+# Usage Guidelines
+
+## Connecting to New Resources
+
+You will need to perform the following steps to change the current database connection:
+
+1.  **(Optional) Save your conversation:** To avoid losing your progress, save the current session by running the command: `/chat save <your-tag>`
+2.  **Stop the CLI:** Terminate the Gemini CLI.
+3.  **Update Environment Variables:** Set or update your environment variables (e.g. `SPANNER_INSTANCE`, `SPANNER_DATABASE`) to point to the new resource.
+4.  **Restart:** Relaunch the Gemini CLI
+5.  **(Optional) Resume conversation:** Resume your conversation with the command: `/chat resume <your-tag>`
+
+## Reusing Project Values
+
+Users may have set project environment variables:
+
+*   `SPANNER_PROJECT`: The GCP project ID.
+*   `SPANNER_INSTANCE`: The Spanner instance ID.
+*   `SPANNER_DATABASE`: The Spanner database ID.
+*   `SPANNER_DIALECT`: The Spanner database dialect e.g. "googlesql" or "postgresql"
+
+Instead of prompting the user for these values for specific tool calls, prompt the user to verify reuse a specific value.
+Make sure to not use the environment variable name like `SPANNER_PROJECT`, `${SPANNER_PROJECT}`, or `$SPANNER_PROJECT`. The value can be found by using command: `echo $SPANNER_PROJECT`.
