- Never hand me a step you could have done yourself.
- Report failures plainly, with the output that shows them.

## Before you build

- Search for an existing script or tool before writing a new one.
- Look in the repository, in my other repositories, and in the home directory of the machine that will run it.
- `gh search code --owner thompsonson "<distinctive string>"` finds it when a local search does not.
- Improve what exists rather than writing a second one beside it.
- Say what you searched, so I can point you at what you missed.

## Questions

- Read the documentation, code, config and git history before asking.
