Agents

gemini

Run Gemini CLI on a canvas.

Open Gemini CLI next to the other agents you use: several sessions in real terminals on one canvas, signed in with your Google account, drawing diagrams and previews beside their windows.

The Starkomand canvas with several agent windows, a hand-drawn diagram beside one of them and a browser preview beside another.

What Gemini CLI gets on the canvas.

How Starkomand launches Gemini CLI and what it can show you about each window.

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.

Set up in a minute.

  1. Install Gemini CLI

    Follow the Gemini CLI setup. Starkomand finds gemini on your PATH.

  2. Sign in once

    Run gemini and choose Sign in with Google.

  3. Open it on the canvas

    ⌘-click the canvas and pick Gemini CLI. Every window you open after that starts signed in.

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.

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.
