Generate text using LLMs with customizable prompts

Video

Requires

• Ollama with an appropriate model, e.g. mistral:instruct or zephyr (customizable)

Usage

Use command Gen to generate text based on predefined and customizable prompts.

Example key maps:

vim.keymap.set('v', '<leader>]', ':Gen<CR>')
vim.keymap.set('n', '<leader>]', ':Gen<CR>')

You can also directly invoke it with one of the predefined prompts:

vim.keymap.set('v', '<leader>]', ':Gen Enhance_Grammar_Spelling<CR>')

Options

All prompts are defined in require('gen').prompts, you can enhance or modify them.

Example:

require('gen').prompts['Elaborate_Text'] = {
  prompt = "Elaborate the following text:\n$text",
  replace = true
}
require('gen').prompts['Fix_Code'] = {
  prompt = "Fix the following code. Only ouput the result in format ```$filetype\n...\n```:\n```$filetype\n$text\n```",
  replace = true,
  extract = "```$filetype\n(.-)```"
}

You can use the following properties per prompt:

• prompt: (string | function) Prompt either as a string or a function which should return a string. The result can use the following placeholders:
  • $text: Visually selected text
  • $filetype: Filetype of the buffer (e.g. javascript)
  • $input: Additional user input
  • $register: Value of the unnamed register (yanked text)
• replace: true if the selected text shall be replaced with the generated output
• extract: Regular expression used to extract the generated result
• model: The model to use, e.g. zephyr, default: mistral:instruct

You can change the default model by setting require('gen').model = 'your_model', e.g.

require('gen').model = 'zephyr' -- default 'mistral:instruct'

Here are all available models.

You can also change the complete command with

require('gen').command = 'your command' -- default 'ollama run $model $prompt'

You can use the placeholders $model and $prompt.
