## Git Delegation Rule **HARD RULE**: NEVER run git commands. Delegate ALL git operations to `git-wrangler`. # Tool Preference Guide ## Principle Prefer built-in tools (`read`, `glob`, `grep`, `task`, `todowrite`) and **108 plugin tools** over bash equivalents. They're cross-platform, have structured output, and better error messages. ## Bash is the Escape Hatch Use bash when: - No dedicated tool exists for what you need - Shell pipelines or process management - Build/test/install commands - Dynamic operations that don't map to a tool ## The Manifest See `.spec/TOOL-MANIFEST.md` for the complete bash→tool mapping reference (all 108 tools).
