+# Enhanced Code Editing with AI Models
+
+The developer extension now supports using AI models for enhanced code editing through the `str_replace` command. When configured, it will use an AI model to intelligently apply code changes instead of simple string replacement.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Set these environment variables to enable AI-powered code editing:
+
+```bash
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_HOST="https://api.openai.com/v1"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_MODEL="gpt-4o"
+```
+
+**All three environment variables must be set and non-empty for the feature to activate.**
+
+### Supported Providers
+
+Any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint should work. Examples:
+
+**OpenAI:**
+```bash
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_HOST="https://api.openai.com/v1"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_MODEL="gpt-4o"
+```
+
+**Anthropic (via OpenAI-compatible proxy):**
+```bash
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_HOST="https://api.anthropic.com/v1"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_MODEL="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022"
+```
+
+**Morph:**
+```bash
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_HOST="https://api.morphllm.com/v1"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_MODEL="morph-v0"
+```
+
+**Relace**
+```bash
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_API_KEY="rlc-..."
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_HOST="https://instantapply.endpoint.relace.run/v1/apply"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_MODEL="auto"
+```
+
+**Local/Custom endpoints:**
+```bash
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_API_KEY="your-key"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_HOST="http://localhost:8000/v1"
+export GOOSE_EDITOR_MODEL="your-model"
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+When you use the `str_replace` command in the text editor:
+
+1. **Configuration check**: The system first checks if all three environment variables are properly set and non-empty.
+
+2. **With AI enabled**: If configured, the system sends the original code and your requested change to the configured AI model, which intelligently applies the change while maintaining code structure, formatting, and context.
+
+3. **Fallback**: If the AI API is not configured or the API call fails, it falls back to simple string replacement as before.
+
+4. **User feedback**: The first time you use `str_replace` without AI configuration, you'll see a helpful message explaining how to enable the feature.
+
+## Benefits
+
+- **Context-aware editing**: The AI understands code structure and can make more intelligent changes
+- **Better formatting**: Maintains consistent code style and formatting
+- **Error prevention**: Can catch and fix potential issues during the edit
+- **Flexible**: Works with any OpenAI-compatible API
+- **Clean implementation**: Uses proper control flow instead of exception handling for configuration checks
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The implementation follows idiomatic Rust patterns:
+- Environment variables are checked upfront before attempting API calls
+- No exceptions are used for normal control flow
+- Clear separation between configured and unconfigured states
+- Graceful fallback behavior in all cases
+
+The feature is completely optional and backwards compatible - if not configured, the system works exactly as before with simple string replacement.

+        When writing the edit, you should specify each edit in sequence, with the special comment // ... existing code ... to represent unchanged code in between edited lines.
