What Gemini CLI gets on the canvas.
How Starkomand launches Gemini CLI and what it can show you about each window.
| Launches as | gemini |
|---|---|
| Canvas tools | An app-owned extension, starkomand-canvasLives in its own folder under ~/.gemini/extensions/. |
| Canvas instructions | The extension’s context file |
| Window’s back | Request and turn state onlyThe CLI does not report tool steps to Starkomand. |
| Usage | No usage ring |
| Expired sign-in | Restart other windows with ⟳ after signing in |
Same for every agent. A real terminal signed in as you, diagrams and browser previews beside the window, issue notes you drop onto it, handoffs with a brief to any other agent, a spoken “done” when a turn ends, and persistent windows through Herdr.

Worth knowing.
- Gemini CLI starts MCP servers only in folders you trust, so canvas tools appear once the project folder is trusted.
Questions.
Can I run multiple Gemini CLI sessions at once?
Yes. Each window runs its own gemini in a real terminal, so open as many as your plan allows, side by side or in separate workspaces, next to any other agent.
Does Starkomand change my Gemini CLI configuration?
Only its own extension folder, ~/.gemini/extensions/starkomand-canvas. Your settings.json and GEMINI.md files are not touched.
Do I need an API key for Gemini CLI?
Starkomand never asks for one. Run gemini and choose Sign in with Google. Your plan and usage stay with the provider; Starkomand does not resell tokens.
Next to Gemini CLI.
Run any of these in the next window. See all of them side by side.
Bring the agents you already pay for.
Every agent, every feature, free for 3 days. Your CLIs are already installed; the canvas takes a minute.
