around by creating GEMINI.md and telling it to read the AGENTS.md file.

This pull request introduces a new configuration file to ensure that agent definitions are correctly loaded and processed by Gemini. The change addresses a specific compatibility issue, allowing existing agent configurations to be recognized within the Gemini environment.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a GEMINI.md file as a workaround to ensure the Gemini AI agent processes the instructions located in AGENTS.md. The change is straightforward and addresses the issue described. I have one minor suggestion to improve the conciseness of the new file.
