Summary

Adds the ability to @ mention the gemini-cli-robot, triggering the repo's resident agent for doing investigations, tasks, tracking new repository metrics, or implementing automation.

For security purposes:

  • This only works for repo maintainers.
  • The agent does not have access to any credentials and only has read access to the repo and issue tracker.
  • All comments and other interactions are done indirectly by writing artifacts specifying what the agent wants done. Deterministic code in the publish phase then approves or rejects the comment or PR push based on rules. By default the agent can only push to PRs it has authored or it was mentioned in and it can only comment on PRs or issues where it was mentioned.

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enables interactive capabilities for the gemini-cli-robot, allowing it to respond to direct mentions from repository maintainers. The changes include new operational guidelines for handling interactive requests, updated security policies to ensure safe interactions, and a refactoring of existing documentation to maintain consistency across the bot's operational phases.

Highlights

  • Interactive Agent Capability: Introduced the ability for maintainers to @ mention the gemini-cli-robot, enabling it to perform investigations, answer questions, and implement workflow updates.
  • Security and Trust: Implemented strict security protocols, including treating all user input as untrusted, enforcing role separation, and restricting the agent to read-only access to the repository.
  • Documentation and Protocols: Added comprehensive documentation for the new interactive agent phase and streamlined existing metrics documentation to improve clarity and maintainability.

Code Review

This pull request centralizes repository policies, security protocols, and memory management into a new common.md file, while introducing an interactive.md phase for handling user-initiated requests. It also refactors the metrics.md documentation to reduce redundancy and streamline the investigation workflow. Review feedback identifies two necessary improvements: adding issue-comment.md to the list of files excluded from git staging to prevent transient artifacts from being committed, and relaxing the metrics output constraints to support existing JSON-based reporting formats.

Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.
