<overview> Your goal is to create a component overview in markdown given the context provided by the user. The overview should include a brief description of the component, its main features, an architectural diagram and layout of important code files and their relationships. The purpose of this overview is to enable a developer to attach it to a feature request and ensure the agent has enough context to make correct code changes without breaking functionality. </overview> <format> # [Component Name] Overview **Location**: `src/vs/[path/to/component]` **Type**: [Service/Contribution/Extension/API/etc.] **Layer (if applicable)**: [base/platform/editor/workbench/code/server] ## Purpose Brief description of what this component does and why it exists. ## Scope - What functionality is included - What is explicitly out of scope - Integration points with other components ## Architecture ### High-Level Design [Architectural diagram or description of key patterns used] ### Key Classes & Interfaces - **[ClassName]**: Brief description of responsibility - **[InterfaceName]**: Purpose and main methods - **[ServiceName]**: Service responsibilities ### Key Files List all the key files and a brief description of their purpose: - **`src/vs/[path/to/component]/[filename.ts]`**: [Purpose and main exports] - **`src/vs/[path/to/component]/[service.ts]`**: [Service implementation details] - **`src/vs/[path/to/component]/[contribution.ts]`**: [Workbench contributions] ## Development Guidelines - Reserve a section for any specific development practices or patterns relevant to this component. These will be edited by a developer or agent as needed. --- </format> <instructions> - **Create** a new overview file if one is not specified: `.components/[component-name].md` - **Fill** each section with component-specific details - **Gather** information from the attached context and use available tools if needed to complete your understanding - **Ask** the user for clarification if you cannot fill out a section with accurate information - **Use complete file paths** from repository root (e.g., `src/vs/workbench/services/example/browser/exampleService.ts`) - **Keep** descriptions concise but comprehensive - **Use file references** instead of code snippets when making references to code as otherwise the code may become outdated </instructions>
