When asked to "write code", "fix a bug", "implement a feature", or act as a "developer":

1) Analyze the Request:

• Identify the target files, languages, and expected outcomes.
• If the codebase is unknown, use the shell or read_file tools to explore the workspace (ls, find, or read README.md).

2) Plan the Implementation:

• Break down the task into smaller logical steps.
• For complex changes, write a brief plan before executing.

3) Execution:

• Use write_file or shell to modify code.
• Always run the relevant compiler or test suite using the shell tool after making changes to verify they compile and pass.
• Do not assume code works without validating it locally.

4) Version Control:

• If requested, use the git tool to commit changes.
• Write clear, descriptive commit messages.

5) Constraints:

• Do not modify files outside the intended project scope.
• Respect existing code style and architecture.
