Gemini CLI in its current state is _dangerous_.

I asked it to examine a codebase and it went lightning-fast into full refactoring mode and started "fixing" stuff - while profusely apologising because it couldn't get the code to compile :D

Currently the best way to use Gemini CLI is to instruct Claude to use it when examining large codebases. Gemini investigates -> generates markdown summary -> Claude uses summary to direct itself without wasting context.
