This repository provides a GEMINI.md configuration file specifically designed for general system administration tasks rather than project-specific work. The configuration is intended to be deployed to your home directory (~/GEMINI.md) to guide AI assistants when they are invoked from the home folder level.
When working with AI CLI tools, there's often an assumption that starting from the home directory is a mistake - that you should be working within a specific project repository for better file isolation. This repository addresses that assumption by providing clear guidance that:
- Home directory execution is intentional for system administration tasks
- Wide filesystem access is desired for general maintenance and configuration
- The AI should assume system-level tasks when invoked from this location
- Prevents confusion when the AI encounters home directory as the working location
- Provides context about the user's environment and preferences
- Establishes clear guidelines for system administration workflows
- Reduces unnecessary prompting about whether you meant to be in a different directory
- Clone this repository
- Run the included script to copy
GEMINI.mdto your home directory:./copy_gemini.sh
- The AI will now understand that home directory execution is intentional for system administration
- GEMINI.md: The main configuration file with system administration guidance
- copy_gemini.sh: Script to deploy the configuration to your home directory
- README.md: This documentation
The configuration is tailored for:
- Ubuntu 25.04 with KDE Plasma
- Wayland display server
- Home-based development workflow with
~/reposstructure - GitHub CLI integration and version control preferences
This setup helps maintain a clear distinction between general system work (from home) and project-specific development (from repository directories).
