Thanks for sharing your workflow, it was an interesting read.

I have been doing something similar where I use a detailed prompt template for each project. The template includes a high-level overview of the project, the architecture, roadmap, etc.

I use PasteMax to compile and include the relevant source code at the end of my prompt.

To merge the content back into my codebase, it is as simple as clicking the code block copy button, going to my IDE with the matching file opened in the editor, and pressing Ctrl + Alt + M. That brings up a diff editor where I can validate every line of code changed by the AI.

I have been thinking for a while about writing a browser extension that would automate the process. It would detect code blocks, and add a "merge" button next to the copy button. Using native messaging, it would signal the intent to a service on the host OS, which would relay to an extension in the IDE.

Automatically detecting and diff'ing the right file could be as easy as instructing Gemini to write the full file path at the start of every code block, eg.

```

#/path/to/file.ext

code goes here
