| description | Generate boilerplate for wrapping Gemini CLI agents in ORGA governance. Use when building headless agents that run inside Symbiont's CliExecutor or when integrating Gemini CLI with Symbiont's trust stack. |
Gemini CLI + ORGA Integration
Help the user create Gemini CLI agents that are governed by Symbiont's ORGA loop.
Architecture
In the runtime-first (Mode B) pattern, Symbiont's CliExecutor spawns Gemini CLI
as a governed subprocess:
Symbiont Runtime (ORGA Loop)
-> CliExecutor (sandbox + budget)
-> Gemini CLI (execution)
-> symbi extension (awareness bridge)
-> parent MCP server (governance tools)
DSL Executor Block
When the user wants to define a Gemini CLI agent in DSL, use the executor block:
agent task_name(input: InputType) -> OutputType {
capabilities = ["read", "analyze", "write"]
executor {
type = "gemini_cli"
allowed_tools = ["read_file", "write_file", "run_shell_command", "symbi__*"]
extension = "symbi"
model = "gemini-2.5-pro"
}
policy access_policy {
allow: read(any) if true
deny: write(any) if not input.approved
audit: all_operations
}
with sandbox = "tier1", timeout = "30m" {
result = execute(input)
return result
}
}
CliExecutor Environment Variables
When Symbiont spawns Gemini CLI, these environment variables are set:
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|
SYMBIONT_MANAGED=true | Signals the extension is inside a managed runtime |
SYMBIONT_MCP_URL | HTTP endpoint to connect back to parent MCP server |
SYMBIONT_RUNTIME_SOCKET | Unix socket for runtime communication |
SYMBIONT_SESSION_ID | Unique session ID for audit correlation |
SYMBIONT_BUDGET_TOKENS | Token budget for this execution |
SYMBIONT_BUDGET_TIMEOUT | Timeout for this execution |
Workflow
- Ask what the agent should do and its security requirements
- Create the DSL definition with an
executor block for gemini_cli
- Define Cedar policies for the agent's capabilities
- Generate the
symbiont.toml configuration if needed
- Validate with
symbi__parse_dsl
- Explain how to run:
symbi run <agent_name> --prompt "..."
