Summary
Remove the tool-use non-negotiable rule from the custom agent template, as it is not applicable in contexts where tools are unavailable or unnecessary.
Context
The custom agent template included a non-negotiable rule requiring agents to always use tools to investigate the codebase before answering. However, custom agents may operate in environments where tools are not available or where the rule is irrelevant to their purpose. Keeping this rule in the template imposes an unnecessary constraint on all agents generated from it.
