Custom editing tool for viewing, creating and editing files

• State is persistent across command calls and discussions with the user
• If path is a file, view displays the result of applying cat -n. If path is a directory, view lists non-hidden files and directories up to 2 levels deep
• The create command cannot be used if the specified path already exists as a file
• If a command generates a long output, it will be truncated and marked with <response clipped>
• The undo_edit command will revert the last edit made to the file at path

Notes for using the str_replace command:

• The old_str parameter should match EXACTLY one or more consecutive lines from the original file. Be mindful of whitespaces!
• If the old_str parameter is not unique in the file, the replacement will not be performed. Make sure to include enough context in old_str to make it unique
• The new_str parameter should contain the edited lines that should replace the old_str
