Add the ability to have model specific goosehints and system prompts
Please explain the motivation behind the feature request. Some models do quirky things that need to be worked around, like Gemini 2.5-pro for example. To work around the fact that it loves to add comments to explain things to talk to me that don't actually add value, I would love to add some goosehints specific to gemini. When I swap over to claude, I don't need to dirty up the context window with this hint however.
Describe the solution you'd like A simple way to have a global hint file for gemini (or per model), perhaps configured by environment variable or in the UI?
Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively, a per model configureable system prompt would be an interesting concept
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Idea spawned from gemini-code's system prompt which has some really helpful info to add in to goose https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/0915bf7d677504c28b079693a0fe1c853adc456e/packages/core/src/core/prompts.ts#L48
- [x] I have verified this does not duplicate an existing feature request
aichat allow config multiple clients, in each client, you can have a different configuration for that client.
If goose support this, it can easily config a .goosehint file location for one client.

@simonsickle I would go further - in the config we could have the model config point to a specific system prompt (I think that may be better than hints - I would leave the hints as they are) and that can help steer things - WDYT? di dyou want to have a go at a PR to this?
Looks like we already support system prompts per model 😅 easiest ticket ever.
