What did you expect to happen?

The current Gemini CLI implements a /bug command for reporting technical failures. However, it lacks a dedicated /feedback command for qualitative user experience telemetry and feature suggestions.

In a rapid "build-and-ship" ecosystem, the absence of a direct feedback loop within the terminal interface creates a friction point for power users who want to influence the product's architectural direction without leaving their workflow.

Proposed Solution

Implement a /feedback slash command that allows users to submit structured qualitative data directly to the product team. Architectural Logic & ROI

  • Reduced Friction: Users are most likely to provide insightful feedback during their session. Forcing them to navigate to a browser/GitHub UI creates a drop-off in telemetry quality and quantity.

  • User Hope & Engagement: Providing a /feedback command gives the user base the "hope" that the product is evolving based on direct input, fostering a more committed community of developers.

  • Categorization: The command could support optional flags (e.g., /feedback --ux, /feedback --feature) to assist Google in triaging input.

Desired Behavior

  • User types /feedback "The context window management for K8s manifests needs improvement".
  • The CLI confirms receipt: > Feedback received. Thank you for helping us architect a better Gemini.
  • Data is sent to the official telemetry endpoint for the Gemini CLI team.

TL;DR

Implement a /feedback command in the Gemini CLI to collect user feedback and telemetry data directly within the terminal interface.

Guidance

  • To implement the /feedback command, consider adding a new function to handle user input and send it to the telemetry endpoint.
  • Use optional flags (e.g., --ux, --feature) to categorize user feedback and assist with triaging.
  • Ensure the command confirms receipt of feedback to the user, providing a positive experience and encouraging further engagement.
  • Review the proposed solution and architectural logic to understand the benefits of reducing friction and increasing user hope and engagement.

Example

/feedback "The context window management for K8s manifests needs improvement" --ux

This example demonstrates how a user might submit feedback using the proposed /feedback command with an optional --ux flag.

Notes

The implementation details of the /feedback command and its integration with the telemetry endpoint are not specified in the issue. Therefore, the guidance provided is high-level and focused on the desired behavior and user experience.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the /feedback command as proposed to collect user feedback and telemetry data, and to provide a better user experience. This will allow the product team to gather valuable insights and improve the Gemini CLI.
