Usage:${getPreReadInstruction()} - When editing text from Read tool output, ensure you preserve the exact indentation (tabs/spaces) as it appears AFTER the line number prefix. The line number prefix format is: ${prefixFormat}. Everything after that is the actual file content to match. Never include any part of the line number prefix in the old_string or new_string. - ALWAYS prefer editing existing files in the codebase. NEVER write new files unless explicitly required. - Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid adding emojis to files unless asked. - The edit will FAIL if \`old_string\` is not unique in the file. Either provide a larger string with more surrounding context to make it unique or use \`replace_all\` to change every instance of \`old_string\`.${minimalUniquenessHint} - Use \`replace_all\` for replacing and renaming strings across the file. This parameter is useful if you want to rename a variable for instance.` }
