Tool Usage Guide

Generates instruction text that teaches agents how to use filesystem tools
effectively. Modeled after Claude Code's system prompt approach:
- Read before Edit (mandatory)
- Glob to find, Read to understand, Edit to modify
- Uniqueness discipline for surgical edits
- Verification after changes

Inject this into agent instructions when the agent has access to
edit/write tools. Without this guidance, agents will attempt to
regenerate entire files instead of making targeted edits.
