Infile prompting

This is still somewhat new and experimental, but: how about going declarative instead of using the command line or AIGenerationTask to tell the AI what files to process for each task? With infile prompting you can put the prompts right into the file that contains generated parts. Put a comment like this into the output file:

<!-- AIGenPromptStart(marker)
Here comes the prompt for the AI. 
AIGenCommand(marker)
inputfile1.txt inputfile2.java
AIGenPromptEnd(marker) -->
Here comes the AI output.
<!-- AIGenEnd(marker) -->

The marker should be an unique identifier if you have several prompts in one file. The part between the AIGenPromptEnd and AIGenEnd is replaced with the output of the AI when the aigenpipeline is run. In the part between AIGenCommand and AIGenPromptEnd you can put the command line options for the individual task - likely mostly the input files. The AIGenEnd marker is optional - if it is not present, the line after the AIGenPromptEnd to the end of the file is replaced with the output of the AI.

This is processed with the -os / --outputscan option, which takes an ant style pattern to find the files to process, e.g.:

aigenpipeline -os 'src/site/**/*.md'

In the path, a * matches any file name part, and ** matches any number of directories. Remember to quote the pattern if you work with an Unix shell, as the shell would otherwise expand the pattern.

aigenpipeline -os 'examples/infileprompt/*' -dd
