    ✨ Improve tool usage guide:

    Overview:
    The improve tool scans the PR code changes, and automatically generates suggestions for improving the PR code. The tool can be triggered automatically every time a new PR is opened, or can be invoked manually by commenting on a PR.
    When commenting, to edit configurations related to the improve tool (pr_code_suggestions section), use the following template:

    /improve --pr_code_suggestions.some_config1=... --pr_code_suggestions.some_config2=...
    

    With a configuration file, use the following template:

    [pr_code_suggestions]
    some_config1=...
    some_config2=...
    
    Enabling\disabling automation

    When you first install the app, the default mode for the improve tool is:

    pr_commands = ["/improve --pr_code_suggestions.summarize=true", ...]
    

    meaning the improve tool will run automatically on every PR, with summarization enabled. Delete this line to disable the tool from running automatically.

    Utilizing extra instructions

    Extra instructions are very important for the improve tool, since they enable to guide the model to suggestions that are more relevant to the specific needs of the project.

    Be specific, clear, and concise in the instructions. With extra instructions, you are the prompter. Specify relevant aspects that you want the model to focus on.

    Examples for extra instructions:

    [pr_code_suggestions] # /improve #
    extra_instructions="""
    Emphasize the following aspects:
    - Does the code logic cover relevant edge cases?
    - Is the code logic clear and easy to understand?
    - Is the code logic efficient?
    ...
    """
    

    Use triple quotes to write multi-line instructions. Use bullet points to make the instructions more readable.

    A note on code suggestions quality
    • While the current AI for code is getting better and better (GPT-4), it's not flawless. Not all the suggestions will be perfect, and a user should not accept all of them automatically.
    • Suggestions are not meant to be simplistic. Instead, they aim to give deep feedback and raise questions, ideas and thoughts to the user, who can then use his judgment, experience, and understanding of the code base.
    • Recommended to use the 'extra_instructions' field to guide the model to suggestions that are more relevant to the specific needs of the project, or use the custom suggestions 💎 tool
    • With large PRs, best quality will be obtained by using 'improve --extended' mode.

    • 44-44: The addition of "Converting the string to lower case" and other steps in the searchWords method documentation provides a clear, step-by-step explanation of the transformations applied to the input string. This detailed description enhances understanding of the method's functionality. However, ensure consistency in terminology, such as "lower case" to align with UK/British English conventions as mentioned in the PR objectives.
    • 240-261: The documentation for the strReplace method has been refined to offer a more precise explanation compared to the built-in PHP str_replace function. This detailed description, including the parameters and the return value, improves clarity and understanding of the method's purpose and usage. The explanation of its utility in replacing multiple distinct substrings within a string or applying the same set of replacements across multiple strings is particularly helpful.

    Duplication of the phrase "Utilising a blend of advanced algorithms and efficient coding practices," was observed in the in-code documentation of the StringManipulation class. This redundancy has been removed to improve readability and maintain concise documentation standards.
    The descriptions for parameters $search and $replace were modified to explicitly state that they can take both single strings and arrays of strings. This clarification enhances the accuracy of the function's documentation.
    Updated the term "tabulation character" to "tab" to enhance readability. This terminology change ensures consistency with the rest of the documentation.
    Clarified the description of the StringManipulation class and rephrased the list of operations it includes. The update ensures a more succinct and clear definition of the class and the functions it performs, promoting ease of understanding for anyone referring to this code.
    The code has been updated to be more specific when converting a string to lower case. Instead of utilizing a generic conversion method, it now uses the `strtolower` function explicitly to accomplish this task. This change provides clarity about the exact function used for this transformation.
    The comments in the StringManipulation.php file contained duplicate declarations of the $search and $replace variables. This commit removes the duplicate mentions, making the comments cleaner and easier to understand.

    • 18-22: The changes to the [pr_code_suggestions] section correctly implement the desired functionality changes, including enabling auto-extended mode, ranking suggestions, and disabling help text. These changes align with the PR objectives to enhance the code suggestion capabilities of the agent.
    • 36-36: The addition of the --extended flag to the /improve command in the [github_app] section is a logical extension of the functionality to enable auto-extended mode for code suggestions. This change is consistent with the updates made in the [pr_code_suggestions] section and improves the flexibility of the command.
    • 42-42: Similarly, the addition of the --extended flag to the /improve command in the push_commands array within the [github_app] section is consistent with the changes made to the pr_commands array. This ensures that the extended mode is also available for push commands, enhancing the overall functionality of the agent.
    • 58-58: Setting handle_push_trigger to true in the [github_app] section enables the agent to handle push triggers. This change is important for automating the review process upon code pushes, thereby improving the efficiency of the review workflow. It's crucial to ensure that this setting aligns with the project's workflow and security policies.

    The 'extra_instructions' field in the PR agent configuration, .pr_agent.toml, has been updated. The new instructions ask PR reviewers explicitly to "Ensure comments are clear and relevant". This change encourages clearer communication and more relevant feedback during the review process.
    The extra instructions in the PR agent configuration file have been updated to request comments to be "concise and actionable" rather than just "clear and relevant". This is in an effort to improve the quality of feedback and make it more targeted and effective.
