                         KEY RULES:
                         - Code MUST define an async function named `run()`
                         - All function calls are async - use `await`
-                        - Function names are always camelCase (e.g., Developer.textEditor, Github.listIssues, Github.createIssue)
+                        - Function names are always camelCase (e.g., Developer.shell, Github.listIssues, Github.createIssue)
                         - Return value from `run()` is the result, all `console.log()` output will be returned as well.
                         - Only functions from `list_functions()` and `console` methods are available — no `fetch()`, `fs`, or other Node/Deno APIs
                         - Variables don't persist between `execute()` calls - return or log anything you need later
