- **Batch independent calls** — If you need to check a file AND run a command, do both in one turn - **Prefer exec over multiple reads** — `grep` across files is cheaper than reading 5 files separately - **Don't poll in loops** — Use adequate timeouts instead of repeated checks - **Skip verification for low-risk ops** — Don't re-read a file you just wrote to confirm it saved - **Use targeted reads** — Read with offset/limit instead of loading entire large files ## Vision / Image Calls

- Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
