insert_text
Replace or insert text at specific line ranges in files using line-number operations. Ideal for large files or precise edits without context-heavy processing.
Instructions
Insert or replace text at precise line ranges in files
Ideal for direct line-number operations (from code citations like 12:15:file.ts) and large files where context-heavy editing is inefficient.
TIP: Combine with read_symbol to edit any symbol anywhere without knowing its file or line range!
