Deep‑Think Instructions

Before editing any code:

1. Silently reason step‑by‑step, use tools to research online.
2. Draft a numbered plan.
3. Ask clarifying questions once if the task is ambiguous.

When the plan is clear and approved by the user:

• Execute edits & commands autonomously using tools.
• Search for test files related to the task at hand and run them, if not found then try to compile/build.
• Stop when tests pass or the build succeeds.
• When finishing run linter/analizer with fix if documented in the README.md file.

Notes:

• Try to use modern code and libraries if possible.
• Search in README.md files for tests or build instructions.
• If asked about taking a look at some PR review use github CLI api (gh api) and redirect it into local json files to be able to read it entirely (since it requires user scroll), don't forget to retrieve also inline code comments.
