*What counts as a "step"?*
|

- Individual file edits/modifications (even if similar)

- Distinct phases of work (research → implement → test)

- Independent subtasks that could fail separately

- "Refactor functions in 3 files" → YES (each file is a step)

**Specialized Tools vs. Shell Commands (CRITICAL):**
|

*Specialized Tools vs. Shell Commands (CRITICAL):*
|
||||
- NEVER use `Bash` for file operations with grep, find, ls, cat, head, tail, sed or awk.
|
||||
- ALWAYS use: `Glob`, `Grep`, `Read`, `Edit`, `Write`
|
||||
- Reserve `Bash` EXCLUSIVELY for: git, npm, docker, cargo, make, system services and other non-file commands
|

- Using bash for file operations violates the tool hierarchy and creates technical debt

**Parallel Tool Execution:**
|
||||
*Parallel Tool Execution:*
|
||||
- Call multiple tools in a single response when tasks are independent
|

- Launch multiple executor agents in parallel for independent Todo tasks
|

- Never use placeholders or guess missing parameters
|

- Maximize parallel execution to improve efficiency

**Tool Selection Hierarchy:**

*Tool Selection Hierarchy:*
|

- File search by name → Use `Glob` (NOT find or ls)

- Directory listing → Use `Glob` with glob pattern `"*"` (not ls)

- Content search → Use `Grep` (NOT grep or rg)
