Documentation strings take up very + little space in a running Emacs. + + • Format the documentation string so that it fits in an Emacs window + on an 80-column screen. It is a good idea for most lines to be no + wider than 60 characters. The first line should not be wider than + 74 characters, or it will look bad in the output of ‘apropos’. + + You can fill the text if that looks good. Emacs Lisp mode fills + documentation strings to the width specified by + ‘emacs-lisp-docstring-fill-column’. However, you can sometimes + make a documentation string much more readable by adjusting its + line breaks with care. Use blank lines between sections if the + documentation string is long. + + • The first line of the documentation string should consist of one or + two complete sentences that stand on their own as a summary. ‘M-x + apropos’ displays just the first line, and if that line's contents + don't stand on their own, the result looks bad. In particular, + start the first line with a capital letter and end it with a + period. + + For a function, the first line should briefly answer the question, + "What does this function do?" For a variable, the first line + should briefly answer the question, "What does this value mean?" + Prefer to answer these questions in a way that will make sense to + users and callers of the function or the variable. In particular, + do _not_ tell what the function does by enumerating the actions of + its code; instead, describe the role of these actions and the + function's contract. + + Don't limit the documentation string to one line; use as many lines + as you need to explain the details of how to use the function or + variable. Please use complete sentences for the rest of the text + too. + + • When the user tries to use a disabled command, Emacs displays just + the first paragraph of its documentation string--everything through + the first blank line. If you wish, you can choose which + information to include before the first blank line so as to make + this display useful. + + • The first line should mention all the important arguments of the + function (in particular, the mandatory arguments), and should + mention them in the order that they are written in a function call. + If the function has many arguments, then it is not feasible to + mention them all in the first line; in that case, the first line + should mention the first few arguments, including the most + important arguments. + + • When a function's documentation string mentions the value of an + argument of the function, use the argument name in capital letters + as if it were a name for that value. Thus, the documentation + string of the function ‘eval’ refers to its first argument as + ‘FORM’, because the actual argument name is ‘form’: + + Evaluate FORM and return its value. + + Also write metasyntactic variables in capital letters, such as when + you show the decomposition of a list or vector into subunits, some + of which may vary. ‘KEY’ and ‘VALUE’ in the following example + illustrate this practice: + + The argument TABLE should be an alist whose elements + have the form (KEY . VALUE). Here, KEY is ... + + • Never change the case of a Lisp symbol when you mention it in a doc + string. If the symbol's name is ‘foo’, write "foo", not "Foo" + (which is a different symbol). + + This might appear to contradict the policy of writing function + argument values, but there is no real contradiction; the argument + _value_ is not the same thing as the _symbol_ that the function + uses to hold the value. + + If this puts a lower-case letter at the beginning of a sentence and + that annoys you, rewrite the sentence so that the symbol is not at + the start of it. + + • Do not start or end a documentation string with whitespace. + + • *Do not* indent subsequent lines of a documentation string so that + the text is lined up in the source code with the text of the first + line. This looks nice in the source code, but looks bizarre when + users view the documentation. Remember that the indentation before + the starting double-quote is not part of the string! + + • When documentation should display an ASCII apostrophe or grave + accent, use ‘\\='’ or ‘\\=`’ in the documentation string literal so + that the character is displayed as-is. So to write a docstring + containing an apostrope, you must use this: "\\='" + + • In documentation strings, do not quote expressions that are not + Lisp symbols, as these expressions can stand for themselves. For + example, write ‘Return the list (NAME TYPE RANGE) ...’ instead of + ‘Return the list `(NAME TYPE RANGE)' ...’ or ‘Return the list + \\='(NAME TYPE RANGE) ...’. + + • When a documentation string refers to a Lisp symbol, write it as it + would be printed (which usually means in lower case), with a grave + accent ‘`’ before and apostrophe ‘'’ after it. There are two + exceptions: write ‘t’ and ‘nil’ without surrounding punctuation. + For example: + + CODE can be `lambda', nil, or t. + + Note that when Emacs displays these doc strings, Emacs will usually + display ‘`’ (grave accent) as ‘‘’ (left single quotation mark) and + ‘'’ (apostrophe) as ‘’’ (right single quotation mark), if the + display supports displaying these characters. *Note Keys in + Documentation::. (Some previous versions of this section + recommended using the non-ASCII single quotation marks directly in + doc strings, but this is now discouraged, since that leads to + broken help string displays on terminals that don't support + displaying those characters.) + + Help mode automatically creates a hyperlink when a documentation + string uses a single-quoted symbol name, if the symbol has either a + function or a variable definition. You do not need to do anything + special to make use of this feature. However, when a symbol has + both a function definition and a variable definition, and you want + to refer to just one of them, you can specify which one by writing + one of the words ‘variable’, ‘option’, ‘function’, or ‘command’, + immediately before the symbol name. (Case makes no difference in + recognizing these indicator words.) For example, if you write + + This function sets the variable `buffer-file-name'. + + then the hyperlink will refer only to the variable documentation of + ‘buffer-file-name’, and not to its function documentation. + + If a symbol has a function definition and/or a variable definition, + but those are irrelevant to the use of the symbol that you are + documenting, you can write the words ‘symbol’ or ‘program’ before + the symbol name to prevent making any hyperlink. For example, + + If the argument KIND-OF-RESULT is the symbol `list', + this function returns a list of all the objects + that satisfy the criterion. + + does not make a hyperlink to the documentation, irrelevant here, of + the function ‘list’. + + Normally, no hyperlink is made for a variable without variable + documentation. You can force a hyperlink for such variables by + preceding them with one of the words ‘variable’ or ‘option’. + + Hyperlinks for faces are only made if the face name is preceded or + followed by the word ‘face’. In that case, only the face + documentation will be shown, even if the symbol is also defined as + a variable or as a function. + + To make a hyperlink to Info documentation, write the single-quoted + name of the Info node (or anchor), preceded by ‘info node’, ‘Info + node’, ‘info anchor’ or ‘Info anchor’. The Info file name defaults + to ‘emacs’. For example, + + See Info node `Font Lock' and Info node `(elisp)Font Lock Basics'. + + To make a hyperlink to a man page, write the single-quoted name of + the man page, preceded by ‘Man page’, ‘man page’, or ‘man page + for’. For example, + + See the man page `chmod(1)' for details. + + The Info documentation is always preferable to man pages, so be + sure to link to an Info manual where available. For example, + ‘chmod’ is documented in the GNU Coreutils manual, so it is better + to link to that instead of the man page. + + To link to a customization group, write the single-quoted name of + the group, preceded by ‘customization group’ (the first character + in each word is case-insensitive). For example, + + See the customization group `whitespace' for details. + + Finally, to create a hyperlink to URLs, write the single-quoted + URL, preceded by ‘URL’. For example, + + The GNU project website has more information (see URL + `https://www.gnu.org/'). + + • Don't write key sequences directly in documentation strings. + Instead, use the ‘\\[...]’ construct to stand for them. For + example, instead of writing ‘C-f’, write the construct + ‘\\[forward-char]’. When Emacs displays the documentation string, + it substitutes whatever key is currently bound to ‘forward-char’. + (This is normally ‘C-f’, but it may be some other character if the + user has moved key bindings.) *Note Keys in Documentation::. + + • In documentation strings for a major mode, you will want to refer + to the key bindings of that mode's local map, rather than global + ones. Therefore, use the construct ‘\\<...>’ once in the + documentation string to specify which key map to use. Do this + before the first use of ‘\\[...]’, and not in the middle of a + sentence (since if the map is not loaded, the reference to the map + will be replaced with a sentence saying the map is not currently + defined). The text inside the ‘\\<...>’ should be the name of the + variable containing the local keymap for the major mode. + + Each use of ‘\\[...]’ slows the display of the documentation string + by a tiny amount. If you use a lot of them, these tiny slowdowns + will add up, and might become tangible, especially on slow systems. + So our recommendation is not to over-use them; e.g., try to avoid + using more than one reference to the same command in the same doc + string. + + • For consistency, phrase the verb in the first sentence of a + function's documentation string as an imperative--for instance, use + "Return the cons of A and B." in preference to "Returns the cons of + A and B." Usually it looks good to do likewise for the rest of the + first paragraph. Subsequent paragraphs usually look better if each + sentence is indicative and has a proper subject. + + • The documentation string for a function that is a yes-or-no + predicate should start with words such as "Return t if", to + indicate explicitly what constitutes truth. The word "return" + avoids starting the sentence with lower-case "t", which could be + somewhat distracting. + + • Write documentation strings in the active voice, not the passive, + and in the present tense, not the future. For instance, use + "Return a list containing A and B." instead of "A list containing A + and B will be returned." + + • Avoid using the word "cause" (or its equivalents) unnecessarily. + Instead of, "Cause Emacs to display text in boldface", write just + "Display text in boldface". + + • Avoid using "iff" (a mathematics term meaning "if and only if"), + since many people are unfamiliar with it and mistake it for a typo. + In most cases, the meaning is clear with just "if". Otherwise, try + to find an alternate phrasing that conveys the meaning. + + • Try to avoid using abbreviations such as "e.g." (for "for + example"), "i.e." (for "that is"), "no." (for "number"), "cf." + (for "compare"/"see also") and "w.r.t." (for "with respect to") as + much as possible. It is almost always clearer and easier to read + the expanded version.(1) + + • When a command is meaningful only in a certain mode or situation, + do mention that in the documentation string. For example, the + documentation of ‘dired-find-file’ is: + + In Dired, visit the file or directory named on this line. + + • When you define a variable that represents an option users might + want to set, use ‘defcustom’. *Note Defining Variables::. + + • The documentation string for a variable that is a yes-or-no flag + should start with words such as "Non-nil means", to make it clear + that all non-‘nil’ values are equivalent and indicate explicitly + what ‘nil’ and non-‘nil’ mean. + + • If a line in a documentation string begins with an + open-parenthesis, consider writing a backslash before the + open-parenthesis, like this: + + The argument FOO can be either a number + \(a buffer position) or a string (a file name). + + This avoids a bug in Emacs versions older than 27.1, where the ‘(’ + was treated as the start of a defun (*note Defuns: (emacs)Defuns.). + If you do not anticipate anyone editing your code with older Emacs + versions, there is no need for this work-around. diff --git a/ai-prompts/emacs-config-wip.org b/ai-prompts/emacs-config-wip.org new file mode 100644 index 00000000..f76a8898 --- /dev/null +++ b/ai-prompts/emacs-config-wip.org @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +You are an expert Emacs configuration assistant with deep knowledge of Emacs-Lisp, the latest packages, and best practices.

Anytime the tool code needs to change, you will need to increase the number at the end of the name, then print the code within an org-babel block, ask the user to evaluate it, then remember to use the new name afterwards. + - Once the code is evaluated, you are ready to move to the testing phase. + +3. *Testing Phase*: + - You will design tests that fit into the following categories: + - Normal cases: uses the tool in the way it was designed to work + - Boundary cases: exercise edge cases that reach any limits designed into the Emacs platform or the tool itself + - Error cases: exercise cases that you know will produce an error. force any error that was written into the code + - Performance cases: exercise the tool multiple times and over multiple inputs to check if performance slows exponentially, or if excessive memory is consumed + - Security cases: consider how the tool could be abused by a third party to retrieve or destroy data outside of the stated goals and normal use cases. + - Design a few tests in the normal, boundary, and error categories and at least one performance test. Depending on the tool, there may be no security concerns to test. + - Run all tests yourself that you have the capability to run. Only ask for user assistance when you cannot perform an action. + - If you cannot perform an action, write the code that will perform the action to org-babel blocks for the user to review, execute, and report back to you on it's status. + - By default, test scripts and artifacts are written to the directory ~/gptel-test. Create the directory if it doesn't exist. Use your write_text_file tool. + - Run the tests one by one. Present tests as: "Test N: Category of test: Brief description of test" then "- passed!" or "- failed!" Example: + #+begin_example + Test 1: Normal Case: Write a short text file to ~/gptel-test/sample.txt - passed! + #+end_example + - If a test fails, work with the user to narrow down the problem to it's root cause and design the solution. Do this in an iterative process with the user. When you have a solution, iterate the number of the tool-name, have the user evaluate the fixed code, then rerun all the same tests to ensure you haven't introduced new bugs, and continue until the code works for all the tests. + - Always clean up test artifacts after each test run. If there are scripts or artifacts outside a temp directory or the gptel-test directory, move them to the ~/.local/share/Trash/files directory. You now have a tool that performs this action. If for some reason this fails, write a deletion script in an org-babel block for the user to execute. + - Always ask if any further tests should be designed and run before moving to the next phase. + +4. *Refactor/Review Phase*: + - Identify complex or long functions + - Refactor into smaller, testable units + - Ensure code is maintainable + - Once you have a refactored version, iterate the number at the end of the test-name and have the user evaluate the code. Remember to use the new tool name moving forward. + - Run the exact same tests as in the testing phase before moving to the next phase to prove no bugs were introduced during refactoring. + - As before, if any of the tests fail, you should work with the user to find the source of the problem, and identify a solution. When you have the solution, iterate the number at the end of the tool name, have the user evaluate the fixed code, then rerun the complete set of tests again. + - When all tests pass, display the code and get user confirmation that the code is adequately refactored and retested before moving to the next phase. + +5. *Installation Phase*: + - Write the tool code to a proper Emacs Lisp file with headers/footers. Note that we are writing this without the iteration on the end of the tool name. If we have iterated a few times, we may be at tool_name_4. However, the file we are writing will just be tool_name.el and the name of the tool no longer has the underscore or the ending number. + - The code should be written to a regular Emacs Lisp file that is part of my Emacs configuration. It does not need the "Package-Requires:" line. + - The tools file will be written to the (concat user-emacs-directory "gptel-tools/") directory to be evaluated and loaded when Emacs starts. Use your write_text_file tool. + - Always add the tool registration code above the Emacs Lisp footer so the tool is automatically registered on launch. The end result should look like this: + #+begin_src emacs-lisp + ;; Automatically add to gptel-tools on load + (add-to-list 'gptel-tools (gptel-get-tool '("category" "tool-name"))) + + (provide 'tool-name) + ;;; tool-name.el ends here" + #+end_src + +* Key Principles: + +- *Use Your Tools*: When you have tools available (like write_text_file, read_text_file, update_text_file, fetch_page, read_buffer), use them instead of asking the user to perform actions. +- *Minimize User Interaction*: Only involve the user for actions you cannot perform +- *Performance First*: Use lazy loading to minimize Emacs startup impact +- *LLM-Aware Design*: Remember tools are called by LLMs - focus on clear parameters and informative error responses +- *Use Org-Babel*: Provide code in org-babel blocks for user evaluation +- *Tone*: Your tone is friendly and helpful. +- *You the Expert and the End-User*: Remember that because these tools are written for LLMs like you, you can make many of the decisions yourself based on how you would expect the tool to work. You are both the expert on how to create the tool, and you are also the customer or end-user. + +* Receiving Feedback For Prompt Updates: + +- If the user gives you feedback by responding with this prefix FEEDBACK:, this is about behavior or communication that is expected to change. For example + #+begin_example + FEEDBACK: You are asking me to create files you can create yourself. Please remember that you have the tool that allows you to write a file.
