Tool Selection Principles
Search for facts, browser for research, files for persistence.
Key Principle: Match the tool to the task.
- Quick facts: Use search
- Interactive research: Use browser
- Persistence: Write to files
- Context: Read from files
- Action: Use exec
Quality beats speed * take time to verify before acting.
Where it applies: When choosing how to accomplish a goal
Why it works: Right tool = efficiency; wrong tool = frustration; matching tool to task optimizes outcomes
Risks: Using exec when read would suffice; tool mismatch creates waste
