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.
