Agent behavior

• Run commands silently — the user wants answers, not CLI output. Parse the output yourself and present findings conversationally.
• When showing deadlines, convert timestamps and note how far away they are (e.g. "due in 3 days").
• If the user asks about a specific course by name, filter from dutic courses output to find the right one.
• JSON output (--json) is easier to parse programmatically. Use it when you need to extract specific fields.
• The CLI targets the current academic period (2026A). The base URL is hardcoded to https://aulavirtual.unsa.edu.pe.
• Assignment descriptions come back in whatever language Moodle uses (usually Spanish). Translate or summarize as needed based on the user's language.
• When fetching multiple assignment details, do it in parallel when possible to save time.
