/help slash-command

[S1M0N38]

Neovim and high-quality plugins are shipped with well-structured docs in doc/*.txt.
This documentation is indexed with tags and easily searchable (e.g., Telescope help_tags).

I think that a useful slash-command could be /help which triggers something like Telescope help_tags and inserts the selected documentation section in that chat.

Another approach is the one used by VSCode: it uses @-commands to provide context across multiple files. Right now, three @-commands are implemented:

• @workspace
• @terminal
• @vscode

For example, the prompt

@vscode how can I change the text font size?

will use the VSCode docs to perform RAG.

However, I think that this second option (e.g., @neovim) is not straightforward and it would only make sense to reconsider if embeddings (and how to use them) will be supported in the future by codecompanion.nvim

This is an awesome suggestion.

I'm currently reworking Tools. These allow you to @ a particular tool into the chat buffer which gives the LLM the ability to execute commands/functions.

A help tool would be a brilliant idea. We could share a list of help docs available to the LLM and let it decide what it would like to consume.

I do have a @rag tool in the plugin right now which leverages a third party service to extract data from a page for an LLM but it needs a little bit of work.

My main focus is to add a tool which can update a buffer next if a user gives approval.
