        "text": "Here's what I found from `src/ai/tools/grep-tool.ts`:\n\n**Current Defaults & Handling:**\n- `outputMode`: Defaults to `'files_with_matches'`.\n- `multiline`: Default is `false` (it's a boolean and needs to be explicitly set to `true` to enable multi-line matching with `-U --multiline-dotall`).\n- `glob` & `type`: These are optional string parameters and don't have default values. They are directly passed to `rg --glob` and `rg -t` respectively.\n- File Content Filtering: There isn't a direct parameter for \"file content filtering\" beyond the `pattern` itself. `rg` (ripgrep) inherently filters by content when a pattern is provided. If you meant filtering which *files* to search based on their content (e.g., only search files that contain \"License\" string), that's not supported by `Grep` directly and would require a multi-step process (e.g., `Glob` for files, then `Read` and check content).\n\n**Observations for Improvement:**\n\n1.  **`multiline` default:** The description correctly states \"Default: false.\" However, it might be beneficial to highlight this more explicitly in the prompt or consider if a `Kodo Code` specific usage often requires `multiline` to be true.\n2.  **`glob` and `type` usage:** The description explains how to use them, but the prompts from the user might not always make it clear that these options are available.\n3.  **User Output Format Clarity:** The `outputMode` is well-documented within the tool's description. The question is how well this translates to the AI's prompt generation.\n4. **File Content Filtering**: If this is a frequently needed feature, it would necessitate a new tool or a combination of existing tools.\n\nNext, I'll examine the agent files, specifically `src/agents/coding-agent.ts`, to see how `Grep` is being invoked and how the prompts are constructed.\n",

Key observations related to `Grep` and prompting:\n\n**Tool Availability and Description:**\n- The `CodingAgent` has access to a `toolSet`, which includes `Grep`.\n- The tool descriptions (like the ones I read from `grep-tool.ts`) are dynamically injected into the system prompt via `${Object.entries(tools).map(([name, tool]) => `- ${name}: ${tool.description}`).join('\\n')}`. This means the AI *does* see the detailed usage instructions for `Grep`, including `multiline`, `glob`, `type`, and `outputMode`.\n\n**Prompt Structure:**\n- The system prompt includes detailed instructions on tone, style, conventions, and task workflow.\n- It also injects `projectContextPrompt`, which likely provides context about the current project.\n\n**Conclusion so far:**\n\nThe core issue isn't that the tool *descriptions* are lacking in detail for the AI. The AI *does* get the full descriptions. However, the user also mentioned: \"for the user, it is not obvious in prompts that they can define output format.\" This suggests there might be a disconnect between the AI's understanding (from the tool description) and the *user's awareness* of how to leverage `Grep`'s advanced features, particularly `outputMode`.\n\n**Next Steps:**\n\n1.  **Review the AI SDK documentation (provided link):** I will check the AI SDK's prompt guidelines and best practices to see if there are better ways to structure prompts or provide examples that could make the tool capabilities more obvious to the user, not just the AI.\n2.  **Suggest improvements to the system prompt (if necessary):** If the AI SDK suggests it, I might recommend adding user-facing examples or clearer instructions on how users can ask for specific `Grep` `outputMode`s or other parameters.\n3.  **Consider an explicit \"help\" or \"tool usage\" prompt:** Perhaps a dedicated prompt or a mechanism where the user can ask \"how do I use Grep?\" or \"what are the options for Grep?\" could be beneficial.\n\nSince I don't have direct access to browsing the URL, I'll assume the AI SDK documentation generally advises clear, concise prompt engineering. Based on this, I'll propose edits to the `Grep` tool's description within `src/ai/tools/grep-tool.ts` to make its parameters, especially `outputMode`, more prominent and easier for the AI to present to the user. I'll also add an explicit example of how to request a specific `outputMode`.\n\nI will now propose modifications to `src/ai/tools/grep-tool.ts` and `src/agents/coding-agent.ts`.\n",
