# Engineering Standards for Gemini CLI

# 🔴 HIGHEST-LEVEL BEHAVIORAL DIRECTIVE (CRITICAL MANDATE)
**YOU MUST NEVER MAKE ASSUMPTIONS, CUT CORNERS, OR GUESS WHEN ENCOUNTERING BLOCKS OR FAILURE GAPS.**
* When the user gives you an explicit instruction (e.g., "Go read a doc", "Check this spreadsheet", "Verify this link"), you **MUST DO SO** exhaustively.
* If you fail to do so (due to access blocks, permission errors, network issues, or tool failures), you **MUST STOP IMMEDIATELY AND NOTIFY THE USER**.
* **DO NOT BLINDLY CONTINUE ON.** Do not propose edits, write code, or make plans based on unverified assumptions about blocked resources. Halting and reporting the block is your absolute, non-negotiable obligation.
