SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gemini-based advisory on the user's local machine enables rapid brainstorming and design feedback without routing through external agents, and it provides a structured artifact for future reference.

Core Features & Use Cases

Local Gemini CLI execution: Run Gemini directly on the host to obtain prompts, ideas, and critiques without leaving the local environment.
Direct advisory for brainstorming and design feedback: Use Gemini for quick ideation, critique, and alternative perspectives during early design or problem framing.
Artifact capture: Save a markdown artifact to .omx/artifacts/gemini-ask-gemini-<timestamp>.md containing the original task, final prompt sent to Gemini, output, concise summary, and next steps.
Legacy wrappers support: Transitional wrappers (e.g., ./scripts/ask-gemini.sh) may exist to ease adoption in existing projects.
Graceful missing-binary handling: If Gemini CLI is not found, provide guidance to install and verify the CLI before retrying.

Quick Start

Invoke Gemini locally with omx ask gemini "<your task>" to start an advisory session and generate an artifact.
