Update Markdown File Index

Update markdown file ${file} with an index/table of files from folder ${input:folder}.

Process

1. •Scan: Read the target markdown file ${file} to understand existing structure
2. •Discover: List all files in the specified folder ${input:folder} matching pattern ${input:pattern}
3. •Analyze: Identify if an existing table/index section exists to update, or create new structure
4. •Structure: Generate appropriate table/list format based on file types and existing content
5. •Update: Replace existing section or add new section with file index
6. •Validate: Ensure markdown syntax is valid and formatting is consistent

File Analysis

For each discovered file, extract:

• •Name: Filename with or without extension based on context
• •Type: File extension and category (e.g., .md, .js, .py)
• •Description: First line comment, header, or inferred purpose
• •Size: File size for reference (optional)
• •Modified: Last modified date (optional)

Table Structure Options

Choose format based on file types and existing content:

Option 1: Simple List

## Files in ${folder}

- [filename.ext](path/to/filename.ext) - Description
- [filename2.ext](path/to/filename2.ext) - Description

Option 2: Detailed Table

Option 3: Categorized Sections

Group files by type/category with separate sections or sub-tables.

Update Strategy

• •🔄 Update existing: If table/index section exists, replace content while preserving structure
• •➕ Add new: If no existing section, create new section using best-fit format
• •📋 Preserve: Maintain existing markdown formatting, heading levels, and document flow
• •🔗 Links: Use relative paths for file links within the repository

Section Identification

Look for existing sections with these patterns:

• •Headings containing: "index", "files", "contents", "directory", "list"
• •Tables with file-related columns
• •Lists with file links
• •HTML comments marking file index sections

Requirements

• •Preserve existing markdown structure and formatting
• •Use relative paths for file links
• •Include file descriptions when available
• •Sort files alphabetically by default
• •Handle special characters in filenames
• •Validate all generated markdown syntax
