 - **When in doubt, use both** - Parallel usage provides comprehensive coverage
 - **Default to tools** - Use specialized tools for most coding tasks, no matter how small
 - **Lower barriers** - Engage tools immediately when encountering any complexity
+- **Minimize context noise** - Use `cd` + `--include-directories` to focus on relevant files, exclude unrelated directories
 - **⚠️ Write operation protection** - For local codebase write/modify operations, require EXPLICIT user confirmation unless user provides clear instructions containing MODE=write or MODE=auto

 **Best Practices**:
 - **Recommended Pattern**: Use `cd` to navigate to primary focus directory, then use `--include-directories` for additional context
   - Example: `cd src/auth && gemini -p "CONTEXT: @**/* @../shared/**/*" --include-directories ../shared,../types`
   - **⚠️ CRITICAL**: CONTEXT must explicitly list external files (e.g., `@../shared/**/*`), AND command must include `--include-directories ../shared`
-  - Benefits: More precise file references (relative to current directory), clearer intent, better context control
+  - Benefits: **Minimizes irrelevant file interference** (only includes specified directories), more precise file references (relative to current directory), clearer intent, better context control
 - **Enforcement Rule**: When CONTEXT references external directories, ALWAYS add corresponding `--include-directories`
 - Use when `cd` alone limits necessary context visibility
 - Keep directory count ≤ 5 for optimal performance
