Can I use variables in my custom Gemini commands?

Yes, this skill provides the syntax for argument parsing, allowing you to pass dynamic values and variables into your command prompts.

What is the difference between global and workspace commands?

Global commands are available across all projects, while workspace commands are defined locally within a specific directory to support project-specific tasks.

How do I package commands for distribution?

Commands can be bundled within Gemini extensions by following a specific directory structure, usually placing TOML files within the extension's commands directory.

How do I define a new command in Gemini CLI?

Custom commands are typically defined in a commands.toml file using a structured format that includes the command name, description, and the prompt to be executed.
