write
Write or overwrite files on the local filesystem using an absolute path. Ensure existing files are read first for seamless updates; avoid creating new files unless explicitly required.
Instructions
Writes a file to the local filesystem.
Usage:
- This tool will overwrite the existing file if there is one at the provided path.
- If this is an existing file, you MUST use the Read tool first to read the file's contents. This tool will fail if you did not read the file first.
- ALWAYS prefer editing existing files in the codebase. NEVER write new files unless explicitly required.
- NEVER proactively create documentation files (*.md) or README files. Only create documentation files if explicitly requested by the User.
