Hey Addy, Thank you very much for this article. It was very useful. Just a small note. test/gen.toml that you shared has a syntax error. (Unnecessary backlashes) If it is invalid TOML, it will cause the custom command not to show up in gemini-cli. Took me a while to debug, but made me learn a few things.

Couldn't agree more. Calling it a supercharged pair programmer realy nails it for me, such a smart way to put it. Have you experimented with any specific system automation workflows?

Addy, thanks for another banger... FYI the gemini `-p` flag is deprecated

The Workspace connector bit aged well. Google just shipped a standalone Workspace CLI that does exactly this; exposes Drive, Gmail, Calendar as MCP tools, built from Discovery Documents so the command surface updates itself. I pulled the repo apart and the architecture is genuinely clever. Wrote up how it works here: https://reading.sh/google-workspace-finally-has-a-cli-and-its-built-for-agents-5f5fe87d0425?sk=b8d7be183e42d86eed2ebe2ba315e273

This is fabulous! I loaded up Gemini-CLI and found your guide very helpful. I am still learning and haven't absorbed everything you have in here. I saved it to Readwise and will be referring back to it. Thank you for writing this up.
