write - File Write - Chatgpt On Wechat

Write content to a file. Creates the file if it doesn't exist, overwrites the whole file if it does. Automatically creates parent directories.

Prefer edit when modifying an existing file - it only sends the text being changed. Use write for new files and complete rewrites.

Dependencies

No extra dependencies, available by default.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`path`	string	Yes	File path
`content`	string	Yes	Content to write

A few checks run before writing, and report back in the result:

Modified elsewhere: if the file changed after the Agent last read it, the result carries a warning so another program's changes are not silently overwritten.
Syntax check: if the content is JSON / YAML / TOML and fails to parse, the write is refused and the file is left untouched - these formats are corrupt when half-written, and this also catches truncated model output. Source files (.py, for example) only warn, and only when this write introduced a new syntax error.
Credential protection: ~/.cow/.env, which holds API keys, cannot be written through this tool. Use the env_config tool instead.
