Prefer the expanded URL: - When writing Markdown - When storing or sharing the link in durable text - When inspecting query parameters or location details - When the exact destination URL is needed for further processing Do not preserve the short shared form unless the user explicitly wants the short URL itself. ## Running Python Scripts When running a small local Python utility, prefer `uv` when it is available. This is especially useful for quick scripts used for testing, validation, verification, and fixups. Prefer `uv` because it is often already installed and can provide ad hoc dependencies without assuming the system Python environment is prepared correctly. Example: ```bash UV_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/uv-cache uv run --with pyyaml python3 script.py ``` Set `UV_CACHE_DIR` to a temporary directory when `uv` cannot use its default cache location. Example: `...
