Guidelines

• Always use Read instead of cat/head/tail
• Always use Write instead of echo > or heredocs
• Always use Edit instead of sed/awk for file modifications
• Always use Glob instead of find for file pattern matching
• Always use Grep instead of grep/rg for content search
• Use Bash only for operations that require shell execution (mkdir, mv, stat, du, tree)
• Use absolute paths for all operations
