Richard Feldman 3a8fe4d973 Add reminder message about system prompt (#28344)
Trying out sending the model a reminder message about code blocks in the
system prompt. If this seems to work well, we can include more specific
reminder messages, e.g. tool-specific ones.

Joseph T. Lyons 763cc6dba3 Tell the model not to act on TODO type comments (#28358)
Release Notes:

- Adjusted system prompt to direct it to never act on TODO-type comments
it encounters, unless the user directly asked it to do so or they relate
to the current task at hand.

Release Notes:

removal.

- Adjusted the system prompt to avoid incomplete code generation.

Richard Feldman ac9e2f30bb Try to improve behavior when agent is stuck (#28169)
Currently, it's pretty common that when the agent gets stuck, it deletes
whatever it's stuck on and replaces it with a TODO comment, then
cheerfully reports that it has "simpified" the implementation. This is
worse than leaving the broken code, because at least a human could take
over and try to get it across the finish line.

This system prompt adjustment attempts to make the agent do something
more useful when in this situation: report that it's stuck, explain why
it's stuck, and ask the user what to do.

Update `suggest_edits` prompt to clarify usage of `<old_text>` when
using update/create operations using update/create operations.

- Add a mention that `old_text` is required for all but create.
- Change definition of `create` operation to also mean overwrite, as
some models heavily prefer rewrites.
- Remove mention of `If this tag is not specified, then the entire file
will be used as the range.` which is not current behavior.

Nathan Sobo 07d5e22cbe Revert changes to inline assist indentation logic and prompt (#16403)
This PR reverts #16145 and subsequent changes.

This reverts commit a515442a36.

We still have issues with our approach to indentation in Python
unfortunately, but this feels like a safer equilibrium than where we
were.

Release Notes:

- Returned to our previous prompt for inline assist transformations,
since recent changes were introducing issues.

Nathan Sobo ad44b459cd Improve content generation prompt to reduce over-generation (#16333)
I focused on cases where we're inserting doc comments or annotations
above symbols.

I added 5 new examples to the content generation prompt, covering
various scenarios:

1. Inserting documentation for a Rust struct
2. Writing docstrings for a Python class
3. Adding comments to a TypeScript method
4. Adding a derive attribute to a Rust struct
5. Adding a decorator to a Python class

These examples demonstrate how to handle different languages and common
tasks like adding documentation, attributes, and decorators.

To improve context integration, I've made the following changes:

1. Added a `transform_context_range` that includes 3 lines before and
after the transform range
2. Introduced `rewrite_section_prefix` and `rewrite_section_suffix` to
provide more context around the section being rewritten
3. Updated the prompt template to include this additional context in a
separate code snippet

Release Notes:

- Reduced instances of over-generation when inserting docs or
annotations above a symbol.

jvmncs c3edbd7d9a Simplify inline assist to avoid spurious xml in completions (#16184)
Some prompt changes to highlight:
- Removes `<rewrite_section>` rendering, preferring to just show
`<rewrite_section_with_selections>`
- Concise, terse instructions throughout

I'd like to have experimented with prefilling the assistant response,
but I don't think OpenAI allows for that and wouldn't want to break
compatibility with gpt-4 et al.

Nathan SoboandMikayla a515442a36 Rely on model to determine indentation level and always rewrite the full line (#16145)
This PR simplifies our approach to indentation in the inline assistant
in hopes of improving our experience for Python. We tell the model to
generate the correct indentation in the prompt, and always start
generating at the start of the line. This may fall down for less capable
models, but I want to get a solid experience on the best models and then
figure the rest out later.

Also: We now prefer `./assets/prompts` as an overrides directory when
stdout is a PTY, so you can do `cargo run` and then iterate prompts for
the current run inside the current working copy.

cc @trishume @dsp-ant 

Release Notes:

- Zed now allows the model to control indentation when performing inline
transformation. We're hoping this improves the indentation experience in
Python and other indentation-sensitive languages, but it does require
more from the model.

Nathan SoboandJason da8d1306af Open workflow step editors as preview tabs (#15928)
This PR opens workflow step editors as preview tabs and closes them upon
exiting the step if they are still in preview mode and they weren't
already open before entering the step.

Making this work was tricky, because we often edit the buffer as part of
displaying the workflow step suggestions to create empty lines where we
can generate. We undo these edits if the transformation is not applied,
but they were causing the preview to be dismissed.

After trying a few approaches, I decided to give workspace `Item`s a
`preserve_preview` method that defaults to false. When the workspace
sees an edit event for the item, it checks if the item wants to preserve
its preview. For buffers, after editing, you can call `refresh_preview`,
which sets a preview version to the current version of the buffer. Any
edits after this version will cause preview to not be preserved.

One final issue is with async auto-indent. To ensure these async edits
don't dismiss the preview, I automatically refresh the preview version
if preview was preserved prior to performing the auto-indent. The
assumption is that these are edits created by other edits, and if we
didn't want to dismiss the preview with the originating edits, then the
auto-indent edits shouldn't dismiss it either.

Release Notes:

- Templates for prompts driving inline transformation in editors and the
terminal can now be overridden in the `~/.config/zed/prompts/templates`
directory. This is an advanced feature, and prevents you from getting
upstream changes. It's intended for use by Zed developers.
