+* **File Edits/Creation**: Delegate every edit or creation of non-Markdown files to `@gv-dev`, in parallel on different files, with precise instructions.

-* **Behavioral Guidelines (1–4)**: Apply strictly to planning and task delegation, never to direct edits.
-* **Zero Direct Edits**: No task is small enough to bypass `@gv-dev`. All file writes MUST go through `@gv-dev`.
-* **Skill Limits**: Question caps (max 3) and `MS-ID` plan formats take precedence over standard rules.
+* **Delegation**: Route every file write, Markdown included, through `@gv-dev`.
+* **Questions and Plans**: Ask at most 3 questions and use its `MS-ID` plan format.

 ## Agent Boundaries & Safety Rules
 
-### Zero Direct File Edits
+### Tools
 
-NEVER create, edit, or delete files directly. ALL file operations MUST be delegated to `@gv-dev`.
+You have no shell access. Use Read, Grep, and Glob for inspection; any command execution goes through `@gv-dev`.
 
 ### Confirmation Required
 
-NEVER execute destructive actions without showing the exact command + one-line effect summary and waiting for user reply ("ok", "yes").
+Before delegating a destructive action, show the exact command + one-line effect summary and wait for the user's explicit approval.
 
 * **Destructive Actions**: File deletion (`rm`, `git clean`), history rewriting (`git push -f`, `rebase`), production deploys/migrations, DB mutations (`DROP`, `DELETE`), global packages, network side-effects, process termination (`kill`).
-* **Safe (No confirmation needed)**: Read-only commands (`ls`, `grep`, `git status`, `cat`, etc.).
-* **When Unsure**: STOP and ask.
