"output": "## Core Guidelines\n\n- **Persona:** Assume the user is a 30-year veteran system administrator. Skip explanations of basic concepts. Be direct, technical, and concise.\n- **Direct Action:** Edit files directly. Do not commit or branch autonomously; always ask for permission first. Proactively suggest logical points for atomic commits and suggest new branches if the work deviates from the current scope or a significant task shift occurs.\n- **Code Comments:** Use them sparingly. Only explain complex \"why\" logic. Never explain \"what\" the code is doing.\n- **Project Discovery:**\n - Always check for a `Makefile` or `scripts/` directory first for build/test/lint commands.\n - Identify language stacks via manifests (`package.json`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `requirements.txt`).\n- **Language Defaults:**\n - **Ruby:** Assume `bundler`.\n - **Python:** Assume `virtualenv`.\n - **Node.js:** Check for `package-lock.json` (npm) vs `yarn.lock`.\n - **Go:** Assume `go modules`.\n- **Standards & Testing:**\n - Mimic local indentation (tabs vs spaces) and naming conventions exactly.\n - Always write a test if a framework exists. Match the existing style (e.g., table-driven tests in Go).\n - Respect `.gitignore` and `.editorconfig`.\n- **Shell Usage:** Prefer non-interactive commands with silent/quiet flags (e.g., `apt-get -y`, `npm install --quiet`).\n- **Git Branching:**\n - **Discovery:** On new repo entry, ask \"Does this repo require feature branches?\". Record answer in the repo's `GEMINI.md`.\n - Use a new branch for each feature or bug fix.\n - include ticket/issue number in branch name if available (e.g., `123-add-login`).\n - Naming convention: `description` (e.g., `add-login`, `memory-leak`).\n - Branch from the default branch (`main` or `master`) and keep branches short-lived.\n - Rebase from the default branch frequently to avoid conflicts.\n- **Git Worktrees:**\n - Suggest `git worktree` for parallel tasks or frequent context switching.\n - **Discovery:** On new repo entry, ask \"Is this repo suitable for worktrees?\". Record answer in the repo's `GEMINI.md`.\n- **Git Safety & History:**\n - **Pre-commit:** Always run `git diff` (or `git diff --staged`) to verify changes before asking to commit.\n - **Force Push:** Permitted *only* on private feature branches (`--force-with-lease`). Never on shared/main branches.\n - **Conflicts:** If a rebase/merge encounters complex conflicts, abort and ask for guidance.\n - **Cleanup:** Squash \"wip\" or \"fix typo\" commits into the main feature commit before final merge instructions.\n- **Git Commits:**\n - Use present tense, imperative mood (e.g., `resolve memory leak`).\n - Keep summary <= 50 chars; wrap body at 72 chars.\n - Explain _why_ in the body, not _what_.\n - Reference issue/ticket numbers if available (e.g., `Fixes #456`).\n - Keep commits atomic; one logical change per commit.\n - Separate whitespace and linting changes into their own commits, distinct from functional logic changes.\n# dxw Development Standards (GEMINI.md)\n\nThis document provides project-level instructions and context for Gemini CLI agents, ensuring adherence to dxw's development standards and practices.\n\n## Core Principles\n- **Secure by Design**: Prioritize security at every stage. Follow OWASP Top Ten guidelines.\n- **High Quality**: Deliver stable, readable, and well-tested code.\n- **Transparency**: Use clear commit messages, detailed PRs, and document architectural decisions.\n\n## Workflow & Task Management\n- **Prerequisites**: Ensure you have a clear understanding of requirements and acceptance criteria before starting work.\n- **Branching**:\n - Always create a new branch for each task.\n - Naming convention: `[ticket-number]/[short-description]` or `[type]/[ticket-number]-[short-description]` (e.g., `123/add-login-validation`).\n - Avoid using personal names in branch identifiers.\n- **TDD (Test-Driven Development)**:\n - Develop code and tests concurrently.\n - Aim for full test coverage.\n - Ensure the test suite passes before every commit.\n\n## Version Control (Git)\n- **Atomic Commits**: Make small, focused, and self-contained commits.\n- **Commit Messages**: \n - Use the imperative mood (e.g., \"Add validation\" not \"Added validation\").\n - Explain *what*, *why*, and *how*.\n - Reference ticket numbers if available.\n- **History Management**:\n - Regularly rebase on the main development branch.\n - Tidy up commit history (e.g., via interactive rebase) before requesting a code review.\n - Prevent accidental commitment of sensitive data (API keys, credentials).\n\n## Code Review & Pull Requests\n- **Mandatory Review**: All production code changes require review by at least two people (author + reviewer).\n- **PR Content**:\n - Link to the relevant ticket.\n - Describe the problem and the solution.\n - Highlight any specific difficulties or trade-offs.\n - Include screenshots for UI changes.\n - Clarify met acceptance criteria and any follow-up work.\n\n## Deployment & CI/CD\n- **Continuous Delivery**: Automate builds, tests, and deployments (e.g., via GitHub Actions).\n- **Versioning**: \n - Application code: No explicit versioning required.\n - Reusable components (libraries, gems, plugins): Must follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).\n\n## Documentation\n- **Changelog**: Maintain a `CHANGELOG.md` in the repository root for versioned components, following [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).\n- **ADRs**: Document significant architectural decisions using Architectural Decision Records (ADRs).\n\n---\n\n## Agent-Specific Instructions\n\nWhen working in this repository, you **must**:\n\n1. **Research First**: Always analyze existing tests and code style before implementing changes.\n2. **Test Everything**: Do not consider a task complete until you have added or updated tests that verify the change and ensure no regressions.\n3. **Commit Atomically**: Do not bundle unrelated changes. Use `git add -p` logic to stage only what is necessary for a specific commit.\n4. **Rebase Frequently**: Before proposing a change, ensure your branch is rebased on the latest `main`.\n5. **Detailed Explanations**: When explaining your work, focus on the \"why\" and \"how\" behind your technical decisions.\n6. **Security Audit**: Proactively check for OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities in any code you write or modify.\n7. **No Secrets**: Never output or commit anything that looks like a secret or credential.\n"

"content": "Yes, you can chain them using two main methods:\n\n### 1. The `@` Import Syntax (Recommended)\nYou can modularize your instructions by importing other files directly inside a `GEMINI.md` file. For example, you can move the dxw standards to a dedicated file and include it:\n\n**In `GEMINI.md`:**\n```markdown\n# Core CLI Guidelines\n... your general rules ...\n\n# dxw Standards\n@./DXW.md\n```\n\n### 2. Hierarchical Context Loading\nThe CLI automatically searches for and concatenates `GEMINI.md` files from multiple levels:\n- **Global:** `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` (applied everywhere)\n- **Project Root:** The folder containing the `.git` directory.\n- **Sub-directories:** Any `GEMINI.md` in subfolders (module-specific).\n\n---\n\n### Suggested Refactor\nI will move the dxw-specific standards into a separate `DXW.md` file and update your root `GEMINI.md` to import it. This keeps your core guidelines focused and your dxw standards modular.\n\nI'll start by creating the `DXW.md` file.",

This approach promotes modularity and clarity in the overall configuration. I need to make sure this file doesn't already exist.",

Proactively suggest logical points for atomic commits and suggest new branches if the work deviates from the current scope or a significant task shift occurs.\n- **Code Comments:** Use them sparingly. Only explain complex \"why\" logic. Never explain \"what\" the code is doing.\n- **Project Discovery:**\n - Always check for a `Makefile` or `scripts/` directory first for build/test/lint commands.\n - Identify language stacks via manifests (`package.json`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `requirements.txt`).\n- **Language Defaults:**\n - **Ruby:** Assume `bundler`.\n - **Python:** Assume `virtualenv`.\n - **Node.js:** Check for `package-lock.json` (npm) vs `yarn.lock`.\n - **Go:** Assume `go modules`.\n- **Standards & Testing:**\n - Mimic local indentation (tabs vs spaces) and naming conventions exactly.\n - Always write a test if a framework exists. Match the existing style (e.g., table-driven tests in Go).\n - Respect `.gitignore` and `.editorconfig`.\n- **Shell Usage:** Prefer non-interactive commands with silent/quiet flags (e.g., `apt-get -y`, `npm install --quiet`).\n- **Git Branching:**\n - **Discovery:** On new repo entry, ask \"Does this repo require feature branches?\".

Never on shared/main branches.\n - **Conflicts:** If a rebase/merge encounters complex conflicts, abort and ask for guidance.\n - **Cleanup:** Squash \"wip\" or \"fix typo\" commits into the main feature commit before final merge instructions.\n- **Git Commits:**\n - Use present tense, imperative mood (e.g., `resolve memory leak`).\n - Keep summary <= 50 chars; wrap body at 72 chars.\n - Explain _why_ in the body, not _what_.\n - Reference issue/ticket numbers if available (e.g., `Fixes #456`).\n - Keep commits atomic; one logical change per commit.\n - Separate whitespace and linting changes into their own commits, distinct from functional logic changes.\n# dxw Development Standards (GEMINI.md)\n\nThis document provides project-level instructions and context for Gemini CLI agents, ensuring adherence to dxw's development standards and practices.\n\n## Core Principles\n- **Secure by Design**: Prioritize security at every stage.

"originalContent": "## Core Guidelines\n\n- **Persona:** Assume the user is a 30-year veteran system administrator. Skip explanations of basic concepts. Be direct, technical, and concise.\n- **Direct Action:** Edit files directly. Do not commit or branch autonomously; always ask for permission first. Proactively suggest logical points for atomic commits and suggest new branches if the work deviates from the current scope or a significant task shift occurs.\n- **Code Comments:** Use them sparingly. Only explain complex \"why\" logic. Never explain \"what\" the code is doing.\n- **Project Discovery:**\n - Always check for a `Makefile` or `scripts/` directory first for build/test/lint commands.\n - Identify language stacks via manifests (`package.json`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, `requirements.txt`).\n- **Language Defaults:**\n - **Ruby:** Assume `bundler`.\n - **Python:** Assume `virtualenv`.\n - **Node.js:** Check for `package-lock.json` (npm) vs `yarn.lock`.\n - **Go:** Assume `go modules`.\n- **Standards & Testing:**\n - Mimic local indentation (tabs vs spaces) and naming conventions exactly.\n - Always write a test if a framework exists. Match the existing style (e.g., table-driven tests in Go).\n - Respect `.gitignore` and `.editorconfig`.\n- **Shell Usage:** Prefer non-interactive commands with silent/quiet flags (e.g., `apt-get -y`, `npm install --quiet`).\n- **Git Branching:**\n - **Discovery:** On new repo entry, ask \"Does this repo require feature branches?\". Record answer in the repo's `GEMINI.md`.\n - Use a new branch for each feature or bug fix.\n - include ticket/issue number in branch name if available (e.g., `123-add-login`).\n - Naming convention: `description` (e.g., `add-login`, `memory-leak`).\n - Branch from the default branch (`main` or `master`) and keep branches short-lived.\n - Rebase from the default branch frequently to avoid conflicts.\n- **Git Worktrees:**\n - Suggest `git worktree` for parallel tasks or frequent context switching.\n - **Discovery:** On new repo entry, ask \"Is this repo suitable for worktrees?\". Record answer in the repo's `GEMINI.md`.\n- **Git Safety & History:**\n - **Pre-commit:** Always run `git diff` (or `git diff --staged`) to verify changes before asking to commit.\n - **Force Push:** Permitted *only* on private feature branches (`--force-with-lease`). Never on shared/main branches.\n - **Conflicts:** If a rebase/merge encounters complex conflicts, abort and ask for guidance.\n - **Cleanup:** Squash \"wip\" or \"fix typo\" commits into the main feature commit before final merge instructions.\n- **Git Commits:**\n - Use present tense, imperative mood (e.g., `resolve memory leak`).\n - Keep summary <= 50 chars; wrap body at 72 chars.\n - Explain _why_ in the body, not _what_.\n - Reference issue/ticket numbers if available (e.g., `Fixes #456`).\n - Keep commits atomic; one logical change per commit.\n - Separate whitespace and linting changes into their own commits, distinct from functional logic changes.\n# dxw Development Standards (GEMINI.md)\n\nThis document provides project-level instructions and context for Gemini CLI agents, ensuring adherence to dxw's development standards and practices.\n\n## Core Principles\n- **Secure by Design**: Prioritize security at every stage. Follow OWASP Top Ten guidelines.\n- **High Quality**: Deliver stable, readable, and well-tested code.\n- **Transparency**: Use clear commit messages, detailed PRs, and document architectural decisions.\n\n## Workflow & Task Management\n- **Prerequisites**: Ensure you have a clear understanding of requirements and acceptance criteria before starting work.\n- **Branching**:\n - Always create a new branch for each task.\n - Naming convention: `[ticket-number]/[short-description]` or `[type]/[ticket-number]-[short-description]` (e.g., `123/add-login-validation`).\n - Avoid using personal names in branch identifiers.\n- **TDD (Test-Driven Development)**:\n - Develop code and tests concurrently.\n - Aim for full test coverage.\n - Ensure the test suite passes before every commit.\n\n## Version Control (Git)\n- **Atomic Commits**: Make small, focused, and self-contained commits.\n- **Commit Messages**: \n - Use the imperative mood (e.g., \"Add validation\" not \"Added validation\").\n - Explain *what*, *why*, and *how*.\n - Reference ticket numbers if available.\n- **History Management**:\n - Regularly rebase on the main development branch.\n - Tidy up commit history (e.g., via interactive rebase) before requesting a code review.\n - Prevent accidental commitment of sensitive data (API keys, credentials).\n\n## Code Review & Pull Requests\n- **Mandatory Review**: All production code changes require review by at least two people (author + reviewer).\n- **PR Content**:\n - Link to the relevant ticket.\n - Describe the problem and the solution.\n - Highlight any specific difficulties or trade-offs.\n - Include screenshots for UI changes.\n - Clarify met acceptance criteria and any follow-up work.\n\n## Deployment & CI/CD\n- **Continuous Delivery**: Automate builds, tests, and deployments (e.g., via GitHub Actions).\n- **Versioning**: \n - Application code: No explicit versioning required.\n - Reusable components (libraries, gems, plugins): Must follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).\n\n## Documentation\n- **Changelog**: Maintain a `CHANGELOG.md` in the repository root for versioned components, following [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).\n- **ADRs**: Document significant architectural decisions using Architectural Decision Records (ADRs).\n\n---\n\n## Agent-Specific Instructions\n\nWhen working in this repository, you **must**:\n\n1. **Research First**: Always analyze existing tests and code style before implementing changes.\n2. **Test Everything**: Do not consider a task complete until you have added or updated tests that verify the change and ensure no regressions.\n3. **Commit Atomically**: Do not bundle unrelated changes. Use `git add -p` logic to stage only what is necessary for a specific commit.\n4. **Rebase Frequently**: Before proposing a change, ensure your branch is rebased on the latest `main`.\n5. **Detailed Explanations**: When explaining your work, focus on the \"why\" and \"how\" behind your technical decisions.\n6. **Security Audit**: Proactively check for OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities in any code you write or modify.\n7. **No Secrets**: Never output or commit anything that looks like a secret or credential.\n",

"description": "Replaces text within a file. By default, replaces a single occurrence, but can replace multiple occurrences when `expected_replacements` is specified. This tool requires providing significant context around the change to ensure precise targeting. Always use the read_file tool to examine the file's current content before attempting a text replacement.\n \n The user has the ability to modify the `new_string` content. If modified, this will be stated in the response.\n \n Expectation for required parameters:\n 1. `old_string` MUST be the exact literal text to replace (including all whitespace, indentation, newlines, and surrounding code etc.).\n 2. `new_string` MUST be the exact literal text to replace `old_string` with (also including all whitespace, indentation, newlines, and surrounding code etc.). Ensure the resulting code is correct and idiomatic and that `old_string` and `new_string` are different.\n 3. `instruction` is the detailed instruction of what needs to be changed. It is important to Make it specific and detailed so developers or large language models can understand what needs to be changed and perform the changes on their own if necessary. \n 4. NEVER escape `old_string` or `new_string`, that would break the exact literal text requirement.\n **Important:** If ANY of the above are not satisfied, the tool will fail. CRITICAL for `old_string`: Must uniquely identify the single instance to change. Include at least 3 lines of context BEFORE and AFTER the target text, matching whitespace and indentation precisely. If this string matches multiple locations, or does not match exactly, the tool will fail.\n 5. Prefer to break down complex and long changes into multiple smaller atomic calls to this tool. Always check the content of the file after changes or not finding a string to match.\n **Multiple replacements:** Set `expected_replacements` to the number of occurrences you want to replace. The tool will replace ALL occurrences that match `old_string` exactly. Ensure the number of replacements matches your expectation.",
