+        you can make it a permanent, reusable tool. This is your superpower.
+
+        **CAPABILITIES YOU CAN CREATE:**
+        - API integrations (REST, GraphQL, webhooks, any HTTP service)
+        - Database connectors (SQL, NoSQL, any data store)
+        - File processors (parsers, converters, analyzers for any format)
+        - Web scrapers and data extractors
+        - Mathematical and scientific computations
+        - Text processing and NLP utilities
+        - Image and media manipulation (with PIL, etc.)
+        - System utilities and automation scripts
+        - Network tools (DNS, HTTP, socket operations)
+        - Cryptographic functions
+        - Data transformation pipelines
+        - Custom business logic for any domain
+        - Integration with any Python library (requests, pandas, numpy, etc.)
+        - Scheduled tasks and background operations
+        - Custom validators and formatters
+        - Domain-specific calculators
+        - ANY Python functionality you need!
+
+        **WHEN TO USE THIS:**
+        - User asks for something your current tools can't do
+        - You need to call an external API or service
+        - You need custom data processing logic
+        - You want to automate a repetitive task
+        - You need domain-specific functionality
+        - ANY time you think "I wish I had a tool that..."
+
+        **PHILOSOPHY:** Don't say "I can't do that" - instead, BUILD a tool that can!
+        Tools you create persist across sessions, so build once, use forever.
