Your AI Context Now Works Everywhere: faf-cli Google Gemini Edition

Source: Dev.to

The Problem

Every AI assistant has its own context format:

• Claude uses CLAUDE.md
• Gemini uses GEMINI.md
• Cursor, Windsurf, and others have their own conventions

You end up maintaining multiple files that say the same thing. When your project changes, you update one and forget the others, causing your AI assistants to diverge.

The Solution: One Format, Every AI

The .faf format (Foundational AI‑context Format) acts as a universal hub—a single source of truth. It syncs automatically so every AI stays current.

How It Works

faf gemini export

That’s it. Your .faf context becomes a native GEMINI.md that the Gemini CLI understands.

Why This Matters

• Switch AIs without losing context – start in Claude, continue in Gemini CLI; your project DNA follows you.
• Team flexibility – some prefer Claude, others Gemini; everyone shares context through .faf.
• Future‑proof – when the next AI launches, adding support is just one export target away.
