What happened?

The subagents docs talk about being able to bundle subagents into extensions. https://geminicli.com/docs/core/subagents/#extension-subagents

However the extensions docs has no entry about agents. https://geminicli.com/docs/extensions/writing-extensions/

What did you expect to happen?

I expected to see some documentation around packaging subagents into Extensions.

TL;DR

The documentation for packaging subagents into extensions is missing, and users should check the Gemini CLI documentation for potential updates or workarounds.

Guidance

  • Review the Gemini CLI documentation for subagents and extensions to see if there are any updates or changes that may have affected the documentation.
  • Check the Gemini CLI GitHub repository for any open issues or pull requests related to subagent documentation in extensions.
  • Consider reaching out to the Gemini CLI support team or community forums for further assistance with packaging subagents into extensions.
  • Verify that the CLI version (0.38.2) is the latest version, as updates may have addressed the documentation issue.

Notes

The issue appears to be related to missing documentation, and there may be limitations in the current version of the Gemini CLI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the Gemini CLI documentation and GitHub repository for updates or alternative solutions, as the current documentation does not provide clear guidance on packaging subagents into extensions.
