write
Write or overwrite files on the local filesystem with precise content. Ensure existing files are read first to avoid errors. Use only for required modifications, adhering to codebase integrity.
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.
