2. Activate the coach by renaming the skill file:

```bash
mv SKILL.md GEMINI.md

This new Gemini setup introduces GEMINI.md as an alternative activation filename, but later in the README “Repository Structure” still says to rename SKILL.md to CLAUDE.md to activate. Consider updating that later section to reflect all supported activation filenames so the documentation doesn’t contradict itself.

Step 4 references settings.json generically, but after renaming .claude to .gemini the file path would be .gemini/settings.json (not a root-level settings.json). Also, these are permission values in the allow array rather than “permission keys” — consider adjusting wording to avoid confusion.

The fenced code block for step 3 isn’t separated/indented under the numbered list item, which can break list formatting in GitHub/CommonMark. Add a blank line before the fence and indent the fenced block so it’s clearly nested under item 3.

Suggested change
```bash
mv .claude .gemini
```

"permissions": {

5. Open the folder in Gemini CLI and say `kickoff`.

For both options, the coach will ask for your resume, target role, and timeline — then build your profile, assess your starting point, and give you a prioritized action plan. Everything saves automatically to `coaching_state.md` so you pick up where you left off next session.

The paragraph after the options still says “For both options”, but there are now three setup options (Claude, Codex, Gemini). Update this phrasing to “For all options” (or similar) so the README stays consistent.
