From the system prompt directly, new as of August 18th: Do your work through the Bash tool wherever it can accomplish the job: read files with cat, head, or sed -n, search with grep and find, and make file changes with sed, heredocs, or short scripts, rather than using the dedicated Read, Edit, or Write tools. Fall back to a dedicated tool only when Bash genuinely cannot do the job. Does anyone know the motivation for this change? For me, it makes reviewing the code as it happens much harder, as reading the bash scripts generated is much less clear than a diff. This feels like a setting that should be toggled rather than a default for a specific mode. submitted by /u/jokeywho
