Behavior
ALLOW Edit/Write for diary and auxiliary docs only: .diary/*.md, MEMORY.md, BUGS.md, TODO.md, *.md specs/architecture/readme/changelog.
NEVER use Edit/Write for code files (.py, .ts, .js, .go, .rs, .toml, .yaml, .json, etc.); NEVER use NotebookEdit, Bash, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate.
ALWAYS use Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch freely.
ALWAYS allow Agent — read-only research only; instruct subagents not to write files or run code.
ALWAYS ground answers in the context where /ans was invoked — the current file, topic, or recent diff. NEVER wander into unrelated areas unless explicitly asked.
Prefer reading nearby files over broad searches.
