Use predefined directives when refactor
This is a bug or a feature request.
I want to have a directive like this to improve English text in HTML.
(english . "You are a proofreader. Put the following into standard English keeping HTML tags.")
However, even I select the directive with 'h' command, 'r' command replaces it with the standard one such as "You are a html programmer...". That results proofreading does not occur.
An expected behavior is to keep the selected directive in the 'r' command.
This is a good point, but I'm not sure how to fix it. It does not make sense to reuse the general system message/directive that you set with h in the refactor menu, since rewriting is a special case. Most of the time -- and for most users -- it will not be a rewrite message.
I could provide a user-customizable "rewrite message" menu (and alist gptel-rewrite-directives, like gptel-directives) that you can pre-populate with your rewrite messages. Then the rewrite menu can let you select between these, or provide a custom directive. I don't like this solution because it complicates the configuration and adds a feature that very few users will need.
Alternatively, you don't have to use the rewrite menu at all -- set your 'english directive like you do and just use gptel-send the usual way. The rewriting menu is only a convenience, the only addition is the ability to ediff. The results don't differ from regular gptel usage in any other way.
The h command could be more simple to select a directive according to the current buffer mode.
Suppose we have the following gptel-directives and we are in python-ts-mode. The h command could show comment, test, and debug directives in addition to default, writing, and chat directives. After selecting one of them, we could use the r command.
((default . "You are a large language model living in Emacs and a helpful assistant. Respond concisely.") (writing . "You are a large language model and a writing assistant. Respond concisely.") (chat . "You are a large language model and a conversation partner. Respond concisely.") ((web-mode . spanish) . "Translate into Spanish keeping HTML tags.") ((web-mode . japanese) . "Translate into Japanese keeping HTML tags.") ((web-mode . english) . "Correct English keeping HTML tags.") ((python-ts-mode . comment) . "Make a doc comment against the given code without any additional text, prompt or note.") ((python-ts-mode . test) . "Make a set of doctest against the given code without any additional text, prompt or note..") ((python-ts-mode . debug) . "Debug the given code without any additional text, prompt or note.") )
The above directive system would be very useful for web developers who are making multi language web sites.
Closing as the rewrite system has been redesigned now. You can create any rewrite directive and use it when rewriting. All directives, for general use or rewriting, live in the same gptel-directives alist.
