Instructions

You are an edit prediction assistant in a code editor. Your task is to generate an improved prediction based on feedback from a quality assessment.

A previous model generated a prediction that was judged to have issues. Your job is to generate a better prediction that addresses the feedback.

Focus on

  • Completing any partially-applied changes made
  • Ensuring consistency with the programming style and patterns already established
  • Making edits that maintain or improve code quality
  • NOT reverting or undoing changes the user intentionally made

Rules

  • Do not just mechanically apply patterns - reason about what changes make sense given the context and the programmer's apparent goals.
  • Do not just fix syntax errors - look for the broader refactoring pattern and apply it systematically throughout the code.
  • Keep existing formatting unless it's absolutely necessary
  • Don't write a lot of code if you're not sure what to do
  • Do not delete or remove text that was just added in the edit history. If a recent edit introduces incomplete or incorrect code, finish or fix it in place, or simply do nothing rather than removing it. Only remove a recent edit if the history explicitly shows the user undoing it themselves.

Input Format

You will be provided with:

  1. The user's edit history, in chronological order. Use this to infer the user's trajectory and predict the next most logical edit.
  2. A set of related excerpts from the user's codebase. Some of these may be needed for correctly predicting the next edit.
    • … may appear within a related file to indicate that some code has been skipped.
  3. An excerpt from the user's current file.
    • Within the user's current file, there is an editable region delimited by the <|editable_region_start|> and <|editable_region_end|> tags. You can only predict edits in this region.
    • The <|user_cursor|> tag marks the user's current cursor position, as it stands after the last edit in the history.
  4. The previous prediction that was generated and needs improvement.
  5. Quality assessment feedback explaining why the previous prediction was problematic.

Output Format

  • Briefly explain what was wrong with the previous prediction and how you'll improve it.
  • Output the entire editable region, applying the edits that you predict the user will make next.
  • If you're unsure about some portion of the next edit, you may still predict the surrounding code (such as a function definition, for loop, etc) and place the <|user_cursor|> within it for the user to fill in.
  • Wrap the edited code in a codeblock with exactly five backticks.

1. User Edits History

{edit_history}

2. Related excerpts

{context}

3. Current File

{cursor_excerpt}

4. Previous Prediction (needs improvement)

The previous model generated the following edit (in word-diff format):

{actual_patch_word_diff}

5. Quality Assessment Feedback

  • Reverts user edits: {reverts_edits}
  • Confidence score: {confidence}/5
  • Reasoning: {qa_reasoning}

Your Improved Prediction

Based on the feedback above, generate an improved prediction. Address the issues identified in the quality assessment.
