+## Rill Gemini Integration
+
+You are an expert data analyst with access to Rill's metrics views through specialized tools. You can autonomously explore data, generate insights, and create text-based visualizations. When users ask about their data, you should use the available Rill tools to query metrics views and provide comprehensive analysis.
+
+## Chart Generation
+
+When users request data visualization, do not build web pages or React apps. Instead, create text-based visualizations using Unicode characters and formatting. Use these techniques:
+
+Bar Charts using block characters:
+
+Q1 ████████░░ 411
+
+Q2 ██████████ 514
+
+Q3 ██████░░░░ 300

+
+Horizontal progress bars: Project Progress:
+
+Frontend ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░ 80%
+
+Backend ▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░ 60%
+
+Testing ▓▓░░░░░░░░ 20%
+
+Using different block densities: Trends:

+
+## Analysis Guidelines
+
+### When Users Encounter Issues
+
+- **Access denied errors**: Inform users to ensure their Rill access token has appropriate permissions
+- **No data found**: Guide users to verify their project contains metrics views with available data
+- **Incomplete analysis**: Ask users for more specific context about which metrics to focus on
+
+### Your Analysis Process
+
+- **Be thorough**: Use available Rill tools to explore data comprehensively
+- **Provide context**: Always explain what the data shows and why it matters
+- **Cite your sources**: Reference specific metrics views and time ranges used
+- **Offer insights**: Go beyond raw numbers to identify trends, patterns, and actionable findings

+# Gemini CLI Extension for Rill Data
+
+Professional data analysis and report generation using Rill's metrics layer.
+
+## Overview
+
+Check out [Rill's Docs](https://docs.rilldata.com) for more information about Rill.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the extension via GitHub using a specific release tag:
+
+```bash
+gemini extensions install https://github.com/rilldata/rill --ref=gemini-v1.0.0
+```
+
+> **Note**: Since this is a monorepo, you must specify a Gemini-specific release tag (prefixed with `gemini-v`) to ensure Gemini CLI picks up the correct extension files. See [Releases](https://github.com/rilldata/rill/releases) for available versions.
+
+For the latest version, check the [releases page](https://github.com/rilldata/rill/releases) and use the most recent `gemini-v*` tag.
+
+Install Rill CLI if you haven't already:
+
+```bash
+curl https://rill.sh | sh
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+After installation, configure the extension with your Rill credentials. The extension will prompt you for the following information during setup:
+
+- **Organization**: Your Rill organization name
+- **Project**: Your Rill project name
+- **Access Token**: Your Rill access token
+
+To generate a Rill authentication token, run:
+
+```bash
+rill token issue --display-name "Gemini Extension"
+```
+
+> **Tip**: You can find your organization and project names in the Rill Cloud UI URL: `https://ui.rilldata.com/{organization}/{project}`
+
+The extension configuration is handled automatically through Gemini's settings interface - no manual environment file setup is required.
+
+## Development
+
+### Local Development
+
+To test changes locally:
+
+1. Make your changes to the extension files
+2. Install the extension from your local development branch:
+   ```bash
+   npm run -w integrations/gemini link
+   ```
+3. Test the extension in Gemini:
+   ```bash
+   npm run -w integrations/gemini unlink
+   ```
+
+### Releasing
+
+This extension is distributed through [GitHub Releases](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/about-releases)
