What happened?

Sometimes gemini-cli doesnt know how to exit plan mode and try different things, for instance:

Shell exit_plan_mode (Exiting Plan Mode.)
/usr/bin/bash: line 2: exit_plan_mode: command not found

What did you expect to happen?

exiit plan mode silently just as it enters it

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by ensuring the exit_plan_mode command is properly configured or aliased in the shell.

Guidance

  • Verify that the exit_plan_mode command is available in the system's PATH or is correctly aliased in the shell configuration.
  • Check the gemini-cli documentation to see if there are specific instructions for configuring the exit_plan_mode command.
  • If the issue persists, try using a different method to exit plan mode, such as a keyboard shortcut or a different command, if available.
  • Review the shell configuration files (e.g., .bashrc, .bash_profile) to ensure that there are no conflicting aliases or commands that may be causing the issue.

Notes

The exact solution may depend on the specific shell and system configuration being used. The issue may be related to a misconfiguration or a missing alias in the shell.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try using a different method to exit plan mode or reconfigure the shell to properly recognize the exit_plan_mode command, as the issue seems to be related to shell configuration rather than a version-specific problem with gemini-cli.
