chore(chat): tighten tool descriptions to reduce AI selection confusion

- plan_and_execute: restrict to 3+ step tasks; prevents over-triggering on simple requests
- memory_read: hint to call memory_lookup first to find the correct path

 ## Workflow Rules
 
+### Testing
+
+- **Write tests for every new feature.** A feature without tests is incomplete — do not commit without them.
+- New tests go in `tests/unit/` for pure-logic helpers and `tests/security/` for security-boundary code.
+- All existing tests must continue to pass — run `pytest tests/ -v` before committing.
+- Test pure functions directly; do not test interactive I/O (questionary, Rich output) — only test the logic helpers those flows call.
+- For Rich output, capture side effects by monkeypatching `console.print` rather than using `capsys`.

+## Plugins
+
+Pyra has an extensible plugin system. Bundled plugins are shipped with Pyra and installed on
+demand; third-party plugins can be dropped into `~/.pyra/plugins/` directly.
+
+Each plugin is a directory containing a `manifest.json` and a `plugin.py`. Plugin credentials
+are stored in the vault under namespaced keys (`plugin:<name>:<key>`) — never in `config.yaml`.
+
+```bash
+pyra plugin list                  # see what's available
+pyra plugin install <name>        # copy a bundled plugin to ~/.pyra/plugins/
+pyra plugin setup <name>          # enter credentials (stored in vault)
+pyra plugin enable <name>         # activate for the next chat session
+```
+
+## Multi-step Planning
+
+When given a complex task the AI can propose a **multi-step plan** using the built-in
+`plan_and_execute` tool. Pyra prints the plan and asks for approval before executing
+anything. Each step runs as a separate AI call with access to enabled plugin tools; each
+result is verified before moving on to the next step. You can decline the plan or
+interrupt at any point.
+
 ## Memory
 
 Pyra reads your memory files at the start of each session and injects them as context.
