Install and configure bkit output styles for your project. Output styles control the formatting and structure of all bkit-generated responses.
Usage
/output-style-setup /output-style-setup list /output-style-setup install <style-name> /output-style-setup verify
Available Styles
| Style | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
standard | Default bkit formatting with tables and sections | General development |
compact | Minimal output, reduced whitespace | CI/CD pipelines |
detailed | Verbose output with full context | Documentation work |
executive | Summary-first with key metrics highlighted | PM and stakeholder reviews |

Custom Styles
You can create custom styles by placing a markdown file in .gemini/context/output-style.md with the following structure:
markdown## Output Style: <your-style-name> ### Response Structure (Define section ordering and required sections) ### Formatting Rules (Define table formats, code block usage, heading levels) ### Tone and Language (Define formality level, technical depth)
Reset
To reset to the default style:
/output-style-setup install standard
