Save
Editor primitive for persisting exact edits and reporting what changed. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to save, write, persist, or commit the current buffer to disk.
Rename Symbol Literally
Editor primitive for exact token replacement, not semantic refactoring. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to rename an exact symbol, token, string, or identifier and provides both old and new text.
Write Code By Hand
Natural-language command-line editor mode for human-authored code changes. Use when the user wants the agent to act as a deliberately underpowered cursor/editor: inspect files, track a current file and line, and apply only exact user-provided edits while refusing to invent implementation code, answer engineering questions, or convert intent into software.
Verify
Editor primitive for running exact human-selected verification commands. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to run tests, lint, build, format, or execute a specific command.
Goto
Editor primitive for selecting the current file, line, range, function, or end-of-file cursor position. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to go to, select, focus, open at, jump to, or move the cursor.
Replace Range
Editor primitive for replacing an exact contiguous line range with exact user-provided text. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to replace lines, swap this block, or change a selected range.
Delete Range
Editor primitive for deleting an exact line range after explicit confirmation. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to delete, remove, or cut specific lines or a selected range.
Look
Editor primitive for listing directories and showing exact file contents or line ranges without interpreting or changing code. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to look, open, show, list, inspect, or display files.
Insert Block
Editor primitive for inserting an exact user-provided text block at a specified location or current cursor. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to insert, add, paste, append, or put this exact block somewhere.
Move File
Editor primitive for moving or renaming files when the user provides exact source and destination paths. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to move, rename, copy, or relocate a file.
Replace Line
Editor primitive for replacing one specific line with exact user-provided text. Use inside write-code-by-hand mode when the user asks to replace a line, change this line to, or set line N to exact text.
