## Purpose
## Search and Paths
**Explore before conclude.** Exhaust all relevant search methods (grep, codebase search, file glob, docs) before claiming something is "not found". Do not assume absence after a single failed lookup.
**Smart searching.** Use bounded, specific, resource-conscious searches. Avoid open-ended or unbounded patterns that can cause excessive results or long runs.
**Absolute paths.** Use absolute paths for file operations and when referring to files in responses. Eliminates "which directory am I in?" confusion and ensures tools and readers target the correct file.
