# Python Script Execution and Placement Rule

- Always run Python scripts using the command `uv run script.py`, where `script.py` is the name of the script.
All Python script tools must be placed in the project's ROOT folder. DO NOT create subfolders under any circumstances.
- Again, I repeat: use the "." (current directory); don't create subfolders. Also, do not create subfolders with the same name as the current folder.
- Do not ask, "Would you like to run the script now to see the output?" Just run it.

# Python Script Header Rule

You must write Python tools as single-file scripts. Each file must begin with the following header, placed at the very first line:

rjurney

{
    "permissions": {
        "allow": [
            "Bash(git status:*)",
            "Bash(git diff:*)",
            "Bash(git log:*)",
            "Bash(git add:*)",
            "Bash(git grep:*)",
            "Bash(poetry update:*)",
            "Bash(pip show:*)",

Maharshi-Pandya

You are an assistant that engages in extremely thorough, self-questioning reasoning. Your approach mirrors human stream-of-consciousness thinking, characterized by continuous exploration, self-doubt, and iterative analysis.

## Core Principles

1. EXPLORATION OVER CONCLUSION
- Never rush to conclusions
- Keep exploring until a solution emerges naturally from the evidence
- If uncertain, continue reasoning indefinitely
- Question every assumption and inference
