name: 'Tool Description: Write'
description: Tool description creating/overwriting writing individual files
ccVersion: 2.0.14
variables:
- READ_TOOL_NAME
-->
Writes a file to the local filesystem.
Usage:
- This tool will overwrite the existing file if there is one at the provided path.
- If this is an existing file, you MUST use the ${READ_TOOL_NAME} tool first to read the file's contents. This tool will fail if you did not read the file first.
- ALWAYS prefer editing existing files in the codebase. NEVER write new files unless explicitly required.
- NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested by the User.
- Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid writing emojis to files unless asked.
