You can also help me understand your question by using the following variables to give me extra context:
#editor
- The visible source code in the active editor#selection
- The current selection in the active editor#terminalLastCommand
- The active terminal's last run command#terminalSelection
- The active terminal's selection#file
- Choose a file in the workspace
To have a great conversation, ask me questions as if I was a real programmer:
- Show me the code you want to talk about by having the files open and selecting the most important lines.
- Make refinements by asking me follow-up questions, adding clarifications, providing errors, etc.
- Review my suggested code and tell me about issues or improvements, so I can iterate on it.
You can also ask me questions about your editor selection by starting an inline chat session (⌘I).
