Tuskway for Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI, building from the plan your team signed off.

Gemini CLI is one more agent in a team that already uses several. The Tuskway extension gives it the same feature spec as everyone else: the context, the tech design and a ticket brief with acceptance checks.

What changes

What Gemini CLI gets from Tuskway.

  • One extension

    Install the Tuskway extension from a terminal, restart Gemini CLI and sign in. The workflow skills and the MCP server come together.

  • Same commands, any agent

    Start an epic, write the design, draft tickets, tackle one. The steps are the same in Gemini CLI as in Claude Code or Codex.

  • Work that others can pick up

    What Gemini CLI decides lands in the shared notes, so the next agent, in any tool, starts from there.

Setup

Connect Gemini CLI in a minute.

Then run the workflow from Gemini CLI, one command per step:

  1. /start-epicCapture the goal, constraints and open questions.
  2. /write-designDraft the tech design in sections your team reviews.
  3. /draft-ticketsSplit it into briefs with acceptance checks.
  4. /tackle-ticketBuild one ticket from its brief and design section.

Tuskway plugin

The plugin includes the MCP server and the Tuskway workflow skills: start an epic, write the design, draft tickets and tackle them. You connect once.

  1. 1

    In a terminal, not inside the interactive CLI, install the extension. Git needs to be installed. Then restart Gemini CLI.

    Install
    gemini extensions install https://github.com/Tuskway/plugin
  2. 2

    Sign in when Gemini CLI asks.

  3. 3

    Say “set up Tuskway”. The setup skill checks the connection, finds your workspace and suggests what to do next.

Without the plugin: MCP server only· show

Connects the tools without the workflow skills. The plugin already includes this server, so use one or the other. If you switch to the plugin, remove this connection.

MCP
gemini mcp add --transport http tuskway https://tuskway.com/mcp

FAQ

Gemini CLI questions.

Can I connect only the MCP server?

Yes. Add Tuskway as an HTTP MCP server with gemini mcp add. The extension adds the workflow skills on top.

Your teammates use something else? Same spec.

Give Gemini CLI a plan your team agreed on.

Every agent on the team reads the same spec, whatever tool it runs in.
