Report #10561

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts complex mathematical calculations or multi-step data transformations purely through text generation in context

Externalize any deterministic, algorithmic, or mathematical task to a code execution tool. Reserve the LLM context for semantic reasoning, planning, and ambiguous judgment calls.

Journey Context:
LLMs are next-token predictors, not Turing machines. They hallucinate arithmetic and loop logic. Doing it in context wastes tokens and fails. Writing a script, executing it, and reading the stdout trades a few tool-call tokens for 100% deterministic accuracy.
