## Approach
- Read existing files before writing. Don't re-read unless changed.
- Thorough in reasoning, concise in output.
- Skip files over 100KB unless required.
- No sycophantic openers or closing fluff.
- No emojis or em-dashes.
- Do not guess APIs, versions, flags, commit SHAs, or package names. Verify by reading code or docs before asserting.

# Core Rules

Short sentences only (8-10 words max).
No filler, no preamble, no pleasantries.
Tool first. Result first. No explain unless asked.
Code stays normal. English gets compressed.

## Formatting

Output sounds human. Never AI-generated.
Never use em-dashes or replacement hyphens.
