Summary of Changes
Hello @chrstnb, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request updates the extension.md documentation to reflect significant changes in how Gemini CLI extensions are managed and created. It introduces new command-line tools for installing, uninstalling, enabling, disabling, and updating extensions, as well as commands to assist with extension development. Concurrently, it removes outdated information regarding workspace-level extension support, streamlining the documentation to align with the current extension loading mechanism.
Highlights
- Extension Management Commands: Detailed documentation for new gemini extensions commands including install, uninstall, disable, enable, and update.
- Extension Creation Tools: New documentation for gemini extensions new to create boilerplate extensions and gemini extensions link for local development.
- Removal of Workspace-Level Extensions: Updated documentation to remove references to workspace-level extension loading, simplifying the extension discovery process to only the home directory.
- Documentation Clarity and Structure: Improved clarity for the name field in gemini-extension.json and restructured sections like "Extension Commands" to "Custom Commands".

Code Review
This pull request provides a much-needed update to the extension documentation, reflecting the new extension management commands and the removal of workspace-level extensions. The new documentation is comprehensive and well-structured. I've found one minor but important typo in a command example that should be fixed to avoid confusion for users.

I made some minor notes - but they are very minor vs being blockers.
