Endigest AI Core Summary
This article introduces extension settings for Gemini CLI, a new feature that automates extension configuration by prompting users for required values at installation time.
•Extension authors define required settings (API keys, base URLs, project IDs) in gemini-extension.json using a settings array with name, description, envVar, and optional sensitive fields
•Users are automatically prompted to provide values during installation, eliminating the need to manually export environment variables
•Sensitive settings such as API keys and passwords are stored in the system keychain rather than plain text files
•The new `gemini extensions config` command enables post-installation management, supporting both full interactive reconfiguration and targeted single-variable updates
•
Workspace scope (`--scope workspace`) allows project-specific configuration overrides independent of global settings
