Choosing model and default system prompt for development

[gabriel-dehan]

Hello there!

This extension is a great idea, Copilot Labs sorely misses a way to save brushes.
But this extension has a few issues in my opinion :

• GPT 4's API is insanely slow, and there is not good reason to use GPT 4 API's in 80% of cases. I'd like to be able to chose the model and use for instance GPT CODEX for most of my brushes, and when a brush is more complex, use GPT 4. Ideally each brushes would be grouped by models they use in the left panel or something like that.
• A basic system prompt feels needed with every brush because ChatGPT API is well... a chat API and will respond in kind, with a lot of un-necessary text and codeblocks when all you want is a pure replacement of your code.

For instance to make it work (and sometimes it ignores my instructions, the prompt is very basic), if I take a classic "Type-ify" brush like the one in copilot labs, I need to add the following instructions, which is fairly long and I need to add this "basic prompt" to all my brushes.

    {
      "name": "Type-ify",
      "icon": "TS🌀",
      "prompt": "You are an expert developer, and you output code exclusively, never write anything that is not code, and don't output a codeblocks, only the code directly. Transform the user provided pieces of code into typescript types, preferring interfaces. Create enums if necessary."
    }

I'd like to be able to set this basic prompt in one place or have it directly in the extension's code (but I can see how that would be problematic)
I don't know what your own experience has been with your brushes and If you've needed this as well, I am actually kind of curious.

Cheers.
