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
