Description

When merging Markdown sections (AGENTS.md), an extra newline was always added between content blocks. This PR adds a check to skip this newline if both the end of the current block and the start of the next block are list items (starting with - ). This ensures unordered lists from different sources are merged into a single continuous list.

Changes

  • Updated mergeAgentsFiles in src/index.ts to skip newline for adjacent - list items.
  • Added comprehensive unit tests in test/agents.test.ts to verify the behavior and handle edge cases like horizontal rules.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Timeless0911, 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 refines the Markdown merging functionality by addressing an issue where an unnecessary newline was inserted between adjacent list items. The change ensures that when Markdown sections containing unordered lists are merged, the lists remain continuous and properly formatted, enhancing the readability and structural integrity of the combined document. This improvement is supported by new tests covering various merging scenarios.

Highlights

  • Markdown List Merging: Implemented logic within mergeAgentsFiles to prevent the addition of an extra newline when merging two adjacent Markdown list items (starting with - ). This ensures that unordered lists from different sources are combined into a single, continuous list.
  • Comprehensive Unit Tests: Added new unit tests to test/agents.test.ts to thoroughly verify the new list merging behavior, including scenarios with non-list content and horizontal rules, ensuring correct newline handling in various contexts.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses an issue where an extra newline was added when merging adjacent Markdown list items. The logic in src/index.ts has been updated to conditionally skip this newline, and comprehensive unit tests have been added in test/agents.test.ts to validate the new behavior. The changes are well-implemented. I have one suggestion to improve the performance of string manipulation in src/index.ts.
