 ### Planning Workflow
 
+Plan Mode uses an adaptive planning workflow where the research depth, plan
+structure, and consultation level are proportional to the task's complexity:
+
 1.  **Explore & Analyze:** Analyze requirements and use read-only tools to map
-    the codebase and validate assumptions. For complex tasks, identify at least
-    two viable implementation approaches.
-2.  **Consult:** Present a summary of the identified approaches via [`ask_user`]
-    to obtain a selection. For simple or canonical tasks, this step may be
-    skipped.
-3.  **Draft:** Once an approach is selected, write a detailed implementation
-    plan to the plans directory.
+    affected modules and identify dependencies.
+2.  **Consult:** The depth of consultation is proportional to the task's
+    complexity:
+    - **Simple Tasks:** Proceed directly to drafting.
+    - **Standard Tasks:** Present a summary of viable approaches via
+      [`ask_user`] for selection.
+    - **Complex Tasks:** Present detailed trade-offs for at least two viable
+      approaches via [`ask_user`] and obtain approval before drafting.
+3.  **Draft:** Write a detailed implementation plan to the
+    [plans directory](#custom-plan-directory-and-policies). The plan's structure
+    adapts to the task:
+    - **Simple Tasks:** Focused on specific **Changes** and **Verification**
+      steps.
+    - **Standard Tasks:** Includes an **Objective**, **Key Files & Context**,
+      **Implementation Steps**, and **Verification & Testing**.
+    - **Complex Tasks:** Comprehensive plans including **Background &
+      Motivation**, **Scope & Impact**, **Proposed Solution**, **Alternatives
+      Considered**, a phased **Implementation Plan**, **Verification**, and
+      **Migration & Rollback** strategies.
 4.  **Review & Approval:** Use the [`exit_plan_mode`] tool to present the plan
     and formally request approval.
     - **Approve:** Exit Plan Mode and start implementation.
     - **Iterate:** Provide feedback to refine the plan.
+    - **Refine manually:** Press **Ctrl + X** to open the plan file in your
+      [preferred external editor]. This allows you to manually refine the plan
+      steps before approval. The CLI will automatically refresh and show the
+      updated plan after you save and close the editor.

+This section addresses common questions about Gemini CLI usage, security, and

+### Why can't I use third-party software (e.g. Claude Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode) with Gemini CLI?
+
+Using third-party software, tools, or services to harvest or piggyback on Gemini
+CLI's OAuth authentication to access our backend services is a direct violation
+of our [applicable terms and policies](tos-privacy.md). Doing so bypasses our
+intended authentication and security structures, and such actions may be grounds

+use a third-party coding agent with Gemini, the supported and secure method is
+to use a Vertex AI or Google AI Studio API key.

+
+To minimize noise during startup, MCP connection errors for background servers
+are "silent by default." If issues are detected during startup, a single
+informational hint will be shown: _"MCP issues detected. Run /mcp list for
+status."_
+
+Detailed, actionable diagnostics for a specific server are automatically
+re-enabled when:
+
+1.  You run an interactive command like `/mcp list`, `/mcp auth`, etc.
+2.  The model attempts to execute a tool from that server.
+3.  You invoke an MCP prompt from that server.
+
+You can also use `gemini mcp list` from your shell to see connection errors for
+all configured servers.
