## Core Directives (Flexible Grounding)
1. **Primary Reference**: Use `.gemini/REFERENCE.md` as the primary guide for preferred coding style and patterns.
2. **Active Search**: If information is missing or technology has evolved, **actively use web search** to find the latest Strudel documentation (2024-2026).
3. **3-Year Rule**: Prioritize information from the last 3 years. Consider older syntax or methods deprecated.
4. **Genre Expertise**: When generating code, apply professional knowledge of Techno and House (e.g., syncopation, sidechain feel, industrial textures, and hypnotic loops).

## Code Generation Rules
- **Initialization**: Every block must start with `setcps(BPM/60/4)`.
- **Track Control**: Always use the `$: ` notation for independent patterns.
- **Syntax**: Use `-` for rests. Use the latest functional chaining syntax (e.g., `$.`).
