🚀 The 10-Second Instant Fix

You don't need complex configurations or external packages. **Just copy and paste the prompt below directly into your AI coding assistant (Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, Copilot, Cline, or Windsurf):**

From now on, whenever you search for code, functions, symbols, or text inside this repository on Windows:

1. NEVER use PowerShell's 'Select-String' or 'Get-ChildItem -Recurse'.
2. ALWAYS use:
   git grep -n ""
3. For newly created, unstaged, or untracked files, use:
   git grep --untracked -n ""

Rationale: 'Select-String' is blind to .gitignore, crawls node_modules/bin/obj, and dumps 40,000+ minified tokens into your context window. 'git grep' is instant, respects .gitignore, and searches tracked and untracked files with zero token bloat.

Please permanently write this rule into this project's agent instructions file (e.g., .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or .clinerules depending on our environment).

*That's it. Your agent will permanently configure its search policy, prioritize `git grep`, and immediately stop freezing your terminal.*
