Gemini (without API key) with ICM - Help needed

Hello smart people of the internet,

Previously I asked about how you might use ICM without using Claude. There were some awesome answers, particularly about some closed/narrow options like copilot.

I'm looking to utilize Gemini in the same manner where I can build/share a templated system with other people within the team. We are using the "walled garden" personal Gemini (pro license) which means that it's not easy to use outside of the Gemini . google .com portal. Access to API keys are off the table (thanks IT) so I cant use a limited free tier.

So far I've tried

using Gemini code assistant via VS Code - I can connect, however it seems to immediately forget the instructions and constantly wants me to attach a MD file manually (and only one seems to be able to be added).
Use Gemini "Gem" which is kind of ok, but we're then looking at the near perfected product to then share. A gem allows context window to prefilled and up to 10 documents to be attached. It won't write back to itself so you will have to constant update it manually.

Thanks for anyone providing suggestions or actual guides on how this might be achieved. Ideal outcome is not manually updating files.
