## Suggested agent instruction
You may use Ruff (`ruff`) for linting, formatting, and python code quality from the terminal.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
