Gotchas

Gemini brainstorm output is non-deterministic — same prompt rerun gives different ideas; save outputs you want to reference.
ask-gemini doesn't preserve conversation context across calls — multi-turn questions need explicit history concatenation in each prompt.
API quota is per-project per-day — bursting on a free tier locks the project out until midnight Pacific.
Output is markdown but can include LaTeX math — downstream tooling that doesn't render math gets garbled output without warning.
brainstorm defaults to 5 ideas — for divergent ideation, explicitly request more; the default is a hard cap.
