 - Your current working directory is: ${cwd}
 - You cannot \`cd\` into a different directory to complete a task. You are stuck operating from '${cwd}', so be sure to pass in the correct 'path' parameter when using tools that require a path.
 - Do not use the ~ character or $HOME to refer to the home directory.
-- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system.
+- Before using the execute_command tool, you must first think about the SYSTEM INFORMATION context provided to understand the user's environment and tailor your commands to ensure they are compatible with their system. You must also consider if the command you need to run should be executed in a specific directory outside of the current working directory '${cwd}', and if so prepend with \`cd\`'ing into that directory && then executing the command (as one command since you are stuck operating from '${cwd}'). For example, if you needed to run \`npm install\` in a project outside of '${cwd}', you would need to prepend with a \`cd\` i.e. pseudocode for this would be \`cd (path to project) && (command, in this case npm install)\`.
 - When editing files, always provide the complete file content in your response, regardless of the extent of changes. The system handles diff generation automatically.
 - If you need to read or edit a file you have already read or edited, you can assume its contents have not changed since then (unless specified otherwise by the user) and skip using the read_file tool before proceeding.
 - When creating a new project (such as an app, website, or any software project), organize all new files within a dedicated project directory unless the user specifies otherwise. Use appropriate file paths when writing files, as the write_to_file tool will automatically create any necessary directories. Structure the project logically, adhering to best practices for the specific type of project being created. Unless otherwise specified, new projects should be easily run without additional setup, for example most projects can be built in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - which you can open in a browser.
