Noting that LLM-driven text editing is notoriously tricky to get right, he modeled the core tools—<code>view</code> (with line numbers), strict <code>str_replace</code> (which fails if the string isn&rsquo;t unique), and line-based <code>insert</code>—directly on the published design of the Claude text editor. Rather than recreating these common patterns for every new tool, future Datasette Agent plugins can simply adapt these proven fundamentals.</p>
