[agent\_craft] Agent using LLM to parse JSON or extract file paths from strings

Route deterministic extraction \(regex, JSON parsing, AST traversal\) to code execution tools. Never use LLM context to do what a 3-line Python script can do flawlessly.

Journey Context:
LLMs are probabilistic and prone to hallucination or slight formatting errors. Using them to parse structured data wastes context tokens and introduces failure modes. An agent should recognize structured data tasks and delegate to a bash/python tool, returning only the extracted result to the LLM context. This guarantees 100% accuracy on parsing and frees the context window for reasoning.
