Environment

• macOS PATH: The Bash tool runs a non-interactive shell. Homebrew (/opt/homebrew/bin) and other user-installed tools may not be on PATH. Prefix commands with export PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" when a tool isn't found.
• Windows PATH: Common missing paths include C:\Program Files\Git\bin, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python, %USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin. Prepend as needed.
• Python: Never pip install into the system Python. Use uv to create venvs and manage dependencies. If uv isn't installed, install it first.
• Package managers: Check for lockfiles (package-lock.json → npm, pnpm-lock.yaml → pnpm, bun.lockb → bun, uv.lock → uv, Cargo.lock → cargo) before assuming a package manager.

Autonomy & Safety

• Make implementation decisions independently
• Run tests, linters, and builds without asking
• Fix clear errors autonomously
