| # Gemini CLI Roadmap |
|
|
| The |
| [Official Gemini CLI Roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/google-gemini/projects/11/) |
|
|
| Gemini CLI is an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini directly |
| into your terminal. It provides lightweight access to Gemini, giving you the |
| most direct path from your prompt to our model. |
|
|
| This document outlines our approach to the Gemini CLI roadmap. Here, you'll find |
| our guiding principles and a breakdown of the key areas we are focused on for |
| development. Our roadmap is not a static list but a dynamic set of priorities |
| that are tracked live in our GitHub Issues. |
|
|
| As an |
| [Apache 2.0 open source project](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli?tab=Apache-2.0-1-ov-file#readme), |
| we appreciate and welcome |
| [public contributions](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md), |
| and will give first priority to those contributions aligned with our roadmap. If |
| you want to propose a new feature or change to our roadmap, please start by |
| [opening an issue for discussion](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/new/choose). |
|
|
| ## Disclaimer |
|
|
| This roadmap represents our current thinking and is for informational purposes |
| only. It is not a commitment or a guarantee of future delivery. The development, |
| release, and timing of any features are subject to change, and we may update the |
| roadmap based on community discussions as well as when our priorities evolve. |
|
|
| ## Guiding Principles |
|
|
| Our development is guided by the following principles: |
|
|
| - **Power & Simplicity:** Deliver access to state-of-the-art Gemini models with |
| an intuitive and easy-to-use lightweight command-line interface. |
| - **Extensibility:** An adaptable agent to help you with a variety of use cases |
| and environments along with the ability to run these agents anywhere. |
| - **Intelligent:** Gemini CLI should be reliably ranked among the best agentic |
| tools as measured by benchmarks like SWE Bench, Terminal Bench, and CSAT. |
| - **Free and Open Source:** Foster a thriving open source community where cost |
| isn’t a barrier to personal use, and PRs get merged quickly. This means |
| resolving and closing issues, pull requests, and discussion posts quickly. |
|
|
| ## How the Roadmap Works |
|
|
| Our roadmap is managed directly through GitHub Issues. See our entry point |
| Roadmap Issue [here](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/4191). |
| This approach allows for transparency and gives you a direct way to learn more |
| or get involved with any specific initiative. All our roadmap items will be |
| tagged as Type:`Feature` and Label:`maintainer` for features we are actively |
| working on, or Type:`Task` and Label:`maintainer` for a more detailed list of |
| tasks. |
|
|
| Issues are organized to provide key information at a glance: |
|
|
| - **Target Quarter:** `Milestone` denotes the anticipated delivery timeline. |
| - **Feature Area:** Labels such as `area/model` or `area/tooling` categorize the |
| work. |
| - **Issue Type:** _Workstream_ => _Epics_ => _Features_ => _Tasks|Bugs_ |
|
|
| To see what we're working on, you can filter our issues by these dimensions. See |
| all our items [here](https://github.com/orgs/google-gemini/projects/11/views/19) |
|
|
| ## Focus Areas |
|
|
| To better organize our efforts, we categorize our work into several key feature |
| areas. These labels are used on our GitHub Issues to help you filter and find |
| initiatives that interest you. |
|
|
| - **Authentication:** Secure user access via API keys, Gemini Code Assist login, |
| etc. |
| - **Model:** Support new Gemini models, multi-modality, local execution, and |
| performance tuning. |
| - **User Experience:** Improve the CLI's usability, performance, interactive |
| features, and documentation. |
| - **Tooling:** Built-in tools and the MCP ecosystem. |
| - **Core:** Core functionality of the CLI |
| - **Extensibility:** Bringing Gemini CLI to other surfaces e.g. GitHub. |
| - **Contribution:** Improve the contribution process via test automation and |
| CI/CD pipeline enhancements. |
| - **Platform:** Manage installation, OS support, and the underlying CLI |
| framework. |
| - **Quality:** Focus on testing, reliability, performance, and overall product |
| quality. |
| - **Background Agents:** Enable long-running, autonomous tasks and proactive |
| assistance. |
| - **Security and Privacy:** For all things related to security and privacy |
|

| ## How to Contribute |
|
|
| Gemini CLI is an open-source project, and we welcome contributions from the |
| community! Whether you're a developer, a designer, or just an enthusiastic user |
| you can find our |
| [Community Guidelines here](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) |
| to learn how to get started. There are many ways to get involved: |
|
|
| - **Roadmap:** Please review and find areas in our |
| [roadmap](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/4191) that you |
| would like to contribute to. Contributions based on this will be easiest to |
| integrate with. |
| - **Report Bugs:** If you find an issue, please create a |
| [bug](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/new?template=bug_report.yml) |
| with as much detail as possible. If you believe it is a critical breaking |
| issue preventing direct CLI usage, please tag it as `priority/p0`. |
| - **Suggest Features:** Have a great idea? We'd love to hear it! Open a |
| [feature request](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/new?template=feature_request.yml). |
| - **Contribute Code:** Check out our |
| [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) |
| file for guidelines on how to submit pull requests. We have a list of "good |
| first issues" for new contributors. |
| - **Write Documentation:** Help us improve our documentation, tutorials, and |
| examples. We are excited about the future of Gemini CLI and look forward to |
