Quick Start

1. Clone the repo.

git clone https://github.com/mckaywrigley/o1-xml-parser

1. Install dependencies.

npm install

1. (Optional) Create a .env.local file and set the PROJECT_DIRECTORY environment variable to your project directory.

cp .env.example .env.local

PROJECT_DIRECTORY=/path/to/your/project # Ex: /Users/you/your-project

The XML Prompt (updated 1/12/25)

Present a complete plan to solve the problem and implement it in the codebase.

At the end of your response, respond with the following XML section (if applicable).

XML Section:

• Do not get lazy. Always output the full code in the XML section.
• Enclose this entire section in a markdown codeblock
• Include all of the changed files
• Specify each file operation with CREATE, UPDATE, or DELETE
• For CREATE or UPDATE operations, include the full file code
• Include the full file path (relative to the project directory, good: app/page.tsx, bad: /Users/mckaywrigley/Desktop/projects/new-chat-template/app/page.tsx)
• Enclose the code with ![CDATA[CODE HERE]]
• Use the following XML structure:

<code_changes>
  <changed_files>
    <file>
      <file_operation>__FILE OPERATION HERE__</file_operation>
      <file_path>__FILE PATH HERE__</file_path>
      <file_code><![CDATA[
__FULL FILE CODE HERE__
]]></file_code>
    </file>
    __REMAINING FILES HERE__
  </changed_files>
</code_changes>

Other rules:

• DO NOT remove <ai_context> sections. These are to provide you additional context about each file.
• If you create a file, add an <ai_context> comment section at the top of the file.
• If you update a file make sure its <ai_context> stays up-to-date
• DO NOT add comments related to your edits
• DO NOT remove my existing comments

We may go back and forth a few times. If we do, remember to continue to output the entirety of the code in an XML section (if applicable).

Take all the time you need.
