+## Mission: Find Relevant Documentation
+
+Your task is to find documentation files relevant to the user's question within the current git repository and provide a list of GitHub URLs to view them.
+
+### Workflow:
+
+1.  **Identify Repository Details**:
+    *   You may use shell commands like `git` or `gh` to get the remote URL of the repository.
+    *   From the remote URL, parse and construct the base GitHub URL (e.g., `https://github.com/user/repo`). You must handle both HTTPS (`https://github.com/user/repo.git`) and SSH (`git@github.com:user/repo.git`) formats.
+    *   Determine the default branch name. You can assume `main` for this purpose, as it is the most common.
+
+2.  **Search for Documentation**:
+    *   First, perform a targeted search across the repository for documentation files (e.g., `.md`, `.mdx`) that seem directly related to the user's question.
+    *   If this initial search yields no relevant results, and a `docs/` directory exists, read the content of all files within the `docs/` directory to find relevant information.
+    *   If you still can't find a direct match, broaden your search to include related concepts and synonyms of the keywords in the user's question.
+    *   For each file you identify as potentially relevant, read its content to confirm it addresses the user's query.
+
+3.  **Construct and Output URLs**:
+    *   For each file you identify as relevant, construct the full GitHub URL by combining the base URL, branch, and file path. **Do not use shell commands for this step.**
+    *   The URL format should be: `{BASE_GITHUB_URL}/blob/{BRANCH_NAME}/{PATH_TO_FILE_FROM_REPO_ROOT}`.
+    *   Present the final list to the user as a markdown list. Each item in the list should be the URL to the document, followed by a short summary of its content.
+    *   If, after all search attempts, you cannot find any relevant documentation, ask the user clarifying questions to better understand their needs. Do not return any URLs in this case.

+## Mission: Comprehensive Pull Request Review
+
+Today, our mission is to meticulously review community pull requests (PRs) for this project. We will proceed systematically, evaluating each candidate PR for its quality, adherence to standards, and readiness for merging.
+
+### Workflow:
+
+1.  **PR Preparation & Initial Assessment**:
+    * **You will check out the designated PR {{args}}** into a temporary branch.
+    * **Execute the preflight checks (`npm run preflight`)**. This includes building, linting, and running all unit tests.
+    * Analyze the output of these preflight checks, noting any failures, warnings, or linting issues.
+
+2.  **In-Depth Code Review**:
+    * **Your primary role is to conduct a thorough and in-depth code review** of the changes introduced in the PR. Focus your analysis on the following criteria:
+        * **Correctness**: Does the code achieve its stated purpose without bugs or logical errors?
+        * **Maintainability**: Is the code clean, well-structured, and easy to understand and modify in the future? Consider factors like code clarity, modularity, and adherence to established design patterns.
+        * **Readability**: Is the code well-commented (where necessary) and consistently formatted according to our project's coding style guidelines?
+        * **Efficiency**: Are there any obvious performance bottlenecks or resource inefficiencies introduced by the changes?
+        * **Security**: Are there any potential security vulnerabilities or insecure coding practices?
+        * **Edge Cases and Error Handling**: Does the code appropriately handle edge cases and potential errors?
+        * **Testability**: Is the new or modified code adequately covered by tests (even if preflight checks pass)? Suggest additional test cases that would improve coverage or robustness.
+    * Based on your analysis, you will determine if the PR is **safe to merge**.
+
+3.  **Reviewing Previous Feedback**:
+    * **Access and examine the PR's history** to identify any **outstanding requests or unresolved comments from previous reviews**. Incorporate these into your current review and explicitly highlight if they have been adequately addressed in the current state of the PR.
+
+4.  **Decision and Output Generation**:
+    * **If the PR is deemed safe to merge** (after your comprehensive review and considering previous feedback):
+        * Draft a **friendly, concise, and professional approval message**.
+        * **The approval message should:**
+            * Clearly state that the PR is approved.
+            * Briefly acknowledge the quality or value of the contribution (e.g., "Great work on X feature!" or "Appreciate the fix for Y issue!").
+            * **Do NOT mention the preflight checks or unit testing**, as these are internal processes.
+            * Be suitable for public display on GitHub.
+    * **If the PR is NOT safe to merge**:
+        * Provide a **clear, constructive, and detailed summary of the issues found**.
+        * Suggest **specific actionable changes** required for the PR to become merge-ready.
+        * Ensure the feedback is professional and encourages the contributor.
+
+### Post-PR Action:
+
+* After providing your review and decision for the current PR, I will wait for you to perform any manual testing you wish to do. Please let me know when you are finished.
+* Once you have confirmed that you are done, I will switch to the `main` branch, clean up the local branch, and perform a pull to ensure we are synchronized with the latest upstream changes for the next review.

+            ## Role
+            You are an issue de-duplication assistant. Your goal is to find
+            duplicate issues for a given issue.
+            ## Steps
+            1.  **Find Potential Duplicates:**
+                - The repository is ${{ github.repository }} and the issue number is ${{ github.event.issue.number }}.
+                - Use the `duplicates` tool with the `repo` and `issue_number` to find potential duplicates for the current issue. Do not use the `threshold` parameter.
+                - If no duplicates are found, you are done.
+                - Print the JSON output from the `duplicates` tool to the logs.
+            2.  **Refine Duplicates List (if necessary):**
+                - If the `duplicates` tool returns between 1 and 14 results, you must refine the list.
+                - For each potential duplicate issue, run `gh issue view <issue-number> --json title,body,comments` to fetch its content.
+                - Also fetch the content of the original issue: `gh issue view "${ISSUE_NUMBER}" --json title,body,comments`.
+                - Carefully analyze the content (title, body, comments) of the original issue and all potential duplicates.
+                - It is very important if the comments on either issue mention that they are not duplicates of each other, to treat them as not duplicates.
+                - Based on your analysis, create a final list containing only the issues you are highly confident are actual duplicates.
+                - If your final list is empty, you are done.
+                - Print to the logs if you omitted any potential duplicates based on your analysis.
+                - If the `duplicates` tool returned 15+ results, use the top 15 matches (based on descending similarity score value) to perform this step.
+            3.  **Output final duplicates list as CSV:**
+                - Convert the list of appropriate duplicate issue numbers into a comma-separated list (CSV). If there are no appropriate duplicates, use the empty string.
+                - Use the "echo" shell command to append the CSV of issue numbers into the filepath referenced by the environment variable "${GITHUB_ENV}":
+                  echo "DUPLICATE_ISSUES_CSV=[DUPLICATE_ISSUES_AS_CSV]" >> "${GITHUB_ENV}"
+            ## Guidelines
+            - Only use the `duplicates` and `run_shell_command` tools.
+            - The `run_shell_command` tool can be used with `gh issue view`.
+            - Do not download or read media files like images, videos, or links. The `--json` flag for `gh issue view` will prevent this.
+            - Do not modify the issue content or status.
+            - Do not add comments or labels.
+            - Reference all shell variables as "${VAR}" (with quotes and braces).

+            ## Role
 
-            Steps:
-            1. Run: `gh label list --repo ${{ github.repository }} --limit 100` to get all available labels.
-            2. Review the issue title and body provided in the environment variables.
-            3. Select the most relevant labels from the existing labels, focusing on kind/*, area/*, and priority/*.
-            4. Apply the selected labels to this issue using: `gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number }} --repo ${{ github.repository }} --add-label "label1,label2"`
-            5. If the issue has a "status/need-triage" label, remove it after applying the appropriate labels: `gh issue edit ${{ github.event.issue.number }} --repo ${{ github.repository }} --remove-label "status/need-triage"`
+            You are an issue triage assistant. Analyze the current GitHub issue
+            and identify the most appropriate existing labels by only using the provided data. Use the available
+            tools to gather information; do not ask for information to be
+            provided. Do not remove the following labels titled maintainer,  help wanted or good first issue.
 
-            Guidelines:
-            - Only use labels that already exist in the repository.
-            - Do not add comments or modify the issue content.
-            - Triage only the current issue.
-            - Assign all applicable kind/*, area/*, and priority/* labels based on the issue content.
+            ## Steps
 
-            Guidelines:
-            - Only use labels that already exist in the repository.
-            - Do not add comments or modify the issue content.
-            - Triage only the current issue.
-            - Assign all applicable kind/*, area/*, and priority/* labels based on the issue content.
+            1. You are only able to use the echo command. Review the available labels in the environment variable: "${AVAILABLE_LABELS}".
+            2. Review the issue title and body provided in the environment variables: "${ISSUE_TITLE}" and "${ISSUE_BODY}".
+            3. Select the most relevant labels from the existing labels, focusing on kind/*, area/*, sub-area/* and priority/*. For area/* and kind/* limit yourself to only the single most applicable label in each case.
+            4. If the issue already has area/ label, dont try to change it. Similarly, if the issue already has a kind/ label don't change it. And if the issue already has a priority/ label do not change it for example:
+               If an issue has area/core and kind/bug  you will only add a priority/ label.
+               Instead if an issue has no labels, you will could add one lable of each kind.
+            5. For each issue please check if CLI version is present, this is usually in the output of the /about command and will look like 0.1.5 for anything more than 6 versions older than the most recent should add the status/need-retesting label.
+            6. If you see that the issue doesn't look like it has sufficient information recommend the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely requesting the relevant information, eg.. if repro steps are missing request for repro steps. if version information is missing request for version information into the explanation section below.
+            7. Output the appropriate labels for this issue in JSON format with explanation, for example:
+               ```
+               {"labels_to_set": ["kind/bug", "priority/p0"], "explanation": "This is a critical bug report affecting main functionality"}
+               ```
+            8. If the issue cannot be classified using the available labels, output:
+               ```
+               {"labels_to_set": [], "explanation": "Unable to classify this issue with available labels"}
+               ```
+            9. Use Area definitions mentioned below to help you narrow down issues.
+            10. If you think an issue might be a Priority/P0 do not apply the priority/p0 label. Instead apply a status/manual-triage label and include a note in your explanation.
+            11. If you are uncertain and have not been able to apply one each of kind/, area/ and priority/ , apply the status/manual-triage label.
+
+            ## Guidelines
+
+            - Only use labels that already exist in the repository
+            - Do not add comments or modify the issue content
+            - Triage only the current issue
+            - Identify only one area/ label
+            - Identify only one kind/ label
+            - Identify all applicable sub-area/* and priority/* labels based on the issue content. It's ok to have multiple of these
+            - Once you categorize the issue if it needs information bump down the priority by 1 eg.. a p0 would become a p1 a p1 would become a p2. P2 and P3 can stay as is in this scenario
+            - Reference all shell variables as "${VAR}" (with quotes and braces)
+            - Output only valid JSON format
+            - Do not include any explanation or additional text, just the JSON
+
+            Categorization Guidelines:
+            P0: Critical / Blocker
+            - A P0 bug is a catastrophic failure that demands immediate attention.
+            - To be a P0 it means almost all users are running into this issue and it is blocking users from being able to use the product.
+            - You would see this in the form of many comments from different developers on the bug.
+            - It represents a complete showstopper for a significant portion of users or for the development process itself.
+            Impact:
+            - Blocks development or testing for the entire team.
+            - Major security vulnerability that could compromise user data or system integrity.
+            - Causes data loss or corruption with no workaround.
+            - Crashes the application or makes a core feature completely unusable for all or most users in a production environment. Will it cause severe quality degration? Is it preventing contributors from contributing to the repository or is it a release blocker?
+            Qualifier: Is the main function of the software broken?
+            Example: The gemini auth login command fails with an unrecoverable error, preventing any user from authenticating and using the rest of the CLI.
+            P1: High
+            - A P1 bug is a serious issue that significantly degrades the user experience or impacts a core feature.
+            - While not a complete blocker, it's a major problem that needs a fast resolution. Feature requests are almost never P1.
+            - Once again this would be affecting many users.
+            - You would see this in the form of comments from different developers on the bug.
+            Impact:
+            - A core feature is broken or behaving incorrectly for a large number of users or large number of use cases.
+            - Review the bug details and comments to try figure out if this issue affects a large set of use cases or if it's a narrow set of use cases.
+            - Severe performance degradation making the application frustratingly slow.
+            - No straightforward workaround exists, or the workaround is difficult and non-obvious.
+            Qualifier: Is a key feature unusable or giving very wrong results?
+            Example: Gemini CLI enters a loop when making read-many-files tool call. I am unable to break out of the loop and gemini doesn't follow instructions subsequently.
+            P2: Medium
+            - A P2 bug is a moderately impactful issue. It's a noticeable problem but doesn't prevent the use of the software's main functionality.
+            Impact:
+            - Affects a non-critical feature or a smaller, specific subset of users.
+            - An inconvenient but functional workaround is available and easy to execute.
+            - Noticeable UI/UX problems that don't break functionality but look unprofessional (e.g., elements are misaligned or overlapping).
+            Qualifier: Is it an annoying but non-blocking problem?
+            Example: An error message is unclear or contains a typo, causing user confusion but not halting their workflow.
+            P3: Low
+            - A P3 bug is a minor, low-impact issue that is trivial or cosmetic. It has little to no effect on the overall functionality of the application.
+            Impact:
+            - Minor cosmetic issues like color inconsistencies, typos in documentation, or slight alignment problems on a non-critical page.
+            - An edge-case bug that is very difficult to reproduce and affects a tiny fraction of users.
+            Qualifier: Is it a "nice-to-fix" issue?
+            Example: Spelling mistakes etc.
+            Things you should know:
+            - If users are talking about issues where the model gets downgraded from pro to flash then i want you to categorize that as a performance issue
+            - This product is designed to use different models eg.. using pro, downgrading to flash etc. when users report that they dont expect the model to change those would be categorized as feature requests.
+            Definition of Areas
+            area/ux:
+            - Issues concerning user-facing elements like command usability, interactive features, help docs, and perceived performance.
+            - I am seeing my screen flicker when using Gemini CLI
+            - I am seeing the output malformed
+            - Theme changes aren't taking effect
+            - My keyboard inputs arent' being recognzied
+            area/platform:
+            - Issues related to installation, packaging, OS compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux), and the underlying CLI framework.
+            area/background: Issues related to long-running background tasks, daemons, and autonomous or proactive agent features.
+            area/models:
+            - i am not getting a response that is reasonable or expected. this can include things like
+            - I am calling a tool and the tool is not performing as expected.
+            - i am expecting a tool to be called and it is not getting called ,
+            - Including experience when using
+            - built-in tools (e.g., web search, code interpreter, read file, writefile, etc..),
+            - Function calling issues should be under this area
+            - i am getting responses from the model that are malformed.
+            - Issues concerning Gemini quality of response and inference,
+            - Issues talking about unnecessary token consumption.
+            - Issues talking about Model getting stuck in a loop be watchful as this could be the root cause for issues that otherwise seem like model performance issues.
+            - Memory compression
+            - unexpected responses,
+            - poor quality of generated code
+            area/tools:
+            - These are primarily issues related to Model Context Protocol
+            - These are issues that mention MCP support
+            - feature requests asking for support for new tools.
+            area/core: Issues with fundamental components like command parsing, configuration management, session state, and the main API client logic. Introducing multi-modality
+            area/contribution: Issues related to improving the developer contribution experience, such as CI/CD pipelines, build scripts, and test automation infrastructure.
+            area/authentication: Issues related to user identity, login flows, API key handling, credential storage, and access token management, unable to sign in selecting wrong authentication path etc..
+            area/security-privacy: Issues concerning vulnerability patching, dependency security, data sanitization, privacy controls, and preventing unauthorized data access.
+            area/extensibility: Issues related to the plugin system, extension APIs, or making the CLI's functionality available in other applications, github actions, ide support etc..
+            area/performance: Issues focused on model performance
+            - Issues with running out of capacity,
+            - 429 errors etc..
+            - could also pertain to latency,
+            - other general software performance like, memory usage, CPU consumption, and algorithmic efficiency.
+            - Switching models from one to the other unexpectedly.

+            ## Role
+
+            You are a database maintenance assistant for a GitHub issue deduplication system.
+
+            ## Goal
+
+            Your sole responsibility is to refresh the embeddings for all open issues in the repository to ensure the deduplication database is up-to-date.
+
+            ## Steps
+
+            1.  **Extract Repository Information:** The repository is ${{ github.repository }}.
+            2.  **Refresh Embeddings:** Call the `refresh` tool with the correct `repo`. Do not use the `force` parameter.
+            3.  **Log Output:** Print the JSON output from the `refresh` tool to the logs.
+
+            ## Guidelines
+
+            - Only use the `refresh` tool.
+            - Do not attempt to find duplicates or modify any issues.
+            - Your only task is to call the `refresh` tool and log its output.

+            ## Role
 
-            Repository: ${{ github.repository }}
+            You are an issue triage assistant. Analyze issues and identify
+            appropriate labels. Use the available tools to gather information;
+            do not ask for information to be provided.
 
-            Steps:
-            1. Run: `gh label list --repo ${{ github.repository }} --limit 100` to see available labels
-            2. Run: `cat /tmp/issues_to_triage.json` to get the issues that need triaging
-            3. Parse the JSON array from step 2 and for EACH INDIVIDUAL issue, apply appropriate labels using separate commands:
-               - `gh issue edit ISSUE_NUMBER --repo ${{ github.repository }} --add-label "label1"`
-               - `gh issue edit ISSUE_NUMBER --repo ${{ github.repository }} --add-label "label2"`
-               - Continue for each label separately
+            ## Steps
 
-            IMPORTANT: Label each issue individually, one command per issue, one label at a time if needed.
+            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, focusing on kind/*, area/*, sub-area/* and priority/*.
+            5. If the issue already has area/ label, dont try to change it. Similarly, if the issue already has a kind/ label don't change it. And if the issue already has a priority/ label do not change it for example:
+               If an issue has area/core and kind/bug  you will only add a priority/ label.
+               Instead if an issue has no labels, you will could add one lable of each kind.
+            6. Identify other applicable labels based on the issue content, such as status/*, help wanted, good first issue, etc.
+            7. For area/* and kind/* limit yourself to only the single most applicable label in each case.
+            8. Give me a single short explanation about why you are selecting each label in the process.
+            9. Output a JSON array of objects, each containing the issue number
+               and the labels to add and remove, along with an explanation. For example:
+               ```
+               [
+                 {
+                   "issue_number": 123,
+                   "labels_to_add": ["kind/bug", "priority/p2"],
+                   "labels_to_remove": ["status/need-triage"],
+                   "explanation": "This issue is a bug that needs to be addressed with medium priority."
+                 },
+                 {
+                   "issue_number": 456,
+                   "labels_to_add": ["kind/enhancement"],
+                   "labels_to_remove": [],
+                   "explanation": "This issue is an enhancement request that could improve the user experience."
+                 }
+               ]
+               ```
+              If an issue cannot be classified, do not include it in the output array.
+            10. For each issue please check if CLI version is present, this is usually in the output of the /about command and will look like 0.1.5
+              - Anything more than 6 versions older than the most recent should add the status/need-retesting label
+            11. If you see that the issue doesn't look like it has sufficient information recommend the status/need-information label and leave a comment politely requesting the relevant information, eg.. if repro steps are missing request for repro steps. if version information is missing request for version information into the explanation section below.
+              - After identifying appropriate labels to an issue, add "status/need-triage" label to labels_to_remove in the output.
+            12. If you think an issue might be a Priority/P0 do not apply the priority/p0 label. Instead apply a status/manual-triage label and include a note in your explanation.
+            13. If you are uncertain and have not been able to apply one each of kind/, area/ and priority/ , apply the status/manual-triage label.
 
-            Guidelines:
-            - Only use existing repository labels from step 1
-            - Do not add comments to issues
-            - Triage each issue independently based on title and body content
-            - Focus on applying: kind/* (bug/enhancement/documentation), area/* (core/cli/testing/windows), and priority/* labels
-            - If an issue has insufficient information, consider applying "status/need-information"
-            - After applying appropriate labels to an issue, remove the "status/need-triage" label if present: `gh issue edit ISSUE_NUMBER --repo ${{ github.repository }} --remove-label "status/need-triage"`
-            - Execute one `gh issue edit` command per issue, wait for success before proceeding to the next
+            ## Guidelines
 
-            Example triage logic:
-            - Issues with "bug", "error", "broken" → kind/bug
-            - Issues with "feature", "enhancement", "improve" → kind/enhancement
-            - Issues about Windows/performance → area/windows, area/performance
-            - Critical bugs → priority/p0, other bugs → priority/p1, enhancements → priority/p2
+            - Output only valid JSON format
+            - Do not include any explanation or additional text, just the JSON
+            - Only use labels that already exist in the repository.
+              - Do not add comments or modify the issue content.
+              - Do not remove the following labels maintainer, help wanted or good first issue.
+              - Triage only the current issue.
+              - Identify only one area/ label
+              - Identify only one kind/ label (Do not apply kind/duplicate or kind/parent-issue)
+              - Identify all applicable sub-area/* and priority/* labels based on the issue content. It's ok to have multiple of these.
+              - Once you categorize the issue if it needs information bump down the priority by 1 eg.. a p0 would become a p1 a p1 would become a p2. P2 and P3 can stay as is in this scenario.
+            Categorization Guidelines:
+            P0: Critical / Blocker
+              - A P0 bug is a catastrophic failure that demands immediate attention.
+              - To be a P0 it means almost all users are running into this issue and it is blocking users from being able to use the product.
+              - You would see this in the form of many comments from different developers on the bug.
+              - It represents a complete showstopper for a significant portion of users or for the development process itself.
+            Impact:
+              - Blocks development or testing for the entire team.
+              - Major security vulnerability that could compromise user data or system integrity.
+              - Causes data loss or corruption with no workaround.
+              - Crashes the application or makes a core feature completely unusable for all or most users in a production environment. Will it cause severe quality degration?
+              - Is it preventing contributors from contributing to the repository or is it a release blocker?
+              Qualifier: Is the main function of the software broken?
+              Example: The gemini auth login command fails with an unrecoverable error, preventing any user from authenticating and using the rest of the CLI.
+            P1: High
+              - A P1 bug is a serious issue that significantly degrades the user experience or impacts a core feature.
+              - While not a complete blocker, it's a major problem that needs a fast resolution. Feature requests are almost never P1.
+              - Once again this would be affecting many users.
+              - You would see this in the form of comments from different developers on the bug.
+              Impact:
+              - A core feature is broken or behaving incorrectly for a large number of users or large number of use cases.
+              - Review the bug details and comments to try figure out if this issue affects a large set of use cases or if it's a narrow set of use cases.
+              - Severe performance degradation making the application frustratingly slow.
+              - No straightforward workaround exists, or the workaround is difficult and non-obvious.
+              Qualifier: Is a key feature unusable or giving very wrong results?
+              Example: Gemini CLI enters a loop when making read-many-files tool call. I am unable to break out of the loop and gemini doesn't follow instructions subsequently.
+            P2: Medium
+              - A P2 bug is a moderately impactful issue. It's a noticeable problem but doesn't prevent the use of the software's main functionality.
+              Impact:
+              - Affects a non-critical feature or a smaller, specific subset of users.
+              - An inconvenient but functional workaround is available and easy to execute.
+              - Noticeable UI/UX problems that don't break functionality but look unprofessional (e.g., elements are misaligned or overlapping).
+              Qualifier: Is it an annoying but non-blocking problem?
+              Example: An error message is unclear or contains a typo, causing user confusion but not halting their workflow.
+            P3: Low
+              - A P3 bug is a minor, low-impact issue that is trivial or cosmetic. It has little to no effect on the overall functionality of the application.
+              Impact:
+              - Minor cosmetic issues like color inconsistencies, typos in documentation, or slight alignment problems on a non-critical page.
+              - An edge-case bug that is very difficult to reproduce and affects a tiny fraction of users.
+              Qualifier: Is it a "nice-to-fix" issue?
+              Example: Spelling mistakes etc.
+            Additional Context:
+              - If users are talking about issues where the model gets downgraded from pro to flash then i want you to categorize that as a performance issue
+              - This product is designed to use different models eg.. using pro, downgrading to flash etc.
+              - When users report that they dont expect the model to change those would be categorized as feature requests.
+            Definition of Areas
+            area/ux:
+              - Issues concerning user-facing elements like command usability, interactive features, help docs, and perceived performance.
+              - I am seeing my screen flicker when using Gemini CLI
+              - I am seeing the output malformed
+              - Theme changes aren't taking effect
+              - My keyboard inputs arent' being recognzied
+            area/platform:
+              - Issues related to installation, packaging, OS compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux), and the underlying CLI framework.
+            area/background: Issues related to long-running background tasks, daemons, and autonomous or proactive agent features.
+            area/models:
+              - i am not getting a response that is reasonable or expected. this can include things like
+              - I am calling a tool and the tool is not performing as expected.
+              - i am expecting a tool to be called and it is not getting called ,
+              - Including experience when using
+              - built-in tools (e.g., web search, code interpreter, read file, writefile, etc..),
+              - Function calling issues should be under this area
+              - i am getting responses from the model that are malformed.
+              - Issues concerning Gemini quality of response and inference,
+              - Issues talking about unnecessary token consumption.
+              - Issues talking about Model getting stuck in a loop be watchful as this could be the root cause for issues that otherwise seem like model performance issues.
+              - Memory compression
+              - unexpected responses,
+              - poor quality of generated code
+            area/tools:
+              - These are primarily issues related to Model Context Protocol
+              - These are issues that mention MCP support
+              - feature requests asking for support for new tools.
+            area/core:
+              - Issues with fundamental components like command parsing, configuration management, session state, and the main API client logic. Introducing multi-modality
+            area/contribution:
+              - Issues related to improving the developer contribution experience, such as CI/CD pipelines, build scripts, and test automation infrastructure.
+            area/authentication:
+              -  Issues related to user identity, login flows, API key handling, credential storage, and access token management, unable to sign in selecting wrong authentication path etc..
+            area/security-privacy:
+              - Issues concerning vulnerability patching, dependency security, data sanitization, privacy controls, and preventing unauthorized data access.
+            area/extensibility:
+              - Issues related to the plugin system, extension APIs, or making the CLI's functionality available in other applications, github actions, ide support etc..
+            area/performance:
+              - Issues focused on model performance
+              - Issues with running out of capacity,
+              - 429 errors etc..
+              - could also pertain to latency,
+              - other general software performance like, memory usage, CPU consumption, and algorithmic efficiency.

-On MacOS, `gemini` uses Seatbelt (`sandbox-exec`) under a `permissive-open` profile (see `packages/cli/src/utils/sandbox-macos-permissive-open.sb`) that restricts writes to the project folder but otherwise allows all other operations and outbound network traffic ("open") by default. You can switch to a `restrictive-closed` profile (see `.../sandbox-macos-strict.sb`) that declines all operations and outbound network traffic ("closed") by default by setting `SEATBELT_PROFILE=restrictive-closed` in your environment or `.env` file.

The specified command (or if `true` then either `docker` or `podman`) must be installed on the host machine. Once enabled, `npm run build:all` will build a minimal container ("sandbox") image and `npm start` will launch inside a fresh instance of that container. The first build can take 20-30s (mostly due to downloading of the base image) but after that both build and start overhead should be minimal. Default builds (`npm run build`) will not rebuild the sandbox.

Default builds (`npm run build`) will not rebuild the sandbox.
 
 Container-based sandboxing mounts the project directory (and system temp directory) with read-write access and is started/stopped/removed automatically as you start/stop Gemini CLI. Files created within the sandbox should be automatically mapped to your user/group on host machine. You can easily specify additional mounts, ports, or environment variables by setting `SANDBOX_{MOUNTS,PORTS,ENV}` as needed. You can also fully customize the sandbox for your projects by creating the files `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile` and/or `.gemini/sandbox.bashrc` under your project settings directory (`.gemini`) and running `gemini` with `BUILD_SANDBOX=1` to trigger building of your custom sandbox.
 
 #### Proxied Networking
 
-All sandboxing methods, including MacOS Seatbelt using `*-proxied` profiles, support restricting outbound network traffic through a custom proxy server that can be specified as `GEMINI_SANDBOX_PROXY_COMMAND=<command>`, where `<command>` must start a proxy server that listens on `:::8877` for relevant requests. See `scripts/example-proxy.js` for a minimal proxy that only allows `HTTPS` connections to `example.com:443` (e.g. `curl https://example.com`) and declines all other requests. The proxy is started and stopped automatically alongside the sandbox.

While a variable of type unknown can hold any value, you must perform type narrowing (e.g., using typeof or instanceof checks, or a type assertion) before you can perform any operations on it. This forces you to handle the unknown type explicitly, preventing accidental runtime errors.

   - **Code Smell in Testing**: A common scenario where `any` or type assertions might be tempting is when trying to test "private" implementation details (e.g., spying on or stubbing an unexported function within a module). This is a strong indication of a "code smell" in your testing strategy and potentially your code structure. Instead of trying to force access to private internals, consider whether those internal details should be refactored into a separate module with a well-defined public API. This makes them inherently testable without compromising encapsulation.

 Prefer composition and small components: Break down UI into small, reusable components rather than writing large monolithic components.

Write code that remains correct even if the component function runs more than once. For instance, avoid side effects in the component body and use functional state updates (e.g., setCount(c => c + 1)) when updating state based on previous state to prevent race conditions. Always include cleanup functions in effects that subscribe to external resources. Don't write useEffects for "do this when this changes" side-effects.

+# Gemini CLI Roadmap
+
+The [Official Gemini CLI Roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/google-gemini/projects/11/)
+
+Gemini CLI is an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini directly into your terminal. It provides lightweight access to Gemini, giving you the most direct path from your prompt to our model.
+
+This document outlines our approach to the Gemini CLI roadmap. Here, you'll find our guiding principles and a breakdown of the key areas we are
+focused on for development. Our roadmap is not a static list but a dynamic set of priorities that are tracked live in our GitHub Issues.
+
+As an [Apache 2.0 open source project](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli?tab=Apache-2.0-1-ov-file#readme), we appreciate and welcome [public contributions](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md), and will give first priority to those contributions aligned with our roadmap. If you want to propose a new feature or change to our roadmap, please start by [opening an issue for discussion](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/new/choose).
+
+## Disclaimer
+
+This roadmap represents our current thinking and is for informational purposes only. It is not a commitment or a guarantee of future delivery. The development, release, and timing of any features are subject to change, and we may update the roadmap based on community discussions as well as when our priorities evolve.
+
+## Guiding Principles
+
+Our development is guided by the following principles:
+
+- **Power & Simplicity:** Deliver access to state-of-the-art Gemini models with an intuitive and easy-to-use lightweight command-line interface.
+- **Extensibility:** An adaptable agent to help you with a variety of use cases and environments along with the ability to run these agents anywhere.
+- **Intelligent:** Gemini CLI should be reliably ranked among the best agentic tools as measured by benchmarks like SWE Bench, Terminal Bench, and CSAT.
+- **Free and Open Source:** Foster a thriving open source community where cost isn’t a barrier to personal use, and PRs get merged quickly. This means resolving and closing issues, pull requests, and discussion posts quickly.
+
+## How the Roadmap Works
+
+Our roadmap is managed directly through GitHub Issues. See our entry point Roadmap Issue [here](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/4191). This approach allows for transparency and gives you a direct way to learn more or get involved with any specific initiative. All our roadmap items will be tagged as Type:`Feature` and Label:`maintainer` for features we are actively working on, or Type:`Task` and Label:`maintainer` for a more detailed list of tasks.
+
+Issues are organized to provide key information at a glance:
+
+- **Target Quarter:** `Milestone` denotes the anticipated delivery timeline.
+- **Feature Area:** Labels such as `area/model` or `area/tooling` categorize the work.
+- **Issue Type:** _Workstream_ => _Epics_ => _Features_ => _Tasks|Bugs_
+
+To see what we're working on, you can filter our issues by these dimensions. See all our items [here](https://github.com/orgs/google-gemini/projects/11/views/19)
+
+## Focus Areas
+
+To better organize our efforts, we categorize our work into several key feature areas. These labels are used on our GitHub Issues to help you filter and
+find initiatives that interest you.
+
+- **Authentication:** Secure user access via API keys, Gemini Code Assist login, etc.
+- **Model:** Support new Gemini models, multi-modality, local execution, and performance tuning.
+- **User Experience:** Improve the CLI's usability, performance, interactive features, and documentation.
+- **Tooling:** Built-in tools and the MCP ecosystem.
+- **Core:** Core functionality of the CLI
+- **Extensibility:** Bringing Gemini CLI to other surfaces e.g. GitHub.
+- **Contribution:** Improve the contribution process via test automation and CI/CD pipeline enhancements.
+- **Platform:** Manage installation, OS support, and the underlying CLI framework.
+- **Quality:** Focus on testing, reliability, performance, and overall product quality.
+- **Background Agents:** Enable long-running, autonomous tasks and proactive assistance.
+- **Security and Privacy:** For all things related to security and privacy
+
+## How to Contribute
+
+Gemini CLI is an open-source project, and we welcome contributions from the community! Whether you're a developer, a designer, or just an enthusiastic user you can find our [Community Guidelines here](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) to learn how to get started.

-        - You can temporarily set these environment variables in your current shell session using the following commands:
-          ```bash
-          export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
-          export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true
-          ```
-        - For repeated use, you can add the environment variables to your [.env file](#persisting-environment-variables-with-env-files) or your shell's configuration file (like `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`). For example, the following commands add the environment variables to a `~/.bashrc` file:
-          ```bash
-          echo 'export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"' >> ~/.bashrc
-          echo 'export GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true' >> ~/.bashrc
-          source ~/.bashrc
-          ```
-
-### Persisting Environment Variables with `.env` Files
-
-You can create a **`.gemini/.env`** file in your project directory or in your home directory. Creating a plain **`.env`** file also works, but `.gemini/.env` is recommended to keep Gemini variables isolated from other tools.
-
-Gemini CLI automatically loads environment variables from the **first** `.env` file it finds, using the following search order:
-
-1. Starting in the **current directory** and moving upward toward `/`, for each directory it checks:
-   1. `.gemini/.env`
-   2. `.env`
-2. If no file is found, it falls back to your **home directory**:
-   - `~/.gemini/.env`
-   - `~/.env`
-
-> **Important:** The search stops at the **first** file encountered—variables are **not merged** across multiple files.
-
-#### Examples
-
-**Project-specific overrides** (take precedence when you are inside the project):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p .gemini
-echo 'GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"' >> .gemini/.env
-```
-
-**User-wide settings** (available in every directory):
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.gemini
-cat >> ~/.gemini/.env <<'EOF'
-GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
-GEMINI_API_KEY="your-gemini-api-key"
-EOF

+# Custom Commands
+
+Custom commands let you save and reuse your favorite or most frequently used prompts as personal shortcuts within Gemini CLI. You can create commands that are specific to a single project or commands that are available globally across all your projects, streamlining your workflow and ensuring consistency.
+
+## File locations and precedence
+
+Gemini CLI discovers commands from two locations, loaded in a specific order:
+
+1.  **User Commands (Global):** Located in `~/.gemini/commands/`. These commands are available in any project you are working on.
+2.  **Project Commands (Local):** Located in `<your-project-root>/.gemini/commands/`. These commands are specific to the current project and can be checked into version control to be shared with your team.
+
+If a command in the project directory has the same name as a command in the user directory, the **project command will always be used.** This allows projects to override global commands with project-specific versions.
+
+## Naming and namespacing
+
+The name of a command is determined by its file path relative to its `commands` directory. Subdirectories are used to create namespaced commands, with the path separator (`/` or `\`) being converted to a colon (`:`).
+
+- A file at `~/.gemini/commands/test.toml` becomes the command `/test`.
+- A file at `<project>/.gemini/commands/git/commit.toml` becomes the namespaced command `/git:commit`.
+
+## TOML File Format (v1)
+
+Your command definition files must be written in the TOML format and use the `.toml` file extension.
+
+### Required fields
+
+- `prompt` (String): The prompt that will be sent to the Gemini model when the command is executed. This can be a single-line or multi-line string.
+
+### Optional fields
+
+- `description` (String): A brief, one-line description of what the command does. This text will be displayed next to your command in the `/help` menu. **If you omit this field, a generic description will be generated from the filename.**
+
+## Handling arguments
+
+Custom commands support two powerful methods for handling arguments. The CLI automatically chooses the correct method based on the content of your command\'s `prompt`.
+
+### 1. Context-aware injection with `{{args}}`
+
+If your `prompt` contains the special placeholder `{{args}}`, the CLI will replace that placeholder with the text the user typed after the command name.
+
+The behavior of this injection depends on where it is used:
+
+**A. Raw injection (outside Shell commands)**
+
+When used in the main body of the prompt, the arguments are injected exactly as the user typed them.
+
+**Example (`git/fix.toml`):**
+
+```toml
+# Invoked via: /git:fix "Button is misaligned"
+
+description = "Generates a fix for a given issue."
+prompt = "Please provide a code fix for the issue described here: {{args}}."
+```
+
+The model receives: `Please provide a code fix for the issue described here: "Button is misaligned".`
+
+**B. Using arguments in Shell commands (inside `!{...}` blocks)**
+
+When you use `{{args}}` inside a shell injection block (`!{...}`), the arguments are automatically **shell-escaped** before replacement. This allows you to safely pass arguments to shell commands, ensuring the resulting command is syntactically correct and secure while preventing command injection vulnerabilities.
+
+**Example (`/grep-code.toml`):**
+
+```toml
+prompt = """
+Please summarize the findings for the pattern `{{args}}`.
+
+Search Results:
+!{grep -r {{args}} .}
+"""
+```
+
+When you run `/grep-code It\'s complicated`:
+
+1. The CLI sees `{{args}}` used both outside and inside `!{...}`.
+2. Outside: The first `{{args}}` is replaced raw with `It\'s complicated`.
+3. Inside: The second `{{args}}` is replaced with the escaped version (e.g., on Linux: `"It\'s complicated"`).
+4. The command executed is `grep -r "It\'s complicated" .`.
+5. The CLI prompts you to confirm this exact, secure command before execution.
+6. The final prompt is sent.
+
+### 2. Default argument handling
+
+If your `prompt` does **not** contain the special placeholder `{{args}}`, the CLI uses a default behavior for handling arguments.
+
+If you provide arguments to the command (e.g., `/mycommand arg1`), the CLI will append the full command you typed to the end of the prompt, separated by two newlines. This allows the model to see both the original instructions and the specific arguments you just provided.
+
+If you do **not** provide any arguments (e.g., `/mycommand`), the prompt is sent to the model exactly as it is, with nothing appended.
+
+**Example (`changelog.toml`):**
+
+This example shows how to create a robust command by defining a role for the model, explaining where to find the user's input, and specifying the expected format and behavior.
+
+```toml
+# In: <project>/.gemini/commands/changelog.toml
+# Invoked via: /changelog 1.2.0 added "Support for default argument parsing."
+
+description = "Adds a new entry to the project\'s CHANGELOG.md file."
+prompt = """
+# Task: Update Changelog
+
+You are an expert maintainer of this software project. A user has invoked a command to add a new entry to the changelog.
+
+**The user\'s raw command is appended below your instructions.**
+
+Your task is to parse the `<version>`, `<change_type>`, and `<message>` from their input and use the `write_file` tool to correctly update the `CHANGELOG.md` file.
+
+## Expected Format
+The command follows this format: `/changelog <version> <type> <message>`
+- `<type>` must be one of: "added", "changed", "fixed", "removed".
+
+## Behavior
+1. Read the `CHANGELOG.md` file.
+2. Find the section for the specified `<version>`.
+3. Add the `<message>` under the correct `<type>` heading.
+4. If the version or type section doesn\'t exist, create it.
+5. Adhere strictly to the "Keep a Changelog" format.
+"""
+```
+
+When you run `/changelog 1.2.0 added "New feature"`, the final text sent to the model will be the original prompt followed by two newlines and the command you typed.
+
+### 3. Executing Shell commands with `!{...}`
+
+You can make your commands dynamic by executing shell commands directly within your `prompt` and injecting their output. This is ideal for gathering context from your local environment, like reading file content or checking the status of Git.
+
+When a custom command attempts to execute a shell command, Gemini CLI will now prompt you for confirmation before proceeding. This is a security measure to ensure that only intended commands can be run.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1.  **Inject commands:** Use the `!{...}` syntax.
+2.  **Argument substitution:** If `{{args}}` is present inside the block, it is automatically shell-escaped (see [Context-Aware Injection](#1-context-aware-injection-with-args) above).
+3.  **Robust parsing:** The parser correctly handles complex shell commands that include nested braces, such as JSON payloads. **Note:** The content inside `!{...}` must have balanced braces (`{` and `}`). If you need to execute a command containing unbalanced braces, consider wrapping it in an external script file and calling the script within the `!{...}` block.
+4.  **Security check and confirmation:** The CLI performs a security check on the final, resolved command (after arguments are escaped and substituted). A dialog will appear showing the exact command(s) to be executed.
+5.  **Execution and error reporting:** The command is executed. If the command fails, the output injected into the prompt will include the error messages (stderr) followed by a status line, e.g., `[Shell command exited with code 1]`. This helps the model understand the context of the failure.
+
+**Example (`git/commit.toml`):**
+
+This command gets the staged git diff and uses it to ask the model to write a commit message.
+
+````toml
+# In: <project>/.gemini/commands/git/commit.toml
+# Invoked via: /git:commit
+
+description = "Generates a Git commit message based on staged changes."
+
+# The prompt uses !{...} to execute the command and inject its output.
+prompt = """
+Please generate a Conventional Commit message based on the following git diff:
+
+```diff
+!{git diff --staged}
+```
+
+"""
+
+````
+
+When you run `/git:commit`, the CLI first executes `git diff --staged`, then replaces `!{git diff --staged}` with the output of that command before sending the final, complete prompt to the model.
+
+### 4. Injecting file content with `@{...}`
+
+You can directly embed the content of a file or a directory listing into your prompt using the `@{...}` syntax. This is useful for creating commands that operate on specific files.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+- **File injection**: `@{path/to/file.txt}` is replaced by the content of `file.txt`.
+- **Multimodal support**: If the path points to a supported image (e.g., PNG, JPEG), PDF, audio, or video file, it will be correctly encoded and injected as multimodal input. Other binary files are handled gracefully and skipped.
+- **Directory listing**: `@{path/to/dir}` is traversed and each file present within the directory and all subdirectories is inserted into the prompt. This respects `.gitignore` and `.geminiignore` if enabled.
+- **Workspace-aware**: The command searches for the path in the current directory and any other workspace directories. Absolute paths are allowed if they are within the workspace.
+- **Processing order**: File content injection with `@{...}` is processed _before_ shell commands (`!{...}`) and argument substitution (`{{args}}`).
+- **Parsing**: The parser requires the content inside `@{...}` (the path) to have balanced braces (`{` and `}`).
+
+**Example (`review.toml`):**
+
+This command injects the content of a _fixed_ best practices file (`docs/best-practices.md`) and uses the user\'s arguments to provide context for the review.
+
+```toml
+# In: <project>/.gemini/commands/review.toml
+# Invoked via: /review FileCommandLoader.ts
+
+description = "Reviews the provided context using a best practice guide."
+prompt = """
+You are an expert code reviewer.
+
+Your task is to review {{args}}.
+
+Use the following best practices when providing your review:
+
+@{docs/best-practices.md}
+"""
+```
+
+When you run `/review FileCommandLoader.ts`, the `@{docs/best-practices.md}` placeholder is replaced by the content of that file, and `{{args}}` is replaced by the text you provided, before the final prompt is sent to the model.
+
+---
+
+## Example: A "Pure Function" refactoring command
+
+Let's create a global command that asks the model to refactor a piece of code.
+
+**1. Create the file and directories:**
+
+First, ensure the user commands directory exists, then create a `refactor` subdirectory for organization and the final TOML file.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.gemini/commands/refactor
+touch ~/.gemini/commands/refactor/pure.toml
+```
+
+**2. Add the content to the file:**
+
+Open `~/.gemini/commands/refactor/pure.toml` in your editor and add the following content. We are including the optional `description` for best practice.
+
+```toml
+# In: ~/.gemini/commands/refactor/pure.toml
+# This command will be invoked via: /refactor:pure
+
+description = "Asks the model to refactor the current context into a pure function."
+
+prompt = """
+Please analyze the code I\'ve provided in the current context.
+Refactor it into a pure function.
+
+Your response should include:
+1. The refactored, pure function code block.
+2. A brief explanation of the key changes you made and why they contribute to purity.
+"""
+```
+
+**3. Run the Command:**
+
+That's it! You can now run your command in the CLI. First, you might add a file to the context, and then invoke your command:
+
+```
+> @my-messy-function.js
+> /refactor:pure
+```
+
+Gemini CLI will then execute the multi-line prompt defined in your TOML file.

+# Gemini CLI for the Enterprise
+
+This document outlines configuration patterns and best practices for deploying and managing Gemini CLI in an enterprise environment. By leveraging system-level settings, administrators can enforce security policies, manage tool access, and ensure a consistent experience for all users.
+
+> **A Note on Security:** The patterns described in this document are intended to help administrators create a more controlled and secure environment for using Gemini CLI. However, they should not be considered a foolproof security boundary. A determined user with sufficient privileges on their local machine may still be able to circumvent these configurations. These measures are designed to prevent accidental misuse and enforce corporate policy in a managed environment, not to defend against a malicious actor with local administrative rights.
+
+## Centralized Configuration: The System Settings File
+
+The most powerful tools for enterprise administration are the system-wide settings files. These files allow you to define a baseline configuration (`system-defaults.json`) and a set of overrides (`settings.json`) that apply to all users on a machine. For a complete overview of configuration options, see the [Configuration documentation](../get-started/configuration.md).
+
+Settings are merged from four files. The precedence order for single-value settings (like `theme`) is:
+
+1. System Defaults (`system-defaults.json`)
+2. User Settings (`~/.gemini/settings.json`)
+3. Workspace Settings (`<project>/.gemini/settings.json`)
+4. System Overrides (`settings.json`)
+
+This means the System Overrides file has the final say. For settings that are arrays (`includeDirectories`) or objects (`mcpServers`), the values are merged.
+
+**Example of Merging and Precedence:**
+
+Here is how settings from different levels are combined.
+
+- **System Defaults `system-defaults.json`:**
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "ui": {
+      "theme": "default-corporate-theme"
+    },
+    "context": {
+      "includeDirectories": ["/etc/gemini-cli/common-context"]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **User `settings.json` (`~/.gemini/settings.json`):**
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "ui": {
+      "theme": "user-preferred-dark-theme"
+    },
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "corp-server": {
+        "command": "/usr/local/bin/corp-server-dev"
+      },
+      "user-tool": {
+        "command": "npm start --prefix ~/tools/my-tool"
+      }
+    },
+    "context": {
+      "includeDirectories": ["~/gemini-context"]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Workspace `settings.json` (`<project>/.gemini/settings.json`):**
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "ui": {
+      "theme": "project-specific-light-theme"
+    },
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "project-tool": {
+        "command": "npm start"
+      }
+    },
+    "context": {
+      "includeDirectories": ["./project-context"]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **System Overrides `settings.json`:**
+  ```json
+  {
+    "ui": {
+      "theme": "system-enforced-theme"
+    },
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "corp-server": {
+        "command": "/usr/local/bin/corp-server-prod"
+      }
+    },
+    "context": {
+      "includeDirectories": ["/etc/gemini-cli/global-context"]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+This results in the following merged configuration:
+
+- **Final Merged Configuration:**
+  ```json
+  {
+    "ui": {
+      "theme": "system-enforced-theme"
+    },
+    "mcpServers": {
+      "corp-server": {
+        "command": "/usr/local/bin/corp-server-prod"
+      },
+      "user-tool": {
+        "command": "npm start --prefix ~/tools/my-tool"
+      },
+      "project-tool": {
+        "command": "npm start"
+      }
+    },
+    "context": {
+      "includeDirectories": [
+        "/etc/gemini-cli/common-context",
+        "~/gemini-context",
+        "./project-context",
+        "/etc/gemini-cli/global-context"
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+**Why:**
+
+- **`theme`**: The value from the system overrides (`system-enforced-theme`) is used, as it has the highest precedence.
+- **`mcpServers`**: The objects are merged. The `corp-server` definition from the system overrides takes precedence over the user's definition. The unique `user-tool` and `project-tool` are included.
+- **`includeDirectories`**: The arrays are concatenated in the order of System Defaults, User, Workspace, and then System Overrides.
+
+- **Location**:
+  - **Linux**: `/etc/gemini-cli/settings.json`
+  - **Windows**: `C:\ProgramData\gemini-cli\settings.json`
+  - **macOS**: `/Library/Application Support/GeminiCli/settings.json`
+  - The path can be overridden using the `GEMINI_CLI_SYSTEM_SETTINGS_PATH` environment variable.
+- **Control**: This file should be managed by system administrators and protected with appropriate file permissions to prevent unauthorized modification by users.
+
+By using the system settings file, you can enforce the security and configuration patterns described below.
+
+## Restricting Tool Access
+
+You can significantly enhance security by controlling which tools the Gemini model can use. This is achieved through the `tools.core` and `tools.exclude` settings. For a list of available tools, see the [Tools documentation](../tools/index.md).
+
+### Allowlisting with `coreTools`
+
+The most secure approach is to explicitly add the tools and commands that users are permitted to execute to an allowlist. This prevents the use of any tool not on the approved list.
+
+**Example:** Allow only safe, read-only file operations and listing files.
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "core": ["ReadFileTool", "GlobTool", "ShellTool(ls)"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Blocklisting with `excludeTools`
+
+Alternatively, you can add specific tools that are considered dangerous in your environment to a blocklist.
+
+**Example:** Prevent the use of the shell tool for removing files.
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "exclude": ["ShellTool(rm -rf)"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Security Note:** Blocklisting with `excludeTools` is less secure than allowlisting with `coreTools`, as it relies on blocking known-bad commands, and clever users may find ways to bypass simple string-based blocks. **Allowlisting is the recommended approach.**
+
+## Managing Custom Tools (MCP Servers)
+
+If your organization uses custom tools via [Model-Context Protocol (MCP) servers](../core/tools-api.md), it is crucial to understand how server configurations are managed to apply security policies effectively.
+
+### How MCP Server Configurations are Merged
+
+Gemini CLI loads `settings.json` files from three levels: System, Workspace, and User. When it comes to the `mcpServers` object, these configurations are **merged**:
+
+1.  **Merging:** The lists of servers from all three levels are combined into a single list.
+2.  **Precedence:** If a server with the **same name** is defined at multiple levels (e.g., a server named `corp-api` exists in both system and user settings), the definition from the highest-precedence level is used. The order of precedence is: **System > Workspace > User**.
+
+This means a user **cannot** override the definition of a server that is already defined in the system-level settings. However, they **can** add new servers with unique names.
+
+### Enforcing a Catalog of Tools
+
+The security of your MCP tool ecosystem depends on a combination of defining the canonical servers and adding their names to an allowlist.
+
+### Restricting Tools Within an MCP Server
+
+For even greater security, especially when dealing with third-party MCP servers, you can restrict which specific tools from a server are exposed to the model. This is done using the `includeTools` and `excludeTools` properties within a server's definition. This allows you to use a subset of tools from a server without allowing potentially dangerous ones.
+
+Following the principle of least privilege, it is highly recommended to use `includeTools` to create an allowlist of only the necessary tools.
+
+**Example:** Only allow the `code-search` and `get-ticket-details` tools from a third-party MCP server, even if the server offers other tools like `delete-ticket`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp": {
+    "allowed": ["third-party-analyzer"]
+  },
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "third-party-analyzer": {
+      "command": "/usr/local/bin/start-3p-analyzer.sh",
+      "includeTools": ["code-search", "get-ticket-details"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### More Secure Pattern: Define and Add to Allowlist in System Settings
+
+To create a secure, centrally-managed catalog of tools, the system administrator **must** do both of the following in the system-level `settings.json` file:
+
+1.  **Define the full configuration** for every approved server in the `mcpServers` object. This ensures that even if a user defines a server with the same name, the secure system-level definition will take precedence.
+2.  **Add the names** of those servers to an allowlist using the `mcp.allowed` setting. This is a critical security step that prevents users from running any servers that are not on this list. If this setting is omitted, the CLI will merge and allow any server defined by the user.
+
+**Example System `settings.json`:**
+
+1. Add the _names_ of all approved servers to an allowlist.
+   This will prevent users from adding their own servers.
+
+2. Provide the canonical _definition_ for each server on the allowlist.
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcp": {
+    "allowed": ["corp-data-api", "source-code-analyzer"]
+  },
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "corp-data-api": {
+      "command": "/usr/local/bin/start-corp-api.sh",
+      "timeout": 5000
+    },
+    "source-code-analyzer": {
+      "command": "/usr/local/bin/start-analyzer.sh"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This pattern is more secure because it uses both definition and an allowlist. Any server a user defines will either be overridden by the system definition (if it has the same name) or blocked because its name is not in the `mcp.allowed` list.
+
+### Less Secure Pattern: Omitting the Allowlist
+
+If the administrator defines the `mcpServers` object but fails to also specify the `mcp.allowed` allowlist, users may add their own servers.
+
+**Example System `settings.json`:**
+
+This configuration defines servers but does not enforce the allowlist.
+The administrator has NOT included the "mcp.allowed" setting.
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "corp-data-api": {
+      "command": "/usr/local/bin/start-corp-api.sh"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+In this scenario, a user can add their own server in their local `settings.json`. Because there is no `mcp.allowed` list to filter the merged results, the user's server will be added to the list of available tools and allowed to run.
+
+## Enforcing Sandboxing for Security
+
+To mitigate the risk of potentially harmful operations, you can enforce the use of sandboxing for all tool execution. The sandbox isolates tool execution in a containerized environment.
+
+**Example:** Force all tool execution to happen within a Docker sandbox.
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "sandbox": "docker"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You can also specify a custom, hardened Docker image for the sandbox using the `--sandbox-image` command-line argument or by building a custom `sandbox.Dockerfile` as described in the [Sandboxing documentation](./sandbox.md).
+
+## Controlling Network Access via Proxy
+
+In corporate environments with strict network policies, you can configure Gemini CLI to route all outbound traffic through a corporate proxy. This can be set via an environment variable, but it can also be enforced for custom tools via the `mcpServers` configuration.
+
+**Example (for an MCP Server):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "proxied-server": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["mcp_server.js"],
+      "env": {
+        "HTTP_PROXY": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
+        "HTTPS_PROXY": "http://proxy.example.com:8080"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Telemetry and Auditing
+
+For auditing and monitoring purposes, you can configure Gemini CLI to send telemetry data to a central location. This allows you to track tool usage and other events. For more information, see the [telemetry documentation](./telemetry.md).
+
+**Example:** Enable telemetry and send it to a local OTLP collector. If `otlpEndpoint` is not specified, it defaults to `http://localhost:4317`.
+
+```json
+{
+  "telemetry": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "target": "gcp",
+    "logPrompts": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Ensure that `logPrompts` is set to `false` in an enterprise setting to avoid collecting potentially sensitive information from user prompts.
+
+## Authentication
+
+You can enforce a specific authentication method for all users by setting the `enforcedAuthType` in the system-level `settings.json` file. This prevents users from choosing a different authentication method. See the [Authentication docs](./authentication.md) for more details.
+
+**Example:** Enforce the use of Google login for all users.
+
+```json
+{
+  "enforcedAuthType": "oauth-personal"
+}
+```
+
+If a user has a different authentication method configured, they will be prompted to switch to the enforced method. In non-interactive mode, the CLI will exit with an error if the configured authentication method does not match the enforced one.
+
+## Putting It All Together: Example System `settings.json`
+
+Here is an example of a system `settings.json` file that combines several of the patterns discussed above to create a secure, controlled environment for Gemini CLI.
+
+```json
+{
+  "tools": {
+    "sandbox": "docker",
+    "core": [
+      "ReadFileTool",
+      "GlobTool",
+      "ShellTool(ls)",
+      "ShellTool(cat)",
+      "ShellTool(grep)"
+    ]
+  },
+  "mcp": {
+    "allowed": ["corp-tools"]
+  },
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "corp-tools": {
+      "command": "/opt/gemini-tools/start.sh",
+      "timeout": 5000
+    }
+  },
+  "telemetry": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "target": "gcp",
+    "otlpEndpoint": "https://telemetry-prod.example.com:4317",
+    "logPrompts": false
+  },
+  "advanced": {
+    "bugCommand": {
+      "urlTemplate": "https://servicedesk.example.com/new-ticket?title={title}&details={info}"
+    }
+  },
+  "privacy": {
+    "usageStatisticsEnabled": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This configuration:
+
+- Forces all tool execution into a Docker sandbox.
+- Strictly uses an allowlist for a small set of safe shell commands and file tools.
+- Defines and allows a single corporate MCP server for custom tools.
+- Enables telemetry for auditing, without logging prompt content.
+- Redirects the `/bug` command to an internal ticketing system.
+- Disables general usage statistics collection.

+# Ignoring Files
+
+This document provides an overview of the Gemini Ignore (`.geminiignore`) feature of the Gemini CLI.
+
+The Gemini CLI includes the ability to automatically ignore files, similar to `.gitignore` (used by Git) and `.aiexclude` (used by Gemini Code Assist). Adding paths to your `.geminiignore` file will exclude them from tools that support this feature, although they will still be visible to other services (such as Git).
+
+## How it works
+
+When you add a path to your `.geminiignore` file, tools that respect this file will exclude matching files and directories from their operations. For example, when you use the [`read_many_files`](../tools/multi-file.md) command, any paths in your `.geminiignore` file will be automatically excluded.
+
+For the most part, `.geminiignore` follows the conventions of `.gitignore` files:
+
+- Blank lines and lines starting with `#` are ignored.
+- Standard glob patterns are supported (such as `*`, `?`, and `[]`).
+- Putting a `/` at the end will only match directories.
+- Putting a `/` at the beginning anchors the path relative to the `.geminiignore` file.
+- `!` negates a pattern.
+
+You can update your `.geminiignore` file at any time. To apply the changes, you must restart your Gemini CLI session.
+
+## How to use `.geminiignore`
+
+To enable `.geminiignore`:
+
+1. Create a file named `.geminiignore` in the root of your project directory.
+
+To add a file or directory to `.geminiignore`:
+
+1. Open your `.geminiignore` file.
+2. Add the path or file you want to ignore, for example: `/archive/` or `apikeys.txt`.
+
+### `.geminiignore` examples
+
+You can use `.geminiignore` to ignore directories and files:
+
+```
+# Exclude your /packages/ directory and all subdirectories
+/packages/
+
+# Exclude your apikeys.txt file
+apikeys.txt
+```
+
+You can use wildcards in your `.geminiignore` file with `*`:
+
+```
+# Exclude all .md files
+*.md
+```
+
+Finally, you can exclude files and directories from exclusion with `!`:
+
+```
+# Exclude all .md files except README.md
+*.md
+!README.md
+```
+
+To remove paths from your `.geminiignore` file, delete the relevant lines.

+# Provide Context with GEMINI.md Files
+
+Context files, which use the default name `GEMINI.md`, are a powerful feature for providing instructional context to the Gemini model. You can use these files to give project-specific instructions, define a persona, or provide coding style guides to make the AI's responses more accurate and tailored to your needs.
+
+Instead of repeating instructions in every prompt, you can define them once in a context file.
+
+## Understand the context hierarchy
+
+The CLI uses a hierarchical system to source context. It loads various context files from several locations, concatenates the contents of all found files, and sends them to the model with every prompt. The CLI loads files in the following order:
+
+1.  **Global context file:**
+    - **Location:** `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` (in your user home directory).
+    - **Scope:** Provides default instructions for all your projects.
+
+2.  **Project root and ancestor context files:**
+    - **Location:** The CLI searches for a `GEMINI.md` file in your current working directory and then in each parent directory up to the project root (identified by a `.git` folder).
+    - **Scope:** Provides context relevant to the entire project.
+
+3.  **Sub-directory context files:**
+    - **Location:** The CLI also scans for `GEMINI.md` files in subdirectories below your current working directory. It respects rules in `.gitignore` and `.geminiignore`.
+    - **Scope:** Lets you write highly specific instructions for a particular component or module.
+
+The CLI footer displays the number of loaded context files, which gives you a quick visual cue of the active instructional context.
+
+### Example `GEMINI.md` file
+
+Here is an example of what you can include in a `GEMINI.md` file at the root of a TypeScript project:
+
+```markdown
+# Project: My TypeScript Library
+
+## General Instructions
+
+- When you generate new TypeScript code, follow the existing coding style.
+- Ensure all new functions and classes have JSDoc comments.
+- Prefer functional programming paradigms where appropriate.
+
+## Coding Style
+
+- Use 2 spaces for indentation.
+- Prefix interface names with `I` (for example, `IUserService`).
+- Always use strict equality (`===` and `!==`).
+```
+
+## Manage context with the `/memory` command
+
+You can interact with the loaded context files by using the `/memory` command.
+
+- **`/memory show`**: Displays the full, concatenated content of the current hierarchical memory. This lets you inspect the exact instructional context being provided to the model.
+- **`/memory refresh`**: Forces a re-scan and reload of all `GEMINI.md` files from all configured locations.
+- **`/memory add <text>`**: Appends your text to your global `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` file. This lets you add persistent memories on the fly.
+
+## Modularize context with imports
+
+You can break down large `GEMINI.md` files into smaller, more manageable components by importing content from other files using the `@file.md` syntax. This feature supports both relative and absolute paths.
+
+**Example `GEMINI.md` with imports:**
+
+```markdown
+# Main GEMINI.md file
+
+This is the main content.
+
+@./components/instructions.md
+
+More content here.
+
+@../shared/style-guide.md
+```
+
+For more details, see the [Memory Import Processor](../core/memport.md) documentation.
+
+## Customize the context file name
+
+While `GEMINI.md` is the default filename, you can configure this in your `settings.json` file. To specify a different name or a list of names, use the `context.fileName` property.
+
+**Example `settings.json`:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "context": {
+    "fileName": ["AGENTS.md", "CONTEXT.md", "GEMINI.md"]
+  }
+}
+```

+
+## Overview
+
+The headless mode provides a headless interface to Gemini CLI that:
+
+- Accepts prompts via command line arguments or stdin
+- Returns structured output (text or JSON)
+- Supports file redirection and piping
+- Enables automation and scripting workflows
+- Provides consistent exit codes for error handling
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Direct Prompts
+
+Use the `--prompt` (or `-p`) flag to run in headless mode:
+
+```bash
+gemini --prompt "What is machine learning?"
+```
+
+### Stdin Input
+
+Pipe input to Gemini CLI from your terminal:
+
+```bash
+echo "Explain this code" | gemini
+```
+
+### Combining with File Input
+
+Read from files and process with Gemini:
+
+```bash
+cat README.md | gemini --prompt "Summarize this documentation"
+```
+
+## Output Formats
+
+### Text Output (Default)
+
+Standard human-readable output:
+
+```bash
+gemini -p "What is the capital of France?"
+```
+
+Response format:
+
+```
+The capital of France is Paris.
+```
+
+### JSON Output
+
+Returns structured data including response, statistics, and metadata. This
+format is ideal for programmatic processing and automation scripts.
+
+#### Response Schema
+
+The JSON output follows this high-level structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "response": "string", // The main AI-generated content answering your prompt
+  "stats": {
+    // Usage metrics and performance data
+    "models": {
+      // Per-model API and token usage statistics
+      "[model-name]": {
+        "api": {
+          /* request counts, errors, latency */
+        },
+        "tokens": {
+          /* prompt, response, cached, total counts */
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "tools": {
+      // Tool execution statistics
+      "totalCalls": "number",
+      "totalSuccess": "number",
+      "totalFail": "number",

+      },
+      "byName": {
+        /* per-tool detailed stats */
+      }
+    },
+    "files": {
+      // File modification statistics
+      "totalLinesAdded": "number",
+      "totalLinesRemoved": "number"
+    }
+  },
+  "error": {
+    // Present only when an error occurred
+    "type": "string", // Error type (e.g., "ApiError", "AuthError")
+    "message": "string", // Human-readable error description
+    "code": "number" // Optional error code
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Example Usage
+
+```bash
+gemini -p "What is the capital of France?" --output-format json
+```
+
+Response:
+
+```json

+
+## Google Cloud Telemetry
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before using either method below, complete these steps:
+
+1. Set your Google Cloud project ID:
+   - For telemetry in a separate project from inference:
+     ```bash
+     export OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-telemetry-project-id"
+     ```
+   - For telemetry in the same project as inference:
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
+     ```
+
+2. Authenticate with Google Cloud:
+   - If using a user account:
+     ```bash
+     gcloud auth application-default login
+     ```
+   - If using a service account:
+     ```bash
+     export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/service-account.json"
+     ```
+3. Make sure your account or service account has these IAM roles:
+   - Cloud Trace Agent
+   - Monitoring Metric Writer
+   - Logs Writer
+
+4. Enable the required Google Cloud APIs (if not already enabled):
+   ```bash
+   gcloud services enable \
+     cloudtrace.googleapis.com \
+     monitoring.googleapis.com \
+     logging.googleapis.com \
+     --project="$OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT"
+   ```
+
+### Direct Export (Recommended)
+
+Sends telemetry directly to Google Cloud services. No collector needed.
+
+1. Enable telemetry in your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "gcp"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View logs and metrics:
+   - Open the Google Cloud Console in your browser after sending prompts:
+     - Logs: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/
+     - Metrics: https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
+     - Traces: https://console.cloud.google.com/traces/list
+
+### Collector-Based Export (Advanced)
+
+For custom processing, filtering, or routing, use an OpenTelemetry collector to
+forward data to Google Cloud.
+
+1. Configure your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "gcp",
+       "useCollector": true
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run the automation script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run telemetry -- --target=gcp
+   ```
+   This will:
+   - Start a local OTEL collector that forwards to Google Cloud
+   - Configure your workspace
+   - Provide links to view traces, metrics, and logs in Google Cloud Console
+   - Save collector logs to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log`
+   - Stop collector on exit (e.g. `Ctrl+C`)
+3. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+4. View logs and metrics:
+   - Open the Google Cloud Console in your browser after sending prompts:
+     - Logs: https://console.cloud.google.com/logs/
+     - Metrics: https://console.cloud.google.com/monitoring/metrics-explorer
+     - Traces: https://console.cloud.google.com/traces/list
+   - Open `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector-gcp.log` to view local
+     collector logs.
+
+## Local Telemetry
+
+For local development and debugging, you can capture telemetry data locally:
+
+### File-based Output (Recommended)
+
+1. Enable telemetry in your `.gemini/settings.json`:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "telemetry": {
+       "enabled": true,
+       "target": "local",
+       "otlpEndpoint": "",
+       "outfile": ".gemini/telemetry.log"
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View logs and metrics in the specified file (e.g., `.gemini/telemetry.log`).
+
+### Collector-Based Export (Advanced)
+
+1. Run the automation script:
+   ```bash
+   npm run telemetry -- --target=local
+   ```
+   This will:
+   - Download and start Jaeger and OTEL collector
+   - Configure your workspace for local telemetry
+   - Provide a Jaeger UI at http://localhost:16686
+   - Save logs/metrics to `~/.gemini/tmp/<projectHash>/otel/collector.log`
+   - Stop collector on exit (e.g. `Ctrl+C`)
+2. Run Gemini CLI and send prompts.
+3. View traces at http://localhost:16686 and logs/metrics in the collector log
+   file.

+
+## Custom Color Themes
+
+Gemini CLI allows you to create your own custom color themes by specifying them in your `settings.json` file. This gives you full control over the color palette used in the CLI.
+
+### How to Define a Custom Theme
+
+Add a `customThemes` block to your user, project, or system `settings.json` file. Each custom theme is defined as an object with a unique name and a set of color keys. For example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ui": {
+    "customThemes": {
+      "MyCustomTheme": {
+        "name": "MyCustomTheme",
+        "type": "custom",
+        "Background": "#181818",
+        ...
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Color keys:**
+
+- `Background`
+- `Foreground`
+- `LightBlue`
+- `AccentBlue`
+- `AccentPurple`
+- `AccentCyan`
+- `AccentGreen`
+- `AccentYellow`
+- `AccentRed`
+- `Comment`
+- `Gray`
+- `DiffAdded` (optional, for added lines in diffs)
+- `DiffRemoved` (optional, for removed lines in diffs)
+- `DiffModified` (optional, for modified lines in diffs)
+
+**Required Properties:**
+
+- `name` (must match the key in the `customThemes` object and be a string)
+- `type` (must be the string `"custom"`)
+- `Background`
+- `Foreground`
+- `LightBlue`
+- `AccentBlue`
+- `AccentPurple`
+- `AccentCyan`
+- `AccentGreen`
+- `AccentYellow`
+- `AccentRed`
+- `Comment`
+- `Gray`
+
+You can use either hex codes (e.g., `#FF0000`) **or** standard CSS color names (e.g., `coral`, `teal`, `blue`) for any color value. See [CSS color names](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value#color_keywords) for a full list of supported names.
+
+You can define multiple custom themes by adding more entries to the `customThemes` object.
+
+### Loading Themes from a File
+
+In addition to defining custom themes in `settings.json`, you can also load a theme directly from a JSON file by specifying the file path in your `settings.json`. This is useful for sharing themes or keeping them separate from your main configuration.
+
+To load a theme from a file, set the `theme` property in your `settings.json` to the path of your theme file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "ui": {
+    "theme": "/path/to/your/theme.json"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The theme file must be a valid JSON file that follows the same structure as a custom theme defined in `settings.json`.
+
+**Example `my-theme.json`:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "My File Theme",
+  "type": "custom",
+  "Background": "#282A36",
+  "Foreground": "#F8F8F2",
+  "LightBlue": "#82AAFF",
+  "AccentBlue": "#61AFEF",
+  "AccentPurple": "#BD93F9",
+  "AccentCyan": "#8BE9FD",
+  "AccentGreen": "#50FA7B",
+  "AccentYellow": "#F1FA8C",
+  "AccentRed": "#FF5555",
+  "Comment": "#6272A4",
+  "Gray": "#ABB2BF",
+  "DiffAdded": "#A6E3A1",
+  "DiffRemoved": "#F38BA8",
+  "DiffModified": "#89B4FA",
+  "GradientColors": ["#4796E4", "#847ACE", "#C3677F"]
+}
+```
+
+**Security Note:** For your safety, Gemini CLI will only load theme files that are located within your home directory. If you attempt to load a theme from outside your home directory, a warning will be displayed and the theme will not be loaded. This is to prevent loading potentially malicious theme files from untrusted sources.
+
+### Example Custom Theme
+
+<img src="../assets/theme-custom.png" alt="Custom theme example" width="600" />
+
+### Using Your Custom Theme
+
+- Select your custom theme using the `/theme` command in Gemini CLI. Your custom theme will appear in the theme selection dialog.
+- Or, set it as the default by adding `"theme": "MyCustomTheme"` to the `ui` object in your `settings.json`.
+- Custom themes can be set at the user, project, or system level, and follow the same [configuration precedence](../get-started/configuration.md) as other settings.

+# Trusted Folders
+
+The Trusted Folders feature is a security setting that gives you control over which projects can use the full capabilities of the Gemini CLI. It prevents potentially malicious code from running by asking you to approve a folder before the CLI loads any project-specific configurations from it.
+
+## Enabling the Feature
+
+The Trusted Folders feature is **disabled by default**. To use it, you must first enable it in your settings.
+
+Add the following to your user `settings.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "security": {
+    "folderTrust": {
+      "enabled": true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## How It Works: The Trust Dialog
+
+Once the feature is enabled, the first time you run the Gemini CLI from a folder, a dialog will automatically appear, prompting you to make a choice:
+
+- **Trust folder**: Grants full trust to the current folder (e.g., `my-project`).
+- **Trust parent folder**: Grants trust to the parent directory (e.g., `safe-projects`), which automatically trusts all of its subdirectories as well. This is useful if you keep all your safe projects in one place.
+- **Don't trust**: Marks the folder as untrusted. The CLI will operate in a restricted "safe mode."
+
+Your choice is saved in a central file (`~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json`), so you will only be asked once per folder.
+
+## Why Trust Matters: The Impact of an Untrusted Workspace
+
+When a folder is **untrusted**, the Gemini CLI runs in a restricted "safe mode" to protect you. In this mode, the following features are disabled:
+
+1.  **Workspace Settings are Ignored**: The CLI will **not** load the `.gemini/settings.json` file from the project. This prevents the loading of custom tools and other potentially dangerous configurations.
+
+2.  **Environment Variables are Ignored**: The CLI will **not** load any `.env` files from the project.
+
+3.  **Extension Management is Restricted**: You **cannot install, update, or uninstall** extensions.
+
+4.  **Tool Auto-Acceptance is Disabled**: You will always be prompted before any tool is run, even if you have auto-acceptance enabled globally.
+
+5.  **Automatic Memory Loading is Disabled**: The CLI will not automatically load files into context from directories specified in local settings.
+
+Granting trust to a folder unlocks the full functionality of the Gemini CLI for that workspace.
+
+## Managing Your Trust Settings
+
+If you need to change a decision or see all your settings, you have a couple of options:
+
+- **Change the Current Folder's Trust**: Run the `/permissions` command from within the CLI. This will bring up the same interactive dialog, allowing you to change the trust level for the current folder.
+
+- **View All Trust Rules**: To see a complete list of all your trusted and untrusted folder rules, you can inspect the contents of the `~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json` file in your home directory.
+
+## The Trust Check Process (Advanced)
+
+For advanced users, it's helpful to know the exact order of operations for how trust is determined:
+
+1.  **IDE Trust Signal**: If you are using the [IDE Integration](../ide-integration/index.md), the CLI first asks the IDE if the workspace is trusted. The IDE's response takes highest priority.
+
+2.  **Local Trust File**: If the IDE is not connected, the CLI checks the central `~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json` file.

+## Code Region Detection
+
+The import processor uses the `marked` library to detect code blocks and inline code spans, ensuring that `@` imports inside these regions are properly ignored. This provides robust handling of nested code blocks and complex Markdown structures.
+
+## Import Tree Structure
+
+The processor returns an import tree that shows the hierarchy of imported files, similar to Claude's `/memory` feature. This helps users debug problems with their GEMINI.md files by showing which files were read and their import relationships.
+
+Example tree structure:
+
+```
+Memory Files
+ L project: GEMINI.md
+            L a.md
+              L b.md
+                L c.md
+              L d.md
+                L e.md
+                  L f.md
+            L included.md
+```
+
+The tree preserves the order that files were imported and shows the complete import chain for debugging purposes.
+
+## Comparison to Claude Code's `/memory` (`claude.md`) Approach
+
+Claude Code's `/memory` feature (as seen in `claude.md`) produces a flat, linear document by concatenating all included files, always marking file boundaries with clear comments and path names. It does not explicitly present the import hierarchy, but the LLM receives all file contents and paths, which is sufficient for reconstructing the hierarchy if needed.
+
+Note: The import tree is mainly for clarity during development and has limited relevance to LLM consumption.

-# Gemini CLI Extensions
-
-Gemini CLI supports extensions that can be used to configure and extend its functionality.
-
-## How it works
-
-On startup, Gemini CLI looks for extensions in two locations:
-
-1.  `<workspace>/.gemini/extensions`
-2.  `<home>/.gemini/extensions`
-
-Gemini CLI loads all extensions from both locations. If an extension with the same name exists in both locations, the extension in the workspace directory takes precedence.
-
-Within each location, individual extensions exist as a directory that contains a `gemini-extension.json` file. For example:
-
-`<workspace>/.gemini/extensions/my-extension/gemini-extension.json`
-
-### `gemini-extension.json`
-
-The `gemini-extension.json` file contains the configuration for the extension. The file has the following structure:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "my-extension",
-  "version": "1.0.0",
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "my-server": {
-      "command": "node my-server.js"
-    }
-  },
-  "contextFileName": "GEMINI.md"
-}
-```
-

+# Extension Releasing
+
+There are two primary ways of releasing extensions to users:
+
+- [Git repository](#releasing-through-a-git-repository)
+- [Github Releases](#releasing-through-github-releases)
+
+Git repository releases tend to be the simplest and most flexible approach, while GitHub releases can be more efficient on initial install as they are shipped as single archives instead of requiring a git clone which downloads each file individually. Github releases may also contain platform specific archives if you need to ship platform specific binary files.
+
+## Releasing through a git repository
+
+This is the most flexible and simple option. All you need to do is create a publicly accessible git repo (such as a public github repository) and then users can install your extension using `gemini extensions install <your-repo-uri>`, or for a GitHub repository they can use the simplified `gemini extensions install <org>/<repo>` format. They can optionally depend on a specific ref (branch/tag/commit) using the `--ref=<some-ref>` argument, this defaults to the default branch.
+
+Whenever commits are pushed to the ref that a user depends on, they will be prompted to update the extension. Note that this also allows for easy rollbacks, the HEAD commit is always treated as the latest version regardless of the actual version in the `gemini-extension.json` file.
+
+### Managing release channels using a git repository
+
+Users can depend on any ref from your git repo, such as a branch or tag, which allows you to manage multiple release channels.
+
+For instance, you can maintain a `stable` branch, which users can install this way `gemini extensions install <your-repo-uri> --ref=stable`. Or, you could make this the default by treating your default branch as your stable release branch, and doing development in a different branch (for instance called `dev`). You can maintain as many branches or tags as you like, providing maximum flexibility for you and your users.
+
+Note that these `ref` arguments can be tags, branches, or even specific commits, which allows users to depend on a specific version of your extension. It is up to you how you want to manage your tags and branches.
+
+### Example releasing flow using a git repo
+
+While there are many options for how you want to manage releases using a git flow, we recommend treating your default branch as your "stable" release branch. This means that the default behavior for `gemini extensions install <your-repo-uri>` is to be on the stable release branch.
+
+Lets say you want to maintain three standard release channels, `stable`, `preview`, and `dev`. You would do all your standard development in the `dev` branch. When you are ready to do a preview release, you merge that branch into your `preview` branch. When you are ready to promote your preview branch to stable, you merge `preview` into your stable branch (which might be your default branch or a different branch).
+
+You can also cherry pick changes from one branch into another using `git cherry-pick`, but do note that this will result in your branches having a slightly divergent history from each other, unless you force push changes to your branches on each release to restore the history to a clean slate (which may not be possible for the default branch depending on your repository settings). If you plan on doing cherry picks, you may want to avoid having your default branch be the stable branch to avoid force-pushing to the default branch which should generally be avoided.
+
+## Releasing through Github releases
+
+Gemini CLI extensions can be distributed through [GitHub Releases](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/about-releases). This provides a faster and more reliable initial installation experience for users, as it avoids the need to clone the repository.
+
+Each release includes at least one archive file, which contains the full contents of the repo at the tag that it was linked to. Releases may also include [pre-built archives](#custom-pre-built-archives) if your extension requires some build step or has platform specific binaries attached to it.
+
+When checking for updates, gemini will just look for the latest release on github (you must mark it as such when creating the release), unless the user installed a specific release by passing `--ref=<some-release-tag>`. We do not at this time support opting in to pre-release releases or semver.
+
+### Custom pre-built archives
+
+Custom archives must be attached directly to the github release as assets and must be fully self-contained. This means they should include the entire extension, see [archive structure](#archive-structure).
+
+If your extension is platform-independent, you can provide a single generic asset. In this case, there should be only one asset attached to the release.
+
+Custom archives may also be used if you want to develop your extension within a larger repository, you can build an archive which has a different layout from the repo itself (for instance it might just be an archive of a subdirectory containing the extension).
+
+#### Platform specific archives
+
+To ensure Gemini CLI can automatically find the correct release asset for each platform, you must follow this naming convention. The CLI will search for assets in the following order:
+
+1.  **Platform and Architecture-Specific:** `{platform}.{arch}.{name}.{extension}`
+2.  **Platform-Specific:** `{platform}.{name}.{extension}`
+3.  **Generic:** If only one asset is provided, it will be used as a generic fallback.
+
+- `{name}`: The name of your extension.
+- `{platform}`: The operating system. Supported values are:
+  - `darwin` (macOS)
+  - `linux`
+  - `win32` (Windows)
+- `{arch}`: The architecture. Supported values are:
+  - `x64`
+  - `arm64`
+- `{extension}`: The file extension of the archive (e.g., `.tar.gz` or `.zip`).
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- `darwin.arm64.my-tool.tar.gz` (specific to Apple Silicon Macs)
+- `darwin.my-tool.tar.gz` (for all Macs)
+- `linux.x64.my-tool.tar.gz`
+- `win32.my-tool.zip`
+
+#### Archive structure
+
+Archives must be fully contained extensions and have all the standard requirements - specifically the `gemini-extension.json` file must be at the root of the archive.
+
+The rest of the layout should look exactly the same as a typical extension, see [extensions.md](./index.md).
+
+#### Example GitHub Actions workflow
+
+Here is an example of a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and releases a Gemini CLI extension for multiple platforms:
+
+```yaml
+name: Release Extension
+
+on:
+  push:
+    tags:
+      - 'v*'
+
+jobs:
+  release:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+      - name: Set up Node.js
+        uses: actions/setup-node@v3
+        with:
+          node-version: '20'
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: npm ci
+
+      - name: Build extension
+        run: npm run build
+
+      - name: Create release assets
+        run: |
+          npm run package -- --platform=darwin --arch=arm64
+          npm run package -- --platform=linux --arch=x64
+          npm run package -- --platform=win32 --arch=x64
+
+      - name: Create GitHub Release
+        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
+        with:
+          files: |
+            release/darwin.arm64.my-tool.tar.gz
+            release/linux.arm64.my-tool.tar.gz
+            release/win32.arm64.my-tool.zip

+# Getting Started with Gemini CLI Extensions
+
+This guide will walk you through creating your first Gemini CLI extension. You'll learn how to set up a new extension, add a custom tool via an MCP server, create a custom command, and provide context to the model with a `GEMINI.md` file.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you start, make sure you have the Gemini CLI installed and a basic understanding of Node.js and TypeScript.
+
+## Step 1: Create a New Extension
+
+The easiest way to start is by using one of the built-in templates. We'll use the `mcp-server` example as our foundation.
+
+Run the following command to create a new directory called `my-first-extension` with the template files:
+
+```bash
+gemini extensions new my-first-extension mcp-server
+```
+
+This will create a new directory with the following structure:
+
+```
+my-first-extension/
+├── example.ts
+├── gemini-extension.json
+├── package.json
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+## Step 2: Understand the Extension Files
+
+Let's look at the key files in your new extension.
+
+### `gemini-extension.json`
+
+This is the manifest file for your extension. It tells Gemini CLI how to load and use your extension.
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-first-extension",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "nodeServer": {
+      "command": "node",
+      "args": ["${extensionPath}${/}dist${/}example.js"],
+      "cwd": "${extensionPath}"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- `name`: The unique name for your extension.
+- `version`: The version of your extension.
+- `mcpServers`: This section defines one or more Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. MCP servers are how you can add new tools for the model to use.
+  - `command`, `args`, `cwd`: These fields specify how to start your server. Notice the use of the `${extensionPath}` variable, which Gemini CLI replaces with the absolute path to your extension's installation directory. This allows your extension to work regardless of where it's installed.
+
+### `example.ts`
+
+This file contains the source code for your MCP server. It's a simple Node.js server that uses the `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`.
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @license
+ * Copyright 2025 Google LLC
+ * SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
+ */
+
+import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
+import { StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js';
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+const server = new McpServer({
+  name: 'prompt-server',
+  version: '1.0.0',
+});
+
+// Registers a new tool named 'fetch_posts'
+server.registerTool(
+  'fetch_posts',
+  {
+    description: 'Fetches a list of posts from a public API.',
+    inputSchema: z.object({}).shape,
+  },
+  async () => {
+    const apiResponse = await fetch(
+      'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
+    );
+    const posts = await apiResponse.json();
+    const response = { posts: posts.slice(0, 5) };
+    return {
+      content: [
+        {
+          type: 'text',
+          text: JSON.stringify(response),
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+  },
+);
+
+// ... (prompt registration omitted for brevity)
+
+const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
+await server.connect(transport);
+```
+
+This server defines a single tool called `fetch_posts` that fetches data from a public API.
+
+### `package.json` and `tsconfig.json`
+
+These are standard configuration files for a TypeScript project. The `package.json` file defines dependencies and a `build` script, and `tsconfig.json` configures the TypeScript compiler.
+
+## Step 3: Build and Link Your Extension
+
+Before you can use the extension, you need to compile the TypeScript code and link the extension to your Gemini CLI installation for local development.
+
+1.  **Install dependencies:**
+
+    ```bash
+    cd my-first-extension
+    npm install
+    ```
+
+2.  **Build the server:**
+
+    ```bash
+    npm run build
+    ```
+
+    This will compile `example.ts` into `dist/example.js`, which is the file referenced in your `gemini-extension.json`.
+
+3.  **Link the extension:**
+
+    The `link` command creates a symbolic link from the Gemini CLI extensions directory to your development directory. This means any changes you make will be reflected immediately without needing to reinstall.
+
+    ```bash
+    gemini extensions link .
+    ```
+
+Now, restart your Gemini CLI session. The new `fetch_posts` tool will be available. You can test it by asking: "fetch posts".
+
+## Step 4: Add a Custom Command
+
+Custom commands provide a way to create shortcuts for complex prompts. Let's add a command that searches for a pattern in your code.
+
+1.  Create a `commands` directory and a subdirectory for your command group:
+
+    ```bash
+    mkdir -p commands/fs
+    ```
+
+2.  Create a file named `commands/fs/grep-code.toml`:
+
+    ```toml
+    prompt = """
+    Please summarize the findings for the pattern `{{args}}`.
+
+    Search Results:
+    !{grep -r {{args}} .}
+    """
+    ```
+
+    This command, `/fs:grep-code`, will take an argument, run the `grep` shell command with it, and pipe the results into a prompt for summarization.
+
+After saving the file, restart the Gemini CLI. You can now run `/fs:grep-code "some pattern"` to use your new command.
+
+## Step 5: Add a Custom `GEMINI.md`
+
+You can provide persistent context to the model by adding a `GEMINI.md` file to your extension. This is useful for giving the model instructions on how to behave or information about your extension's tools. Note that you may not always need this for extensions built to expose commands and prompts.
+
+1.  Create a file named `GEMINI.md` in the root of your extension directory:
+
+    ```markdown
+    # My First Extension Instructions
+
+    You are an expert developer assistant. When the user asks you to fetch posts, use the `fetch_posts` tool. Be concise in your responses.
+    ```
+
+2.  Update your `gemini-extension.json` to tell the CLI to load this file:
+
+    ```json
+    {
+      "name": "my-first-extension",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "contextFileName": "GEMINI.md",
+      "mcpServers": {
+        "nodeServer": {
+          "command": "node",
+          "args": ["${extensionPath}${/}dist${/}example.js"],
+          "cwd": "${extensionPath}"
+        }
+      }
+    }
+    ```
+
+Restart the CLI again. The model will now have the context from your `GEMINI.md` file in every session where the extension is active.
+
+## Step 6: Releasing Your Extension
+
+Once you are happy with your extension, you can share it with others. The two primary ways of releasing extensions are via a Git repository or through GitHub Releases. Using a public Git repository is the simplest method.
+
+For detailed instructions on both methods, please refer to the [Extension Releasing Guide](./extension-releasing.md).
+
+## Conclusion
+
+You've successfully created a Gemini CLI extension! You learned how to:
+
+- Bootstrap a new extension from a template.
+- Add custom tools with an MCP server.
+- Create convenient custom commands.
+- Provide persistent context to the model.
+- Link your extension for local development.
+
+From here, you can explore more advanced features and build powerful new capabilities into the Gemini CLI.

+# Gemini CLI Extensions
+
+_This documentation is up-to-date with the v0.4.0 release._
+
+Gemini CLI extensions package prompts, MCP servers, and custom commands into a familiar and user-friendly format. With extensions, you can expand the capabilities of Gemini CLI and share those capabilities with others. They are designed to be easily installable and shareable.
+
+See [getting started docs](getting-started-extensions.md) for a guide on creating your first extension.
+
+See [releasing docs](extension-releasing.md) for an advanced guide on setting up GitHub releases.
+
+## Extension management
+
+We offer a suite of extension management tools using `gemini extensions` commands.
+
+Note that these commands are not supported from within the CLI, although you can list installed extensions using the `/extensions list` subcommand.
+
+Note that all of these commands will only be reflected in active CLI sessions on restart.
+
+### Installing an extension
+
+You can install an extension using `gemini extensions install` with either a GitHub URL or a local path`.
+
+Note that we create a copy of the installed extension, so you will need to run `gemini extensions update` to pull in changes from both locally-defined extensions and those on GitHub.
+
+NOTE: If you are installing an extension from GitHub, you'll need to have `git` installed on your machine. See [git installation instructions](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) for help.
+
+```
+gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/security
+```
+
+This will install the Gemini CLI Security extension, which offers support for a `/security:analyze` command.
+
+### Uninstalling an extension
+
+To uninstall, run `gemini extensions uninstall extension-name`, so, in the case of the install example:
+
+```
+gemini extensions uninstall gemini-cli-security
+```
+
+### Disabling an extension
+
+Extensions are, by default, enabled across all workspaces. You can disable an extension entirely or for specific workspace.
+
+For example, `gemini extensions disable extension-name` will disable the extension at the user level, so it will be disabled everywhere. `gemini extensions disable extension-name --scope=workspace` will only disable the extension in the current workspace.
+
+### Enabling an extension
+
+You can enable extensions using `gemini extensions enable extension-name`. You can also enable an extension for a specific workspace using `gemini extensions enable extension-name --scope=workspace` from within that workspace.
+
+This is useful if you have an extension disabled at the top-level and only enabled in specific places.
+
+### Updating an extension
+
+For extensions installed from a local path or a git repository, you can explicitly update to the latest version (as reflected in the `gemini-extension.json` `version` field) with `gemini extensions update extension-name`.
+
+You can update all extensions with:
+
+```
+gemini extensions update --all
+```
+
+## Extension creation
+
+We offer commands to make extension development easier.
+
+### Create a boilerplate extension
+
+We offer several example extensions `context`, `custom-commands`, `exclude-tools` and `mcp-server`. You can view these examples [here](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/tree/main/packages/cli/src/commands/extensions/examples).
+
+To copy one of these examples into a development directory using the type of your choosing, run:
+
+```
+gemini extensions new path/to/directory custom-commands
+```
+
+### Link a local extension
+
+The `gemini extensions link` command will create a symbolic link from the extension installation directory to the development path.
+
+This is useful so you don't have to run `gemini extensions update` every time you make changes you'd like to test.
+
+```
+gemini extensions link path/to/directory
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+On startup, Gemini CLI looks for extensions in `<home>/.gemini/extensions`
+
+Extensions exist as a directory that contains a `gemini-extension.json` file. For example:
+
+`<home>/.gemini/extensions/my-extension/gemini-extension.json`
+
+### `gemini-extension.json`
+
+The `gemini-extension.json` file contains the configuration for the extension. The file has the following structure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "my-extension",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "my-server": {
+      "command": "node my-server.js"
+    }
+  },
+  "contextFileName": "GEMINI.md",
+  "excludeTools": ["run_shell_command"]
+}
+```
+
+- `name`: The name of the extension. This is used to uniquely identify the extension and for conflict resolution when extension commands have the same name as user or project commands. The name should be lowercase or numbers and use dashes instead of underscores or spaces. This is how users will refer to your extension in the CLI. Note that we expect this name to match the extension directory name.
+- `version`: The version of the extension.
+- `mcpServers`: A map of MCP servers to configure. The key is the name of the server, and the value is the server configuration. These servers will be loaded on startup just like MCP servers configured in a [`settings.json` file](../get-started/configuration.md). If both an extension and a `settings.json` file configure an MCP server with the same name, the server defined in the `settings.json` file takes precedence.
+  - Note that all MCP server configuration options are supported except for `trust`.
+- `contextFileName`: The name of the file that contains the context for the extension. This will be used to load the context from the extension directory. If this property is not used but a `GEMINI.md` file is present in your extension directory, then that file will be loaded.
+- `excludeTools`: An array of tool names to exclude from the model. You can also specify command-specific restrictions for tools that support it, like the `run_shell_command` tool. For example, `"excludeTools": ["run_shell_command(rm -rf)"]` will block the `rm -rf` command. Note that this differs from the MCP server `excludeTools` functionality, which can be listed in the MCP server config.
+
+When Gemini CLI starts, it loads all the extensions and merges their configurations. If there are any conflicts, the workspace configuration takes precedence.
+
+### Custom commands
+
+Extensions can provide [custom commands](../cli/custom-commands.md) by placing TOML files in a `commands/` subdirectory within the extension directory. These commands follow the same format as user and project custom commands and use standard naming conventions.
+
+**Example**
+
+An extension named `gcp` with the following structure:
+
+```
+.gemini/extensions/gcp/
+├── gemini-extension.json
+└── commands/
+    ├── deploy.toml
+    └── gcs/
+        └── sync.toml
+```
+
+Would provide these commands:
+
+- `/deploy` - Shows as `[gcp] Custom command from deploy.toml` in help
+- `/gcs:sync` - Shows as `[gcp] Custom command from sync.toml` in help
+
+### Conflict resolution
+
+Extension commands have the lowest precedence. When a conflict occurs with user or project commands:
+
+1. **No conflict**: Extension command uses its natural name (e.g., `/deploy`)
+2. **With conflict**: Extension command is renamed with the extension prefix (e.g., `/gcp.deploy`)
+
+For example, if both a user and the `gcp` extension define a `deploy` command:
+
+- `/deploy` - Executes the user's deploy command
+- `/gcp.deploy` - Executes the extension's deploy command (marked with `[gcp]` tag)
+
+## Variables
+
+Gemini CLI extensions allow variable substitution in `gemini-extension.json`. This can be useful if e.g., you need the current directory to run an MCP server using `"cwd": "${extensionPath}${/}run.ts"`.
+
+**Supported variables:**
+
+| variable                   | description                                                                                                                                                     |
+| -------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `${extensionPath}`         | The fully-qualified path of the extension in the user's filesystem e.g., '/Users/username/.gemini/extensions/example-extension'. This will not unwrap symlinks. |
+| `${workspacePath}`         | The fully-qualified path of the current workspace.                                                                                                              |
+| `${/} or ${pathSeparator}` | The path separator (differs per OS).                                                                                                                            |

+# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+
+This page provides answers to common questions and solutions to frequent problems encountered while using Gemini CLI.
+
+## General issues
+
+### Why am I getting an `API error: 429 - Resource exhausted`?
+
+This error indicates that you have exceeded your API request limit. The Gemini API has rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage.
+
+To resolve this, you can:
+
+- **Check your usage:** Review your API usage in the Google AI Studio or your Google Cloud project dashboard.
+- **Optimize your prompts:** If you are making many requests in a short period, try to batch your prompts or introduce delays between requests.
+- **Request a quota increase:** If you consistently need a higher limit, you can request a quota increase from Google.
+
+### Why am I getting an `ERR_REQUIRE_ESM` error when running `npm run start`?
+
+This error typically occurs in Node.js projects when there is a mismatch between CommonJS and ES Modules.
+
+This is often due to a misconfiguration in your `package.json` or `tsconfig.json`. Ensure that:
+
+1.  Your `package.json` has `"type": "module"`.
+2.  Your `tsconfig.json` has `"module": "NodeNext"` or a compatible setting in the `compilerOptions`.
+
+If the problem persists, try deleting your `node_modules` directory and `package-lock.json` file, and then run `npm install` again.
+
+### Why don't I see cached token counts in my stats output?
+
+Cached token information is only displayed when cached tokens are being used. This feature is available for API key users (Gemini API key or Google Cloud Vertex AI) but not for OAuth users (such as Google Personal/Enterprise accounts like Google Gmail or Google Workspace, respectively). This is because the Gemini Code Assist API does not support cached content creation. You can still view your total token usage using the `/stats` command in Gemini CLI.
+
+## Installation and updates
+
+### How do I update Gemini CLI to the latest version?
+
+If you installed it globally via `npm`, update it using the command `npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest`. If you compiled it from source, pull the latest changes from the repository, and then rebuild using the command `npm run build`.
+
+## Platform-specific issues
+
+### Why does the CLI crash on Windows when I run a command like `chmod +x`?
+
+Commands like `chmod` are specific to Unix-like operating systems (Linux, macOS). They are not available on Windows by default.
+
+To resolve this, you can:
+
+- **Use Windows-equivalent commands:** Instead of `chmod`, you can use `icacls` to modify file permissions on Windows.
+- **Use a compatibility layer:** Tools like Git Bash or Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) provide a Unix-like environment on Windows where these commands will work.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### How do I configure my `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`?
+
+You can configure your Google Cloud Project ID using an environment variable.
+
+Set the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` environment variable in your shell:
+
+```bash
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
+```
+
+To make this setting permanent, add this line to your shell's startup file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`).
+
+### What is the best way to store my API keys securely?
+
+Exposing API keys in scripts or checking them into source control is a security risk.
+
+To store your API keys securely, you can:
+
+- **Use a `.env` file:** Create a `.env` file in your project's `.gemini` directory (`.gemini/.env`) and store your keys there. Gemini CLI will automatically load these variables.
+- **Use your system's keyring:** For the most secure storage, use your operating system's secret management tool (like macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or a secret manager on Linux). You can then have your scripts or environment load the key from the secure storage at runtime.
+
+### Where are the Gemini CLI configuration and settings files stored?
+
+The Gemini CLI configuration is stored in two `settings.json` files:
+
+1.  In your home directory: `~/.gemini/settings.json`.
+2.  In your project's root directory: `./.gemini/settings.json`.
+
+Refer to [Gemini CLI Configuration](./get-started/configuration.md) for more details.

+# Gemini CLI Authentication Setup
+
+Gemini CLI requires authentication using Google's services. Before using Gemini CLI, configure **one** of the following authentication methods:
+
+- Interactive mode:
+  - Recommended: Login with Google
+  - Use Gemini API key
+  - Use Vertex AI
+- Headless (non-interactive) mode
+- Google Cloud Shell
+
+## Quick Check: Running in Google Cloud Shell?
+
+If you are running the Gemini CLI within a Google Cloud Shell environment, authentication is typically automatic using your Cloud Shell credentials.
+
+## Authenticate in Interactive mode
+
+When you run Gemini CLI through the command-line, Gemini CLI will provide the following options:
+
+```bash
+> 1. Login with Google
+> 2. Use Gemini API key
+> 3. Vertex AI
+```
+
+The following sections provide instructions for each of these authentication options.
+
+### Recommended: Login with Google
+
+If you are running Gemini CLI on your local machine, the simplest method is logging in with your Google account.
+
+> **Important:** Use this method if you are a **Google AI Pro** or **Google AI Ultra** subscriber.
+
+1. Select **Login with Google**. Gemini CLI will open a login prompt using your web browser.
+
+   If you are a **Google AI Pro** or **Google AI Ultra** subscriber, login with the Google account associated with your subscription.
+
+2. Follow the on-screen instructions. Your credentials will be cached locally for future sessions.
+
+   > **Note:** This method requires a web browser on a machine that can communicate with the terminal running the CLI (e.g., your local machine). The browser will be redirected to a `localhost` URL that the CLI listens on during setup.
+
+#### (Optional) Set your GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT
+
+When you log in using a Google account, you may be prompted to select a `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`.
+
+This can be necessary if you are:
+
+- Using a Google Workspace account.
+- Using a Gemini Code Assist license from the Google Developer Program.
+- Using a license from a Gemini Code Assist subscription.
+- Using the product outside the [supported regions](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/available-locations) for free individual usage.
+- A Google account holder under the age of 18.
+
+If you fall into one of these categories, you must:
+
+1.  Have a Google Cloud Project ID.
+2.  [Enable the Gemini for Cloud API](https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/discover/set-up-gemini#enable-api).
+3.  [Configure necessary IAM access permissions](https://cloud.google.com/gemini/docs/discover/set-up-gemini#grant-iam).
+
+To set the project ID, export the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+# Replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID with your actual Google Cloud Project ID
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
+```
+
+To make this setting persistent, see [Persisting Environment Variables](#persisting-environment-variables).
+
+### Use Gemini API Key
+
+If you don't want to authenticate using your Google account, you can use an API key from Google AI Studio.
+
+1.  Obtain your API key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey).
+2.  Set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Replace YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY with the key from AI Studio
+    export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY"
+    ```
+
+To make this setting persistent, see [Persisting Environment Variables](#persisting-environment-variables).
+
+> **Warning:** Treat API keys, especially for services like Gemini, as sensitive credentials. Protect them to prevent unauthorized access and potential misuse of the service under your account.
+
+### Use Vertex AI
+
+If you intend to use Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform, you have several authentication options:
+
+- Application Default Credentials (ADC) and `gcloud`.
+- A Service Account JSON key.
+- A Google Cloud API key.
+
+#### First: Set required environment variables
+
+Regardless of your method of authentication, you'll typically need to set the following variables: `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`.
+
+To set these variables:
+
+```bash
+# Replace with your project ID and desired location (e.g., us-central1)
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION="YOUR_PROJECT_LOCATION"
+```
+
+#### A. Vertex AI - Application Default Credentials (ADC) using `gcloud`
+
+Consider this method of authentication if you have Google Cloud CLI installed.
+
+> **Note:** If you have previously set `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`, you must unset them to use ADC:
+
+```bash
+unset GOOGLE_API_KEY GEMINI_API_KEY
+```
+
+1.  Ensure you have a Google Cloud project and Vertex AI API is enabled.
+2.  Log in to Google Cloud:
+
+    ```bash
+    gcloud auth application-default login
+    ```
+
+    See [Set up Application Default Credentials](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/provide-credentials-adc) for details.
+
+3.  Ensure `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION` are set.
+
+#### B. Vertex AI - Service Account JSON key
+
+Consider this method of authentication in non-interactive environments, CI/CD, or if your organization restricts user-based ADC or API key creation.
+
+> **Note:** If you have previously set `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GEMINI_API_KEY`, you must unset them:
+
+```bash
+unset GOOGLE_API_KEY GEMINI_API_KEY
+```
+
+1.  [Create a service account and key](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/keys-create-delete) and download the provided JSON file. Assign the "Vertex AI User" role to the service account.
+2.  Set the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable to the JSON file's absolute path:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Replace /path/to/your/keyfile.json with the actual path
+    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/keyfile.json"
+    ```
+
+3.  Ensure `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION` are set.
+
+> **Warning:** Protect your service account key file as it provides access to your resources.
+
+#### C. Vertex AI - Google Cloud API key
+
+1.  Obtain a Google Cloud API key: [Get an API Key](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/start/api-keys?usertype=newuser).
+2.  Set the `GOOGLE_API_KEY` environment variable:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY with your Vertex AI API key
+    export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
+    ```
+
+    > **Note:** If you see errors like `"API keys are not supported by this API..."`, your organization might restrict API key usage for this service. Try the [Service Account JSON Key](#b-vertex-ai-service-account-json-key) or [ADC](#a-vertex-ai-application-default-credentials-adc-using-gcloud) methods instead.
+
+To make any of these Vertex AI environment variable settings persistent, see [Persisting Environment Variables](#persisting-environment-variables).
+
+## Persisting Environment Variables
+
+To avoid setting environment variables in every terminal session, you can:
+
+1.  **Add your environment variables to your shell configuration file:** Append the `export ...` commands to your shell's startup file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`) and reload your shell (e.g., `source ~/.bashrc`).
+
+    ```bash
+    # Example for .bashrc
+    echo 'export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"' >> ~/.bashrc
+    source ~/.bashrc
+    ```
+
+    > **Warning:** Be advised that when you export API keys or service account paths in your shell configuration file, any process executed from the shell can potentially read them.
+
+2.  **Use a `.env` file:** Create a `.gemini/.env` file in your project directory or home directory. Gemini CLI automatically loads variables from the first `.env` file it finds, searching up from the current directory, then in `~/.gemini/.env` or `~/.env`. `.gemini/.env` is recommended.
+
+    Example for user-wide settings:
+
+    ```bash
+    mkdir -p ~/.gemini
+    cat >> ~/.gemini/.env <<'EOF'
+    GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="your-project-id"
+    # Add other variables like GEMINI_API_KEY as needed
+    EOF
+    ```
+
+    Variables are loaded from the first file found, not merged.
+
+## Non-interactive mode / headless environments
+
+Non-interative mode / headless environments will use your existing authentication method, if an existing authentication credential is cached.
+
+If you have not already logged in with an authentication credential (such as a Google account), you **must** configure authentication using environment variables:
+
+1.  **Gemini API Key:** Set `GEMINI_API_KEY`.
+2.  **Vertex AI:**
+    - Set `GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI=true`.
+    - **With Google Cloud API Key:** Set `GOOGLE_API_KEY`.
+    - **With ADC:** Ensure ADC is configured (e.g., via a service account with `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`) and set `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` and `GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`.
+
+The CLI will exit with an error in non-interactive mode if no suitable environment variables are found.

+### Troubleshooting File Search Performance
+
+If you are experiencing performance issues with file searching (e.g., with `@` completions), especially in projects with a very large number of files, here are a few things you can try in order of recommendation:
+
+1.  **Use `.geminiignore`:** Create a `.geminiignore` file in your project root to exclude directories that contain a large number of files that you don't need to reference (e.g., build artifacts, logs, `node_modules`). Reducing the total number of files crawled is the most effective way to improve performance.
+
+2.  **Disable Fuzzy Search:** If ignoring files is not enough, you can disable fuzzy search by setting `disableFuzzySearch` to `true` in your `settings.json` file. This will use a simpler, non-fuzzy matching algorithm, which can be faster.
+
+3.  **Disable Recursive File Search:** As a last resort, you can disable recursive file search entirely by setting `enableRecursiveFileSearch` to `false`. This will be the fastest option as it avoids a recursive crawl of your project. However, it means you will need to type the full path to files when using `@` completions.

+# Gemini CLI Configuration
+
+> **Note on Configuration Format, 9/17/25:** The format of the `settings.json` file has been updated to a new, more organized structure.
+>
+> - The new format will be supported in the stable release starting **[09/10/25]**.
+> - Automatic migration from the old format to the new format will begin on **[09/17/25]**.
+>
+> For details on the previous format, please see the [v1 Configuration documentation](./configuration-v1.md).
+
+Gemini CLI offers several ways to configure its behavior, including environment variables, command-line arguments, and settings files. This document outlines the different configuration methods and available settings.
+
+## Configuration layers
+
+Configuration is applied in the following order of precedence (lower numbers are overridden by higher numbers):
+
+1.  **Default values:** Hardcoded defaults within the application.
+2.  **System defaults file:** System-wide default settings that can be overridden by other settings files.
+3.  **User settings file:** Global settings for the current user.
+4.  **Project settings file:** Project-specific settings.
+5.  **System settings file:** System-wide settings that override all other settings files.
+6.  **Environment variables:** System-wide or session-specific variables, potentially loaded from `.env` files.
+7.  **Command-line arguments:** Values passed when launching the CLI.
+
+## Settings files
+
+Gemini CLI uses JSON settings files for persistent configuration. There are four locations for these files:
+
+- **System defaults file:**
+  - **Location:** `/etc/gemini-cli/system-defaults.json` (Linux), `C:\ProgramData\gemini-cli\system-defaults.json` (Windows) or `/Library/Application Support/GeminiCli/system-defaults.json` (macOS). The path can be overridden using the `GEMINI_CLI_SYSTEM_DEFAULTS_PATH` environment variable.
+  - **Scope:** Provides a base layer of system-wide default settings. These settings have the lowest precedence and are intended to be overridden by user, project, or system override settings.
+- **User settings file:**
+  - **Location:** `~/.gemini/settings.json` (where `~` is your home directory).
+  - **Scope:** Applies to all Gemini CLI sessions for the current user. User settings override system defaults.
+- **Project settings file:**
+  - **Location:** `.gemini/settings.json` within your project's root directory.
+  - **Scope:** Applies only when running Gemini CLI from that specific project. Project settings override user settings and system defaults.
+- **System settings file:**
+  - **Location:** `/etc/gemini-cli/settings.json` (Linux), `C:\ProgramData\gemini-cli\settings.json` (Windows) or `/Library/Application Support/GeminiCli/settings.json` (macOS). The path can be overridden using the `GEMINI_CLI_SYSTEM_SETTINGS_PATH` environment variable.
+  - **Scope:** Applies to all Gemini CLI sessions on the system, for all users. System settings act as overrides, taking precedence over all other settings files. May be useful for system administrators at enterprises to have controls over users' Gemini CLI setups.
+
+**Note on environment variables in settings:** String values within your `settings.json` files can reference environment variables using either `$VAR_NAME` or `${VAR_NAME}` syntax. These variables will be automatically resolved when the settings are loaded. For example, if you have an environment variable `MY_API_TOKEN`, you could use it in `settings.json` like this: `"apiKey": "$MY_API_TOKEN"`.
+
+> **Note for Enterprise Users:** For guidance on deploying and managing Gemini CLI in a corporate environment, please see the [Enterprise Configuration](../cli/enterprise.md) documentation.
+
+### The `.gemini` directory in your project
+
+In addition to a project settings file, a project's `.gemini` directory can contain other project-specific files related to Gemini CLI's operation, such as:
+
+- [Custom sandbox profiles](#sandboxing) (e.g., `.gemini/sandbox-macos-custom.sb`, `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile`).
+
+### Available settings in `settings.json`
+
+Settings are organized into categories. All settings should be placed within their corresponding top-level category object in your `settings.json` file.

Note that the system might strip certain schema properties from MCP tool definitions for compatibility. At least one of `command`, `url`, or `httpUrl` must be provided. If multiple are specified, the order of precedence is `httpUrl`, then `url`, then `command`.
+
+- **`mcpServers.<SERVER_NAME>`** (object): The server parameters for the named server.
+  - `command` (string, optional): The command to execute to start the MCP server via standard I/O.

+  - `excludeTools` (array of strings, optional): List of tool names to exclude from this MCP server. Tools listed here will not be available to the model, even if they are exposed by the server. **Note:** `excludeTools` takes precedence over `includeTools` - if a tool is in both lists, it will be excluded.
+
+#### `telemetry`

+
+## Shell History
+
+The CLI keeps a history of shell commands you run. To avoid conflicts between different projects, this history is stored in a project-specific directory within your user's home folder.
+
+- **Location:** `~/.gemini/tmp/<project_hash>/shell_history`
+  - `<project_hash>` is a unique identifier generated from your project's root path.
+  - The history is stored in a file named `shell_history`.
+
+## Environment Variables & `.env` Files
+
+Environment variables are a common way to configure applications, especially for sensitive information like API keys or for settings that might change between environments. For authentication setup, see the [Authentication documentation](./authentication.md) which covers all available authentication methods.
+
+The CLI automatically loads environment variables from an `.env` file. The loading order is:
+
+1.  `.env` file in the current working directory.
+2.  If not found, it searches upwards in parent directories until it finds an `.env` file or reaches the project root (identified by a `.git` folder) or the home directory.
+3.  If still not found, it looks for `~/.env` (in the user's home directory).
+
+**Environment Variable Exclusion:** Some environment variables (like `DEBUG` and `DEBUG_MODE`) are automatically excluded from being loaded from project `.env` files to prevent interference with gemini-cli behavior. Variables from `.gemini/.env` files are never excluded. You can customize this behavior using the `advanced.excludedEnvVars` setting in your `settings.json` file.
+
+- **`GEMINI_API_KEY`**:
+  - Your API key for the Gemini API.
+  - One of several available [authentication methods](./authentication.md).

If you have `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` set in your global environment in Cloud Shell, it will be overridden by this default. To use a different project in Cloud Shell, you must define `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` in a `.env` file.
+  - Example: `export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT="YOUR_PROJECT_ID"`.

+  - Overrides the `telemetry.outfile` setting.
+- **`GEMINI_TELEMETRY_USE_COLLECTOR`**:
+  - Set to `true` or `1` to enable or disable using an external OTLP collector. Any other value is treated as disabling it.
+  - Overrides the `telemetry.useCollector` setting.
+- **`GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION`**:

+- **`DEBUG` or `DEBUG_MODE`** (often used by underlying libraries or the CLI itself):
+  - Set to `true` or `1` to enable verbose debug logging, which can be helpful for troubleshooting.
+  - **Note:** These variables are automatically excluded from project `.env` files by default to prevent interference with gemini-cli behavior. Use `.gemini/.env` files if you need to set these for gemini-cli specifically.
+- **`NO_COLOR`**:
+  - Set to any value to disable all color output in the CLI.
+- **`CLI_TITLE`**:
+  - Set to a string to customize the title of the CLI.

+## Context Files (Hierarchical Instructional Context)
+
+While not strictly configuration for the CLI's _behavior_, context files (defaulting to `GEMINI.md` but configurable via the `context.fileName` setting) are crucial for configuring the _instructional context_ (also referred to as "memory") provided to the Gemini model. This powerful feature allows you to give project-specific instructions, coding style guides, or any relevant background information to the AI, making its responses more tailored and accurate to your needs. The CLI includes UI elements, such as an indicator in the footer showing the number of loaded context files, to keep you informed about the active context.
+
+- **Purpose:** These Markdown files contain instructions, guidelines, or context that you want the Gemini model to be aware of during your interactions. The system is designed to manage this instructional context hierarchically.
+
+### Example Context File Content (e.g., `GEMINI.md`)
+
+Here's a conceptual example of what a context file at the root of a TypeScript project might contain:
+
+```markdown
+# Project: My Awesome TypeScript Library
+
+## General Instructions:
+
+- When generating new TypeScript code, please follow the existing coding style.
+- Ensure all new functions and classes have JSDoc comments.
+- Prefer functional programming paradigms where appropriate.
+- All code should be compatible with TypeScript 5.0 and Node.js 20+.
+
+## Coding Style:
+
+- Use 2 spaces for indentation.
+- Interface names should be prefixed with `I` (e.g., `IUserService`).
+- Private class members should be prefixed with an underscore (`_`).
+- Always use strict equality (`===` and `!==`).
+
+## Specific Component: `src/api/client.ts`
+
+- This file handles all outbound API requests.
+- When adding new API call functions, ensure they include robust error handling and logging.
+- Use the existing `fetchWithRetry` utility for all GET requests.
+
+## Regarding Dependencies:
+
+- Avoid introducing new external dependencies unless absolutely necessary.
+- If a new dependency is required, please state the reason.
+```
+
+This example demonstrates how you can provide general project context, specific coding conventions, and even notes about particular files or components. The more relevant and precise your context files are, the better the AI can assist you. Project-specific context files are highly encouraged to establish conventions and context.
+
+- **Hierarchical Loading and Precedence:** The CLI implements a sophisticated hierarchical memory system by loading context files (e.g., `GEMINI.md`) from several locations. Content from files lower in this list (more specific) typically overrides or supplements content from files higher up (more general). The exact concatenation order and final context can be inspected using the `/memory show` command. The typical loading order is:
+  1.  **Global Context File:**
+      - Location: `~/.gemini/<configured-context-filename>` (e.g., `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` in your user home directory).
+      - Scope: Provides default instructions for all your projects.
+  2.  **Project Root & Ancestors Context Files:**
+      - Location: The CLI searches for the configured context file in the current working directory and then in each parent directory up to either the project root (identified by a `.git` folder) or your home directory.
+      - Scope: Provides context relevant to the entire project or a significant portion of it.
+  3.  **Sub-directory Context Files (Contextual/Local):**
+      - Location: The CLI also scans for the configured context file in subdirectories _below_ the current working directory (respecting common ignore patterns like `node_modules`, `.git`, etc.). The breadth of this search is limited to 200 directories by default, but can be configured with the `context.discoveryMaxDirs` setting in your `settings.json` file.
+      - Scope: Allows for highly specific instructions relevant to a particular component, module, or subsection of your project.
+- **Concatenation & UI Indication:** The contents of all found context files are concatenated (with separators indicating their origin and path) and provided as part of the system prompt to the Gemini model. The CLI footer displays the count of loaded context files, giving you a quick visual cue about the active instructional context.
+- **Importing Content:** You can modularize your context files by importing other Markdown files using the `@path/to/file.md` syntax. For more details, see the [Memory Import Processor documentation](../core/memport.md).
+- **Commands for Memory Management:**
+  - Use `/memory refresh` to force a re-scan and reload of all context files from all configured locations. This updates the AI's instructional context.
+  - Use `/memory show` to display the combined instructional context currently loaded, allowing you to verify the hierarchy and content being used by the AI.
+  - See the [Commands documentation](../cli/commands.md#memory) for full details on the `/memory` command and its sub-commands (`show` and `refresh`).
+
+By understanding and utilizing these configuration layers and the hierarchical nature of context files, you can effectively manage the AI's memory and tailor the Gemini CLI's responses to your specific needs and projects.
+
+## Sandboxing
+
+The Gemini CLI can execute potentially unsafe operations (like shell commands and file modifications) within a sandboxed environment to protect your system.
+
+Sandboxing is disabled by default, but you can enable it in a few ways:
+
+- Using `--sandbox` or `-s` flag.
+- Setting `GEMINI_SANDBOX` environment variable.
+- Sandbox is enabled when using `--yolo` or `--approval-mode=yolo` by default.
+
+By default, it uses a pre-built `gemini-cli-sandbox` Docker image.
+
+For project-specific sandboxing needs, you can create a custom Dockerfile at `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile` in your project's root directory. This Dockerfile can be based on the base sandbox image:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM gemini-cli-sandbox
+
+# Add your custom dependencies or configurations here
+# For example:
+# RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y some-package
+# COPY ./my-config /app/my-config
+```
+
+When `.gemini/sandbox.Dockerfile` exists, you can use `BUILD_SANDBOX` environment variable when running Gemini CLI to automatically build the custom sandbox image:
+
+```bash
+BUILD_SANDBOX=1 gemini -s
+```
+
+## Usage Statistics
+
+To help us improve the Gemini CLI, we collect anonymized usage statistics. This data helps us understand how the CLI is used, identify common issues, and prioritize new features.
+
+**What we collect:**
+
+- **Tool Calls:** We log the names of the tools that are called, whether they succeed or fail, and how long they take to execute. We do not collect the arguments passed to the tools or any data returned by them.
+- **API Requests:** We log the Gemini model used for each request, the duration of the request, and whether it was successful. We do not collect the content of the prompts or responses.
+- **Session Information:** We collect information about the configuration of the CLI, such as the enabled tools and the approval mode.
+
+**What we DON'T collect:**
+
+- **Personally Identifiable Information (PII):** We do not collect any personal information, such as your name, email address, or API keys.
+- **Prompt and Response Content:** We do not log the content of your prompts or the responses from the Gemini model.
+- **File Content:** We do not log the content of any files that are read or written by the CLI.
+
+**How to opt out:**
+
+You can opt out of usage statistics collection at any time by setting the `usageStatisticsEnabled` property to `false` under the `privacy` category in your `settings.json` file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "privacy": {
+    "usageStatisticsEnabled": false
+  }
+}
+```

+# Gemini CLI Examples
+
+Not sure where to get started with Gemini CLI? This document covers examples on how to use Gemini CLI for a variety of tasks.
+
+**Note:** Results are examples intended to showcase potential use cases. Your results may vary.
+
+## Rename your photographs based on content
+
+Scenario: You have a folder containing the following files:
+
+```bash
+photos/photo1.png
+photos/photo2.png
+photos/photo3.png
+```
+
+Give Gemini the following prompt:
+
+```cli
+Rename the photos in my "photos" directory based on their contents.
+```
+
+Result: Gemini will ask for permission to rename your files.
+
+Select **Yes, allow once.** and your files will be renamed:
+
+```bash
+photos/yellow_flowers.png
+photos/antique_dresser.png
+photos/green_android_robot.png
+```
+
+## Explain a repository by reading its code
+
+Scenario: You want to understand how a popular open-source utility works by inspecting its code, not just its README.
+
+Give Gemini CLI the following prompt:
+
+```cli
+Clone the 'chalk' repository from https://github.com/chalk/chalk, read its key source files, and explain how it works.
+```
+
+Result: Gemini will perform a sequence of actions to answer your request.
+
+1.  First, it will ask for permission to run `git clone` to download the repository.
+2.  Next, it will find the important source files and ask for permission to read them.
+3.  Finally, after analyzing the code, it will provide a summary.
+
+Gemini CLI will return an explanation based on the actual source code:
+
+```markdown
+The `chalk` library is a popular npm package for styling terminal output with colors. After analyzing the source code, here's how it works:
+
+- **Core Functionality:** The main file sets up a chainable API. Each color or modifier (like `bold` or `italic`) is a getter that appends the corresponding ANSI escape code to an internal stack.
+
+- **Chainable API:** When you call `chalk.red.bold('Hello')`, you are accessing getters. The `red` getter adds the red color code, and the `bold` getter adds the bold code.
+
+- **Output Generation:** When the chain is treated as a string (e.g., in `console.log`), a final `toString()` method is called. This method joins all the stored ANSI codes, wraps them around the input string ('Hello'), and adds a reset code at the end. This produces the final, styled string that the terminal can render.
+```
+
+## Combine two spreadsheets into one spreadsheet
+
+Scenario: You have two .csv files: `Revenue - 2023.csv` and `Revenue - 2024.csv`. Each file contains monthly revenue figures, like so:
+
+```csv
+January,0
+February,0
+March,0
+April,900
+May,1000
+June,1000
+July,1200
+August,1800
+September,2000
+October,2400
+November,3400
+December,2100
+```
+
+You want to combine these two .csv files into a single .csv file.
+
+Give Gemini CLI the following prompt:
+
+```cli
+Combine the two .csv files into a single .csv file, with each year a different column.
+```
+
+Result: Gemini CLI will read each file and then ask for permission to write a new file. Provide your permission and Gemini CLI will provide the following .csv:
+
+```csv
+Month,2023,2024
+January,0,1000
+February,0,1200
+March,0,2400
+April,900,500
+May,1000,800
+June,1000,900
+July,1200,1000
+August,1800,400
+September,2000,2000
+October,2400,3400
+November,3400,1800
+December,2100,9000
+```
+
+## Run unit tests
+
+Scenario: You've written a simple login page. You wish to write unit tests to ensure that your login page has code coverage.
+
+Give Gemini CLI the following prompt:
+
+```cli
+Write unit tests for Login.js.
+```
+
+Result: Gemini CLI will ask for permission to write a new file and create a test for your login page
+
+```javascript

+# Gemini CLI Companion Plugin: Interface Specification
+
+> Last Updated: September 15, 2025
+
+This document defines the contract for building a companion plugin to enable Gemini CLI's IDE mode. For VS Code, these features (native diffing, context awareness) are provided by the official extension ([marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Google.gemini-cli-vscode-ide-companion)). This specification is for contributors who wish to bring similar functionality to other editors like JetBrains IDEs, Sublime Text, etc.
+
+## I. The Communication Interface
+
+Gemini CLI and the IDE plugin communicate through a local communication channel.
+
+### 1. Transport Layer: MCP over HTTP
+
+The plugin **MUST** run a local HTTP server that implements the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**.
+
+- **Protocol:** The server must be a valid MCP server. We recommend using an existing MCP SDK for your language of choice if available.
+- **Endpoint:** The server should expose a single endpoint (e.g., `/mcp`) for all MCP communication.
+- **Port:** The server **MUST** listen on a dynamically assigned port (i.e., listen on port `0`).
+
+### 2. Discovery Mechanism: The Port File
+
+For Gemini CLI to connect, it needs to discover which IDE instance it's running in and what port your server is using. The plugin **MUST** facilitate this by creating a "discovery file."
+
+- **How the CLI Finds the File:** The CLI determines the Process ID (PID) of the IDE it's running in by traversing the process tree. It then looks for a discovery file that contains this PID in its name.
+- **File Location:** The file must be created in a specific directory: `os.tmpdir()/gemini/ide/`. Your plugin must create this directory if it doesn't exist.
+- **File Naming Convention:** The filename is critical and **MUST** follow the pattern:
+  `gemini-ide-server-${PID}-${PORT}.json`
+  - `${PID}`: The process ID of the parent IDE process. Your plugin must determine this PID and include it in the filename.
+  - `${PORT}`: The port your MCP server is listening on.
+- **File Content & Workspace Validation:** The file **MUST** contain a JSON object with the following structure:
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "port": 12345,
+    "workspacePath": "/path/to/project1:/path/to/project2",
+    "authToken": "a-very-secret-token",
+    "ideInfo": {
+      "name": "vscode",
+      "displayName": "VS Code"
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+  - `port` (number, required): The port of the MCP server.
+  - `workspacePath` (string, required): A list of all open workspace root paths, delimited by the OS-specific path separator (`:` for Linux/macOS, `;` for Windows). The CLI uses this path to ensure it's running in the same project folder that's open in the IDE. If the CLI's current working directory is not a sub-directory of `workspacePath`, the connection will be rejected. Your plugin **MUST** provide the correct, absolute path(s) to the root of the open workspace(s).
+  - `authToken` (string, required): A secret token for securing the connection. The CLI will include this token in an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header on all requests.
+  - `ideInfo` (object, required): Information about the IDE.
+    - `name` (string, required): A short, lowercase identifier for the IDE (e.g., `vscode`, `jetbrains`).
+    - `displayName` (string, required): A user-friendly name for the IDE (e.g., `VS Code`, `JetBrains IDE`).
+
+- **Authentication:** To secure the connection, the plugin **MUST** generate a unique, secret token and include it in the discovery file. The CLI will then include this token in the `Authorization` header for all requests to the MCP server (e.g., `Authorization: Bearer a-very-secret-token`). Your server **MUST** validate this token on every request and reject any that are unauthorized.
+- **Tie-Breaking with Environment Variables (Recommended):** For the most reliable experience, your plugin **SHOULD** both create the discovery file and set the `GEMINI_CLI_IDE_SERVER_PORT` environment variable in the integrated terminal. The file serves as the primary discovery mechanism, but the environment variable is crucial for tie-breaking. If a user has multiple IDE windows open for the same workspace, the CLI uses the `GEMINI_CLI_IDE_SERVER_PORT` variable to identify and connect to the correct window's server.
+
+## II. The Context Interface
+
+To enable context awareness, the plugin **MAY** provide the CLI with real-time information about the user's activity in the IDE.
+
+### `ide/contextUpdate` Notification
+
+The plugin **MAY** send an `ide/contextUpdate` [notification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/index#notifications) to the CLI whenever the user's context changes.
+
+- **Triggering Events:** This notification should be sent (with a recommended debounce of 50ms) when:
+  - A file is opened, closed, or focused.
+  - The user's cursor position or text selection changes in the active file.
+- **Payload (`IdeContext`):** The notification parameters **MUST** be an `IdeContext` object:
+
+  ```typescript
+  interface IdeContext {
+    workspaceState?: {
+      openFiles?: File[];
+      isTrusted?: boolean;
+    };
+  }
+
+  interface File {
+    // Absolute path to the file
+    path: string;
+    // Last focused Unix timestamp (for ordering)
+    timestamp: number;
+    // True if this is the currently focused file
+    isActive?: boolean;
+    cursor?: {
+      // 1-based line number
+      line: number;
+      // 1-based character number
+      character: number;
+    };
+    // The text currently selected by the user
+    selectedText?: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+  **Note:** The `openFiles` list should only include files that exist on disk. Virtual files (e.g., unsaved files without a path, editor settings pages) **MUST** be excluded.
+
+### How the CLI Uses This Context
+
+After receiving the `IdeContext` object, the CLI performs several normalization and truncation steps before sending the information to the model.
+
+- **File Ordering:** The CLI uses the `timestamp` field to determine the most recently used files. It sorts the `openFiles` list based on this value. Therefore, your plugin **MUST** provide an accurate Unix timestamp for when a file was last focused.
+- **Active File:** The CLI considers only the most recent file (after sorting) to be the "active" file. It will ignore the `isActive` flag on all other files and clear their `cursor` and `selectedText` fields. Your plugin should focus on setting `isActive: true` and providing cursor/selection details only for the currently focused file.
+- **Truncation:** To manage token limits, the CLI truncates both the file list (to 10 files) and the `selectedText` (to 16KB).
+
+While the CLI handles the final truncation, it is highly recommended that your plugin also limits the amount of context it sends.
+
+## III. The Diffing Interface
+
+To enable interactive code modifications, the plugin **MAY** expose a diffing interface. This allows the CLI to request that the IDE open a diff view, showing proposed changes to a file. The user can then review, edit, and ultimately accept or reject these changes directly within the IDE.
+
+### `openDiff` Tool
+
+The plugin **MUST** register an `openDiff` tool on its MCP server.
+
+- **Description:** This tool instructs the IDE to open a modifiable diff view for a specific file.
+- **Request (`OpenDiffRequest`):** The tool is invoked via a `tools/call` request. The `arguments` field within the request's `params` **MUST** be an `OpenDiffRequest` object.
+
+  ```typescript
+  interface OpenDiffRequest {
+    // The absolute path to the file to be diffed.
+    filePath: string;
+    // The proposed new content for the file.
+    newContent: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Response (`CallToolResult`):** The tool **MUST** immediately return a `CallToolResult` to acknowledge the request and report whether the diff view was successfully opened.
+  - On Success: If the diff view was opened successfully, the response **MUST** contain empty content (i.e., `content: []`).
+  - On Failure: If an error prevented the diff view from opening, the response **MUST** have `isError: true` and include a `TextContent` block in the `content` array describing the error.
+
+  The actual outcome of the diff (acceptance or rejection) is communicated asynchronously via notifications.
+
+### `closeDiff` Tool
+
+The plugin **MUST** register a `closeDiff` tool on its MCP server.
+
+- **Description:** This tool instructs the IDE to close an open diff view for a specific file.
+- **Request (`CloseDiffRequest`):** The tool is invoked via a `tools/call` request. The `arguments` field within the request's `params` **MUST** be an `CloseDiffRequest` object.
+
+  ```typescript
+  interface CloseDiffRequest {
+    // The absolute path to the file whose diff view should be closed.
+    filePath: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+- **Response (`CallToolResult`):** The tool **MUST** return a `CallToolResult`.
+  - On Success: If the diff view was closed successfully, the response **MUST** include a single **TextContent** block in the content array containing the file's final content before closing.
+  - On Failure: If an error prevented the diff view from closing, the response **MUST** have `isError: true` and include a `TextContent` block in the `content` array describing the error.
+
+### `ide/diffAccepted` Notification
+
+When the user accepts the changes in a diff view (e.g., by clicking an "Apply" or "Save" button), the plugin **MUST** send an `ide/diffAccepted` notification to the CLI.
+
+- **Payload:** The notification parameters **MUST** include the file path and the final content of the file. The content may differ from the original `newContent` if the user made manual edits in the diff view.
+
+  ```typescript
+  {
+    // The absolute path to the file that was diffed.
+    filePath: string;
+    // The full content of the file after acceptance.
+    content: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+### `ide/diffRejected` Notification
+
+When the user rejects the changes (e.g., by closing the diff view without accepting), the plugin **MUST** send an `ide/diffRejected` notification to the CLI.
+
+- **Payload:** The notification parameters **MUST** include the file path of the rejected diff.
+
+  ```typescript
+  {
+    // The absolute path to the file that was diffed.
+    filePath: string;
+  }
+  ```
+
+## IV. The Lifecycle Interface
+
+The plugin **MUST** manage its resources and the discovery file correctly based on the IDE's lifecycle.
+
+- **On Activation (IDE startup/plugin enabled):**
+  1.  Start the MCP server.
+  2.  Create the discovery file.
+- **On Deactivation (IDE shutdown/plugin disabled):**
+  1.  Stop the MCP server.
+  2.  Delete the discovery file.
