What happened?

<img width="1307" height="540" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ea63a2bc-79a2-4b06-9ae4-fd4d2c547f60" />

I have a bunch of subagents that I am testing. However everytime that I run any command to enable / disable subagents, I am continuously getting a prompt to enable certain subagents.

I don't want these subagents enabled. However the only options I get is to enable, or to ask again next time. I want to tell it to never ask again.

What did you expect to happen?

The subagent enablement prompt is spammy. I need it to stop. I don't want to enable any subagents.

TL;DR

Disable the subagent enablement prompt by finding a configuration option or command to suppress the prompt permanently.

Guidance

  • Investigate the /about command output for any configuration or setting related to subagent enablement prompts.
  • Look for a command or option to disable the prompt, such as a flag or a setting to never ask again.
  • Check the documentation or help section of the gemini CLI for any information on customizing or disabling subagent enablement prompts.
  • If no direct option is available, consider reaching out to the development team or support for further assistance.

Notes

The provided information does not include a clear solution, and the exact steps to disable the prompt are unclear. Further investigation into the gemini CLI and its configuration options is necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate and utilize any available configuration options or commands to disable the subagent enablement prompt, as a direct solution is not immediately apparent from the provided information.
