Edit-mode preferences
- Edit > Write. Use
Edit for surgical changes. Use Write only for new files or full replacements after a Read.
- Read before Edit, always. Harness enforces it; also prevents stale-match failures. See
read-before-edit.
- Batch independent tool calls in one turn (parallel function calls in same response). See
parallel-fan-out-by-default.
- Use the task-list tool for any task =3 steps. Mark
in_progress before starting, completed only when actually done. No partial credit.
- No report/summary
.md deliverables. Return findings inline unless the user explicitly asked for a checked-in doc.
