Ask Gemini (Async)
Send the user’s request to Gemini asynchronously.
Execution (MANDATORY)
Bash(gask <<'EOF'
$ARGUMENTS
EOF
, run_in_background=true)
CRITICAL Rules
- Always use
run_in_background=true. - After running
gask, say “Gemini processing...” and immediately end your turn. - Do not wait for results or check status in the same turn.
Notes
- If it fails, check backend health with
gping, or start it withccb up gemini. - For short 1-liners you can also do:
Bash(gask "…", run_in_background=true)(but prefer heredoc for arbitrary text). - For a more complete pattern (including heredoc/multiline):
