+# 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"]
+  }
+}
+```

+# Advanced Model Configuration
+
+This guide details the Model Configuration system within the Gemini CLI.
+Designed for researchers, AI quality engineers, and advanced users, this system
+provides a rigorous framework for managing generative model hyperparameters and
+behaviors.
+
+> **Warning**: This is a power-user feature. Configuration values are passed
+> directly to the model provider with minimal validation. Incorrect settings
+> (e.g., incompatible parameter combinations) may result in runtime errors from
+> the API.
+
+## 1. System Overview
+
+The Model Configuration system (`ModelConfigService`) enables deterministic
+control over model generation. It decouples the requested model identifier
+(e.g., a CLI flag or agent request) from the underlying API configuration. This
+allows for:
+
+- **Precise Hyperparameter Tuning**: Direct control over `temperature`, `topP`,
+  `thinkingBudget`, and other SDK-level parameters.
+- **Environment-Specific Behavior**: Distinct configurations for different
+  operating contexts (e.g., testing vs. production).
+- **Agent-Scoped Customization**: Applying specific settings only when a
+  particular agent is active.
+
+The system operates on two core primitives: **Aliases** and **Overrides**.
+
+## 2. Configuration Primitives
+
+These settings are located under the `modelConfigs` key in your configuration
+file.
+
+### Aliases (`customAliases`)
+
+Aliases are named, reusable configuration presets. Users should define their own
+aliases (or override system defaults) in the `customAliases` map.
+
+- **Inheritance**: An alias can `extends` another alias (including system
+  defaults like `chat-base`), inheriting its `modelConfig`. Child aliases can
+  overwrite or augment inherited settings.
+- **Abstract Aliases**: An alias is not required to specify a concrete `model`
+  if it serves purely as a base for other aliases.
+
+**Example Hierarchy**:
+
+```json
+"modelConfigs": {
+  "customAliases": {
+    "base": {
+      "modelConfig": {
+        "generateContentConfig": { "temperature": 0.0 }
+      }
+    },
+    "chat-base": {
+      "extends": "base",
+      "modelConfig": {
+        "generateContentConfig": { "temperature": 0.7 }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Overrides (`overrides`)
+
+Overrides are conditional rules that inject configuration based on the runtime
+context. They are evaluated dynamically for each model request.
+
+- **Match Criteria**: Overrides apply when the request context matches the
+  specified `match` properties.
+  - `model`: Matches the requested model name or alias.
+  - `overrideScope`: Matches the distinct scope of the request (typically the
+    agent name, e.g., `codebaseInvestigator`).
+
+**Example Override**:
+
+```json
+"modelConfigs": {
+  "overrides": [
+    {
+      "match": {
+        "overrideScope": "codebaseInvestigator"
+      },
+      "modelConfig": {
+        "generateContentConfig": { "temperature": 0.1 }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## 3. Resolution Strategy
+
+The `ModelConfigService` resolves the final configuration through a two-step
+process:
+
+### Step 1: Alias Resolution
+
+The requested model string is looked up in the merged map of system `aliases`
+and user `customAliases`.
+
+1.  If found, the system recursively resolves the `extends` chain.
+2.  Settings are merged from parent to child (child wins).
+3.  This results in a base `ResolvedModelConfig`.
+4.  If not found, the requested string is treated as the raw model name.
+
+### Step 2: Override Application
+
+The system evaluates the `overrides` list against the request context (`model`
+and `overrideScope`).
+
+1.  **Filtering**: All matching overrides are identified.
+2.  **Sorting**: Matches are prioritized by **specificity** (the number of
+    matched keys in the `match` object).
+    - Specific matches (e.g., `model` + `overrideScope`) override broad matches
+      (e.g., `model` only).
+    - Tie-breaking: If specificity is equal, the order of definition in the
+      `overrides` array is preserved (last one wins).
+3.  **Merging**: The configurations from the sorted overrides are merged
+    sequentially onto the base configuration.
+
+## 4. Configuration Reference
+
+The configuration follows the `ModelConfigServiceConfig` interface.
+
+### `ModelConfig` Object
+
+Defines the actual parameters for the model.
+
+| Property                | Type     | Description                                                        |
+| :---------------------- | :------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `model`                 | `string` | The identifier of the model to be called (e.g., `gemini-2.5-pro`). |
+| `generateContentConfig` | `object` | The configuration object passed to the `@google/genai` SDK.        |
+
+### `GenerateContentConfig` (Common Parameters)
+
+Directly maps to the SDK's `GenerateContentConfig`. Common parameters include:
+
+- **`temperature`**: (`number`) Controls output randomness. Lower values (0.0)
+  are deterministic; higher values (>0.7) are creative.
+- **`topP`**: (`number`) Nucleus sampling probability.
+- **`maxOutputTokens`**: (`number`) Limit on generated response length.
+- **`thinkingConfig`**: (`object`) Configuration for models with reasoning
+  capabilities (e.g., `thinkingBudget`, `includeThoughts`).
+
+## 5. Practical Examples
+
+### Defining a Deterministic Baseline
+
+Create an alias for tasks requiring high precision, extending the standard chat
+configuration but enforcing zero temperature.
+
+```json
+"modelConfigs": {
+  "customAliases": {
+    "precise-mode": {
+      "extends": "chat-base",
+      "modelConfig": {
+        "generateContentConfig": {
+          "temperature": 0.0,
+          "topP": 1.0
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Agent-Specific Parameter Injection
+
+Enforce extended thinking budgets for a specific agent without altering the
+global default, e.g. for the `codebaseInvestigator`.
+
+```json
+"modelConfigs": {
+  "overrides": [
+    {
+      "match": {
+        "overrideScope": "codebaseInvestigator"
+      },
+      "modelConfig": {
+        "generateContentConfig": {
+          "thinkingConfig": { "thinkingBudget": 4096 }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### Experimental Model Evaluation
+
+Route traffic for a specific alias to a preview model for A/B testing, without
+changing client code.
+
+```json
+"modelConfigs": {
+  "overrides": [
+    {
+      "match": {
+        "model": "gemini-2.5-pro"
+      },
+      "modelConfig": {
+        "model": "gemini-2.5-pro-experimental-001"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}

+## 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 */
+        }

+      "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
+  }
+}
+```
+

+    },
+    "files": {
+      "totalLinesAdded": 0,
+      "totalLinesRemoved": 0
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Streaming JSON output
+
+Returns real-time events as newline-delimited JSON (JSONL). Each significant
+action (initialization, messages, tool calls, results) emits immediately as it
+occurs. This format is ideal for monitoring long-running operations, building
+UIs with live progress, and creating automation pipelines that react to events.
+
+#### When to use streaming JSON
+
+Use `--output-format stream-json` when you need:
+
+- **Real-time progress monitoring** - See tool calls and responses as they
+  happen
+- **Event-driven automation** - React to specific events (e.g., tool failures)
+- **Live UI updates** - Build interfaces showing AI agent activity in real-time
+- **Detailed execution logs** - Capture complete interaction history with
+  timestamps
+- **Pipeline integration** - Stream events to logging/monitoring systems
+
+#### Event types
+
+The streaming format emits 6 event types:
+
+1. **`init`** - Session starts (includes session_id, model)
+2. **`message`** - User prompts and assistant responses
+3. **`tool_use`** - Tool call requests with parameters
+4. **`tool_result`** - Tool execution results (success/error)
+5. **`error`** - Non-fatal errors and warnings
+6. **`result`** - Final session outcome with aggregated stats
+
+#### Basic usage
+
+```bash
+# Stream events to console
+gemini --output-format stream-json --prompt "What is 2+2?"
+
+# Save event stream to file
+gemini --output-format stream-json --prompt "Analyze this code" > events.jsonl
+
+# Parse with jq
+gemini --output-format stream-json --prompt "List files" | jq -r '.type'
+```
+
+#### Example output
+
+Each line is a complete JSON event:
+
+```jsonl
+{"type":"init","timestamp":"2025-10-10T12:00:00.000Z","session_id":"abc123","model":"gemini-2.0-flash-exp"}
+{"type":"message","role":"user","content":"List files in current directory","timestamp":"2025-10-10T12:00:01.000Z"}
+{"type":"tool_use","tool_name":"Bash","tool_id":"bash-123","parameters":{"command":"ls -la"},"timestamp":"2025-10-10T12:00:02.000Z"}
+{"type":"tool_result","tool_id":"bash-123","status":"success","output":"file1.txt\nfile2.txt","timestamp":"2025-10-10T12:00:03.000Z"}
+{"type":"message","role":"assistant","content":"Here are the files...","delta":true,"timestamp":"2025-10-10T12:00:04.000Z"}
+{"type":"result","status":"success","stats":{"total_tokens":250,"input_tokens":50,"output_tokens":200,"duration_ms":3000,"tool_calls":1},"timestamp":"2025-10-10T12:00:05.000Z"}
+```
+
+### File redirection
+
+Save output to files or pipe to other commands:
+
+```bash
+# Save to file
+gemini -p "Explain Docker" > docker-explanation.txt
+gemini -p "Explain Docker" --output-format json > docker-explanation.json
+
+# Append to file
+gemini -p "Add more details" >> docker-explanation.txt
+
+# Pipe to other tools
+gemini -p "What is Kubernetes?" --output-format json | jq '.response'
+gemini -p "Explain microservices" | wc -w
+gemini -p "List programming languages" | grep -i "python"
+```
