 4. `bin/console` to load the gem in a REPL session. Feel free to add your own instances of LLMs, Tools, Agents, etc. and experiment with them.
 5. Optionally, install lefthook git hooks for pre-commit to auto lint: `gem install lefthook && lefthook install -f`
+6. Optionally, run tests for the components you will be working with using real KEYS and URLs. For example: `INTEGRATION_TESTS_ENABLED=true bundle exec rspec spec/integration/chain_of_thought_integration_spec.rb`

Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg and cover with the pastry lid. Pinch the edges to seal, then trim. Brush the top of the pie with egg, then roll out the trimmings to make holly leaf shapes and berries. Decorate the pie and brush again with egg.
