Summary of Changes

Hello @fredzqm, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on improving the clarity and utility of the consult_assistant tool's documentation. By providing more comprehensive descriptions for both the tool itself and its primary input parameter, it aims to give users a much better understanding of the tool's capabilities and how to interact with it effectively, especially for Firebase-related inquiries.

Highlights

  • Enhanced Tool Description: The consult_assistant tool's description has been significantly expanded to clearly articulate its specialization in Firebase, detailing the types of information it can provide (e.g., detailed information, best practices, troubleshooting, code examples, contextual help) and the specific Firebase services it covers (Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Functions, Hosting, Storage, Analytics).
  • Improved Prompt Guidance: The description for the prompt input parameter of the consult_assistant tool has been updated to offer more precise instructions and illustrative examples, guiding users on how to formulate effective and detailed queries for the Firebase assistant.

Code Review

This pull request updates the descriptions for the consult_assistant tool, making them more detailed and helpful. The changes are a definite improvement. I've provided a couple of suggestions to enhance the maintainability of the long description strings by using Array.prototype.join() instead of string concatenation, which also helps resolve a minor formatting inconsistency in one of the strings.

For improved readability and maintainability, consider using an array of strings joined together instead of direct string concatenation. This approach is often cleaner, less error-prone (e.g., forgetting a trailing space), and makes it easier to manage individual parts of the description.

Similar to the description field, using Array.prototype.join() here can improve readability.

Additionally, this change corrects a minor formatting inconsistency in the list of examples:

  • Removes the extra space after Examples:.
  • Fixes the inconsistent spacing around the comma separating the examples ('Sign-In.' , 'What...).
        .describe(
          [
            "The specific question or task related to Firebase.",
            "Be precise and include relevant details, such as the Firebase service in question, the desired outcome, or any error messages encountered.",
            "Examples: 'What's the best way to deploy a React app to Firebase Hosting?', 'Explain Firebase Authentication with Google Sign-In.', 'What are the current project settings for \'projectId\'?'",
          ].join(" ")
        ),
