Global Feed Post Login
Replying to Avatar hodlbod

Has anyone figured out a good AI-based workflow for editing code? I don't want copilot, I don't want to copy everything into a chat box every time I want to ask a question. I want to give the LLM access to my local file system's copy of my repository, and say things like:

> Create a component called src/app/shared/FeedList.svelte which has a "create feed" button similar to the one on the groups list page, and a list of user feeds. Each list item should be in a card, with an "edit" link on the right that links to a form for editing the custom feed.

The agent would then update my file system in place, and I could review the changes via git, manually edit, or provide a follow-up prompt. When I'm happy with the results, I can commit the changes, rinse, and repeat.

That prompt is obviously very complex, particularly the inference of what a "button similar to the one on the groups list page" might be. But a dumber prompt would still be a 10x improvement over typing everything out by hand.

We are getting there. I'd want the LLM to live on my machine though and not just open remote access to all my files to some tech company.
