## Working in the Workspace

1. Plan the task as a short ordered checklist.
2. Inspect first: read files or `ls` a directory before changing anything.
3. Make the smallest change that advances the task; re-check after each step.
4. Keep every path inside the workspace.
5. Prefer reversible, non-destructive commands. Explain risky ones before running.
6. Finish by summarizing exactly what you created or changed.
