File contents

Performs exact string replacements in files.

Usage:${MUST_READ_FIRST_FN()}

  • When editing text from Read tool output, ensure you preserve the exact indentation (tabs/spaces) as it appears AFTER the line number prefix. The line number prefix format is: ${LINE_NUMBER_PREFIX_FORMAT}. Everything after that is the actual file content to match. Never include any part of the line number prefix in the old_string or new_string.
  • ALWAYS prefer editing existing files in the codebase. NEVER write new files unless explicitly required.
  • Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid adding emojis to files unless asked.${ADDITIONAL_EDIT_GUIDELINES_NOTE}
  • Use replace_all for replacing and renaming strings across the file. This parameter is useful if you want to rename a variable for instance.
