✨ Feature Request — Native Markdown-Agent Runtime for Gemini CLI

(Achieve with first-class support what I can only do via a “Claude Code hack” today)

Background

I maintain LLMunix and its spinoff Framework Core — experimental OS-style frameworks where every agent, tool, and state file is written in Markdown.
Although Claude Code was never intended to act as a full OS runtime, a custom boot prompt I wrote “hacks” it into:

1. Parsing components/agents/*.md and components/tools/*.md.
2. Entering an EXECUTION MODE loop that updates workspace/state/{plan,context,history,constraints}.md.
3. Generating new agents/tools on-the-fly by writing more Markdown, then invoking them.

It works surprisingly well, but it’s fragile, undocumented, and relies on prompt gymnastics.

What Gemini CLI needs

Capability	How my Claude hack handles it	Desired Gemini CLI behavior
Markdown runtime flag	Boot prompt + manual dir map	gemini run-os <root_dir> --goal "…", auto-loads agents & tools
Stateful loop / resume	File mutations; reload by hand	Built-in loop, --continue resumes state seamlessly
Dynamic tool stubs	I wrap new .md into shell/py	Watch for new tool files, register shell/python/js stubs automatically
Constraint evolution	Claude edits constraints.md; prompt enforces	Expose constraints via JSON/ENV so external tools read live values
Firmware / safety rules	Ad-hoc Firmware.md, no guard	Honor immutable guardrails & rate-limits out-of-the-box
Multi-LLM routing (future)	N/A	Allow `model: gemini-pro

Why it matters

• Beyond coding — Enables Gemini to automate research briefs, DevOps runbooks, content creation, etc.
• Showcases long context — Perfect demo for Gemini-Pro’s million-token window.
• Ecosystem boost — All existing LLMunix / Framework Core libraries become plug-and-play with Gemini.

Minimal PoC (using the LLMunix repo)

# 1 — Grab the full Markdown OS prototype
git clone https://github.com/EvolvingAgentsLabs/llmunix
cd llmunix

# 2 — Boot the OS with Gemini CLI  (proposed)
gemini run-os --goal "Monitor 5 tech news sources, extract trending topics, and generate an intelligence briefing"
#    ↳ Expected CLI behaviour:
#      • Parse all agents/tools under components/ and system/
#      • Spin up an EXECUTION MODE loop, creating workspace/state/{plan,context,history,constraints}.md
#      • Adapt constraints live (e.g., priority, persona) while running
#      • Write the final briefing to workspace/outputs/intel_briefing.md

Result
Gemini interprets every Markdown spec, maintains live state, self-adapts through constraints.md, and produces the briefing—without relying on the brittle prompt hack currently required in Claude Code.
