Usage:

  • This tool will overwrite the existing file if there is one at the provided path.${READ_TOOL_NAME()}
  • 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.
