    [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md). Provide your preferences to help guide
+    the design.
+3.  **Review the plan:** Once Gemini CLI has a proposed strategy, it creates a
+    detailed implementation plan as a Markdown file in your plans directory.
+    - **View:** You can open and read this file to understand the proposed
+      changes.
+    - **Edit:** Press `Ctrl+X` to open the plan directly in your configured
+      external editor.
+
+4.  **Approve or iterate:** Gemini CLI will present the finalized plan for your
+    approval.
+    - **Approve:** If you're satisfied with the plan, approve it to start the
+      implementation immediately: **Yes, automatically accept edits** or **Yes,
+      manually accept edits**.
+    - **Iterate:** If the plan needs adjustments, provide feedback in the input
+      box or [edit the plan file directly](#collaborative-plan-editing). Gemini
+      CLI will refine the strategy and update the plan.
+    - **Cancel:** You can cancel your plan with `Esc`.

+in the implementation plan. This is often faster and more precise than
+describing complex changes in natural language.
 
-- **Keyboard Shortcut:** Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle to the desired mode.
+1.  **Open the plan:** Press `Ctrl+X` when Gemini CLI presents a plan for
+    review.
+2.  **Edit or comment:** The plan opens in your configured external editor (for
+    example, VS Code or Vim). You can:
+    - **Modify steps:** Directly reorder, delete, or rewrite implementation
+      steps.
+    - **Leave comments:** Add inline questions or feedback (for example, "Wait,
+      shouldn't we use the existing `Logger` class here?").
+3.  **Save and close:** Save your changes and close the editor.
+4.  **Review and refine:** Gemini CLI automatically detects the changes, reviews
+    your comments, and adjusts the implementation strategy. It then presents the
+    refined plan for your final approval.
 
-- **Tool:** Gemini CLI calls the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the
-  finalized plan for your approval.
+## How to exit Plan Mode
+
+You can exit Plan Mode at any time, whether you have finalized a plan or want to
+switch back to another mode.
+
+- **Approve a plan:** When Gemini CLI presents a finalized plan, approving it

+
+Hooks such as `BeforeTool` or `AfterTool` can be configured to intercept the

+
+#### Example: Archive approved plans to GCS (`AfterTool`)
+
+If your organizational policy requires a record of all execution plans, you can
+use an `AfterTool` hook to securely copy the plan artifact to Google Cloud
+Storage whenever Gemini CLI exits Plan Mode to start the implementation.
+
+**`.gemini/hooks/archive-plan.sh`:**
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# Extract the plan path from the tool input JSON
+plan_path=$(jq -r '.tool_input.plan_path // empty')
+
+if [ -f "$plan_path" ]; then
+  # Generate a unique filename using a timestamp
+  filename="$(date +%s)_$(basename "$plan_path")"
+
+  # Upload the plan to GCS in the background so it doesn't block the CLI
+  gsutil cp "$plan_path" "gs://my-audit-bucket/gemini-plans/$filename" > /dev/null 2>&1 &
+fi
+
+# AfterTool hooks should generally allow the flow to continue
+echo '{"decision": "allow"}'
+```
+
+To register this `AfterTool` hook, add it to your `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "hooks": {
+    "AfterTool": [
+      {
+        "matcher": "exit_plan_mode",

+## Planning workflows
+
+Plan Mode provides building blocks for structured research and design. These are
+implemented as [extensions](../extensions/index.md) using core planning tools
+like [`enter_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#1-enter_plan_mode-enterplanmode),
+[`exit_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#2-exit_plan_mode-exitplanmode), and
+[`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md).
+
+### Built-in planning workflow
+
+The built-in planner uses an adaptive workflow to analyze your project, consult
+you on trade-offs via [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md), and draft a plan for
+your approval.
+
+### Custom planning workflows
+
+You can install or create specialized planners to suit your workflow.
+
+#### Conductor
+
+[Conductor] is designed for spec-driven development. It organizes work into
+"tracks" and stores persistent artifacts in your project's `conductor/`
+directory:
+
+- **Automate transitions:** Switches to read-only mode via
+  [`enter_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#1-enter_plan_mode-enterplanmode).
+- **Streamline decisions:** Uses [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md) for
+  architectural choices.
+- **Maintain project context:** Stores artifacts in the project directory using
+  [custom plan directory and policies](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies).
+- **Handoff execution:** Transitions to implementation via
+  [`exit_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#2-exit_plan_mode-exitplanmode).
+
+#### Build your own
+
+Since Plan Mode is built on modular building blocks, you can develop your own
+custom planning workflow as an [extensions](../extensions/index.md). By
+leveraging core tools and [custom policies](#custom-policies), you can define
+how Gemini CLI researches and stores plans for your specific domain.
+
+To build a custom planning workflow, you can use:
+
+- **Tool usage:** Use core tools like
+  [`enter_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#1-enter_plan_mode-enterplanmode),
+  [`ask_user`](../tools/ask-user.md), and
+  [`exit_plan_mode`](../tools/planning.md#2-exit_plan_mode-exitplanmode) to
+  manage the research and design process.
+- **Customization:** Set your own storage locations and policy rules using
+  [custom plan directories](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies) and
+  [custom policies](#custom-policies).
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!TIP]
+> Use [Conductor] as a reference when building your own custom
+> planning workflow.
+
+By using Plan Mode as its execution environment, your custom methodology can
+enforce read-only safety during the design phase while benefiting from
+high-reasoning model routing.

+## Cleanup
+
+By default, Gemini CLI automatically cleans up old session data, including all
+associated plan files and task trackers.
+
+- **Default behavior:** Sessions (and their plans) are retained for **30 days**.
+- **Configuration:** You can customize this behavior via the `/settings` command
+  (search for **Session Retention**) or in your `settings.json` file. See
+  [session retention](../cli/session-management.md#session-retention) for more
+  details.
+
+Manual deletion also removes all associated artifacts:
+
+- **Command Line:** Use `gemini --delete-session <index|id>`.
+- **Session Browser:** Press `/resume`, navigate to a session, and press `x`.
+
+If you use a [custom plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies),
+those files are not automatically deleted and must be managed manually.
+
+## Non-interactive execution
+
+When running Gemini CLI in non-interactive environments (such as headless
+scripts or CI/CD pipelines), Plan Mode optimizes for automated workflows:
+
+- **Automatic transitions:** The policy engine automatically approves the
+  `enter_plan_mode` and `exit_plan_mode` tools without prompting for user
+  confirmation.
+- **Automated implementation:** When exiting Plan Mode to execute the plan,
+  Gemini CLI automatically switches to
+  [YOLO mode](../reference/policy-engine.md#approval-modes) instead of the
+  standard Default mode. This allows the CLI to execute the implementation steps
+  automatically without hanging on interactive tool approvals.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```bash
+gemini --approval-mode plan -p "Analyze telemetry and suggest improvements"
+```

+services. This is ideal for tools that don't work in standard Docker containers,
+such as Snapcraft and Rockcraft.
+
+**Prerequisites**:
+
+- Linux only.
+- LXC/LXD must be installed (`snap install lxd` or `apt install lxd`).
+- A container must be created and running before starting Gemini CLI. Gemini
+  does **not** create the container automatically.
+
+**Quick setup**:
+
+```bash
+# Initialize LXD (first time only)
+lxd init --auto
+
+# Create and start an Ubuntu container
+lxc launch ubuntu:24.04 gemini-sandbox
+
+# Enable LXC sandboxing
+export GEMINI_SANDBOX=lxc
+gemini -p "build the project"
+```
+
+**Custom container name**:
+
+```bash
+export GEMINI_SANDBOX=lxc
+export GEMINI_SANDBOX_IMAGE=my-snapcraft-container
+gemini -p "build the snap"
+```
+
+**Limitations**:
+
+- Linux only (LXC is not available on macOS or Windows).
+- The container must already exist and be running.
+- The workspace directory is bind-mounted into the container at the same
+  absolute path — the path must be writable inside the container.
+- Used with tools like Snapcraft or Rockcraft that require a full system.

 ### Session retention
 
-To prevent your history from growing indefinitely, enable automatic cleanup
-policies in your settings.
+By default, Gemini CLI automatically cleans up old session data to prevent your
+history from growing indefinitely. When a session is deleted, Gemini CLI also
+removes all associated data, including implementation plans, task trackers, tool
+outputs, and activity logs.
+
+The default policy is to **retain sessions for 30 days**.
+
+#### Configuration
+
+You can customize these policies using the `/settings` command or by manually
+editing your `settings.json` file:
 
 ```json
 {
   "general": {
     "sessionRetention": {
       "enabled": true,
-      "maxAge": "30d", // Keep sessions for 30 days
-      "maxCount": 50 // Keep the 50 most recent sessions
+      "maxAge": "30d",
+      "maxCount": 50
     }
   }
 }
 ```
 
 - **`enabled`**: (boolean) Master switch for session cleanup. Defaults to
-  `false`.
+  `true`.
 - **`maxAge`**: (string) Duration to keep sessions (for example, "24h", "7d",
-  "4w"). Sessions older than this are deleted.
+  "4w"). Sessions older than this are deleted. Defaults to `"30d"`.
 - **`maxCount`**: (number) Maximum number of sessions to retain. The oldest
-  sessions exceeding this count are deleted.
+  sessions exceeding this count are deleted. Defaults to undefined (unlimited).
 - **`minRetention`**: (string) Minimum retention period (safety limit). Defaults
   to `"1d"`. Sessions newer than this period are never deleted by automatic
   cleanup.

+# Use Plan Mode with model steering for complex tasks
+
+Architecting a complex solution requires precision. By combining Plan Mode's
+structured environment with model steering's real-time feedback, you can guide
+Gemini CLI through the research and design phases to ensure the final
+implementation plan is exactly what you need.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore -->
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is an experimental feature currently under active development and
+> may need to be enabled under `/settings`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
+- [Plan Mode](../plan-mode.md) enabled in your settings.
+- [Model steering](../model-steering.md) enabled in your settings.
+
+## Why combine Plan Mode and model steering?
+
+[Plan Mode](../plan-mode.md) typically follows a linear path: research, propose,
+and draft. Adding model steering lets you:
+
+1.  **Direct the research:** Correct the agent if it's looking in the wrong
+    directory or missing a key dependency.
+2.  **Iterate mid-draft:** Suggest a different architectural pattern while the
+    agent is still writing the plan.
+3.  **Speed up the loop:** Avoid waiting for a full research turn to finish
+    before providing critical context.
+
+## Step 1: Start a complex task
+
+Enter Plan Mode and start a task that requires research.
+
+**Prompt:** `/plan I want to implement a new notification service using Redis.`
+
+Gemini CLI enters Plan Mode and starts researching your existing codebase to
+identify where the new service should live.
+
+## Step 2: Steer the research phase
+
+As you see the agent calling tools like `list_directory` or `grep_search`, you
+might realize it's missing the relevant context.
+
+**Action:** While the spinner is active, type your hint:
+`"Don't forget to check packages/common/queues for the existing Redis config."`
+
+**Result:** Gemini CLI acknowledges your hint and immediately incorporates it
+into its research. You'll see it start exploring the directory you suggested in
+its very next turn.
+
+## Step 3: Refine the design mid-turn
+
+After research, the agent starts drafting the implementation plan. If you notice
+it's proposing a design that doesn't align with your goals, steer it.
+
+**Action:** Type:
+`"Actually, let's use a Publisher/Subscriber pattern instead of a simple queue for this service."`
+
+**Result:** The agent stops drafting the current version of the plan,
+re-evaluates the design based on your feedback, and starts a new draft that uses
+the Pub/Sub pattern.
+
+## Step 4: Approve and implement
+
+Once the agent has used your hints to craft the perfect plan, review the final
+`.md` file.
+
+**Action:** Type: `"Looks perfect. Let's start the implementation."`
+
+Gemini CLI exits Plan Mode and transitions to the implementation phase. Because
+the plan was refined in real-time with your feedback, the agent can now execute
+each step with higher confidence and fewer errors.
+
+## Tips for effective steering
+
+- **Be specific:** Instead of "do it differently," try "use the existing
+  `Logger` class in `src/utils`."
+- **Steer early:** Providing feedback during the research phase is more
+  efficient than waiting for the final plan to be drafted.
+- **Use for context:** Steering is a great way to provide knowledge that might
+  not be obvious from reading the code (e.g., "We are planning to deprecate this
+  module next month").
+
+## Next steps
+
+- Explore [Agent Skills](../skills.md) to add specialized expertise to your
+  planning turns.
+- See the [Model steering reference](../model-steering.md) for technical
