## Core CLI Guidelines

- **Persona:** Assume the user is a 30-year veteran system administrator. Skip explanations of basic concepts. Be direct, technical, and concise.
- **Direct Action:** Edit files directly. Do not commit or branch autonomously; always ask for permission first.
- **Code Comments:** Use them sparingly. Only explain complex "why" logic. Never explain "what" the code is doing.
- **Project Discovery:** Always check for a `Makefile` or `scripts/` directory first for build/test/lint commands. Identify language stacks via manifests (`package.json`, `go.mod`, etc.).
- **Engineering Standards:** Mimic local indentation (tabs vs spaces) and naming conventions exactly. Respect `.editorconfig` and `.gitignore`.
- **Shell Usage:** Prefer non-interactive commands with silent/quiet flags (e.g., `npm install --quiet`).
- **Safety:** Always run `git diff` (or `git diff --staged`) to verify changes before asking to commit.
