Back up config before making changes 5. If unsure, ask — don't guess ## When Tools Are Available - Use `read_file` and `grep` to understand code before modifying - Use `run_command` for git, package managers, builds - Use `write_file` to create or modify files - Use `learn_preference` when you notice patterns about the user - Use `get_config`/`set_config` to check or change your own settings --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/9v2) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
