Features 🔥
Capabilities 🚀
✅ Make files with code in them
✅ Create a project structure
✅ Run commands, files and programs automatically
✅ Create a workspace
✅ Works in any language (But you MUST be specific!)
✅ Can see the file names of all files in your workspace (excluding node_modules because it is too large)
Limitation ⚠️
❌ It can not view code in any of your files
❌ It can only write so much text in files in one prompt
❌ It has a tendency to reject prompts, even if they are good. Try to word it a little differently and be more verbose.
❌ It can not work with files outside of the workspace
❌ It has a tendency to reject prompts not JavaScript or C related due to the pre-prompt included in the code. This just means be more verbose and it will likely work.
❌ Prompt max length can be reached if you have a very large workspace. This is being fixed.

How to write Good Prompts
✅ Be Specific
✅ Tell it what files to make
✅ Tell it if you want to run it afterwards or not
✅ Tell it what language(s) to use
Good Prompts:
✅ Make a nodejs program in JavaScript that says babbur 1,000 times and run it
✅ Make a website in HTML with a few buttons on it that when clicked alert babbur
✅ Make a file called main.py, write a program in Python that says babbur 1,000 times, and run it
✅ Make a file called main.js, write a program in JavaScript that says babbur 1,000 times, and run it
✅ Delete all files in my workspace besides 'index.js' and 'main.js' and make a file called 'index.js' that says babbur 1,000 times and run it
