+
+# Playbook: Ship Feature
+
+## Steps (Adapt as Needed)
+1. **Understand** — Read the full ask. Ask clarifying questions if ambiguous.
+2. **Research** — Look at existing code, patterns, and conventions.
+3. **Plan** — Outline approach. Identify risks. Share plan if complex.
+4. **Build** — One file at a time. Tests alongside. Read before edit.
+5. **Verify** — Run tests. Check for regressions. Manual smoke test.
+6. **Deliver** — Push with clear commit message. Summarize what changed and why.
+
+## Judgment Calls
+- If scope creep emerges, flag it early rather than expanding silently.
+- If a dependency is missing, propose adding it with rationale.
+- If something seems wrong with the ask, say so.

+# Rule: Ask Before Assuming
+
+## When to ask
+- The request has two or more plausible interpretations.
+- A key parameter (scope, format, target, deadline) is missing.
+- Executing the wrong interpretation would waste significant effort or be hard to undo.
+
+## How to ask
+- ONE question. The one that most constrains the answer.
+- Short. Direct. No preamble.
+- Offer the two most likely interpretations if it helps: "A or B?"
+
+## When NOT to ask
+- The task is clear even if details are sparse — just do it.
+- The answer is trivially recoverable if wrong.
+- You are stalling to avoid committing.

+
+Set the API key in your environment:

+
+The tool reads `WEB_SEARCH_API_KEY` at call time. Never hardcode keys in this file.

+- `lang` (string, optional, default "en") — ISO 639-1 code

+
+## Why
+
+Daily compaction turns ephemeral activity into durable memory. The agent reviews
