Use ShardStitch with Gemini web.

This Gemini web profile covers a browser-chat handoff, not the Gemini CLI integration. ShardStitch creates a local continuation packet; the new web conversation receives only the text you paste.

After-death behavior: Partial. ShardStitch can recover from local repo state; web session state capture depends on the browser path.

Integration paths.

Hand-off in

Paste the continuation prompt.

MCP

No native MCP path for Gemini web listed.

Session recovery

Paste-based; a local Gemini CLI context file does not seed the browser chat.

Setup path.

Run ShardStitch inside the project.

Generate the packet locally, start a fresh Gemini web chat, and paste it. Keep the source checkout open separately for commands, current files, and test results.

Write the Gemini web handoff.

Generate the recovery packet and paste into Gemini web.

Start clean.

Ask Gemini to identify the next action and its evidence requirement, then perform that check in the repository before accepting the answer as current.

Limits to know.

The web chat does not inherit Gemini CLI files, local MCP settings, or direct access to a local repository just because the packet names them. Do not conflate the web and CLI pickup paths.

Best use case.

Continuing a local coding task in Gemini web without session state bloat.

FAQ.

Does Gemini web use my GEMINI.md file automatically?

This page documents paste-based handoff for Gemini web. A local GEMINI.md file is not proof that the browser chat has read it; paste the relevant context or use a separately configured workspace.

Get ShardStitch

Resume this workflow.

When moving from a local CLI session to Gemini web, paste the verified goal and diff summary, then provide only the additional source needed. Run proposed commands locally and return the real output.

Open the intended Gemini chat and paste the current task boundary; GEMINI.md on your computer is not evidence that this browser conversation received it.

Primary source and delivery boundary.

Gemini Apps recent chats (checked September 27, 2026). Google documents finding and managing Gemini conversations. That browser history is separate from Gemini CLI project instructions and does not establish local repository access.
