GEMINI.md

GEMINI.md is the project context file convention used by the Google Gemini CLI to provide project-specific instructions, coding standards, architectural notes, and development workflows to the Gemini AI agent. The format follows a hierarchical, plain Markdown structure that the Gemini CLI loads automatically from the working directory and parent directories, layering global, project, and subproject context. It mirrors similar agent context conventions like CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.

GEMINI.md is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include AI Agents, AI Copilot, Coding Standards, Context File, and Developer Workflow.

GEMINI.md’s developer surface includes documentation and 9 more developer resources.
