FAQ

How do I use only my own prompts? Define your list in the codeBridge.prompt.custom setting. This will automatically replace the default list. To get an empty prompt list, set it to {}.

When should I use the token-saving options? They are ideal for large codebases or token-limited models. Be cautious: minifyToSingleLine and removeLeadingWhitespace can break code in languages where indentation is syntactically important.
