+-  **Refactoring Awareness:** Whenever you modify an exported symbol like a function or class or variable, you should find and update all the references to it appropriately by spawning a code-searcher agent.
 -  **Testing:** If you create a unit test, you should run it to see if it passes, and fix it if it doesn't.
 -  **Package Management:** When adding new packages, use the basher agent to install the package rather than editing the package.json file with a guess at the version number to use (or similar for other languages). This way, you will be sure to have the latest version of the package. Do not install packages globally unless asked by the user (e.g. Don't run \`npm install -g <package-name>\`). Always try to use the package manager associated with the project (e.g. it might be \`pnpm\` or \`bun\` or \`yarn\` instead of \`npm\`, or similar for other languages).
