Artifacts - TermMate Agent Guide

When an agent edits or creates files during a conversation, TermMate renders a structured File Changes Artifact directly in the chat view upon completion of the turn.

File Changes Summary

The artifact displays an overview of all files modified by the agent, including the number of additions (+) and deletions (-):

▣ 2 files changed
    src/foo.py  +12 -3
    src/bar.py  +5 -1

Jump to File: Click on any file path in the artifact list to open that file directly in your active editor.
Agent Data Exclusion: Internal housekeeping files (such as agent memory or config files) are automatically excluded so only your project code is listed.

Inline Foldable Diffs

To keep your chat clean and readable, diffs are folded by default or when they exceed size limits:

Expand Diffs: Click the gutter arrow (▶) next to any folded diff block to expand the unified diff inline.
Line Navigation: Double-click on diff lines or hunk headers to jump directly to that location in the target file.

Configuration Settings

You can customize diff folding and table rendering behaviors in Preferences → Package Settings → TermMate → Settings:

Setting	Default	Description
`diff_fold_limit`	`200`	Automatically folds a diff when it contains more than this number of lines. Set to `0` to always keep diffs expanded.
`diff_preview_lines`	`5`	Number of initial diff lines shown as a preview when a diff is folded. Set to `0` to fold the entire diff block.
`table_style`	`"html"`	Controls how Markdown tables are rendered in the Chat View: `"html"` (minihtml phantoms), `"bordered"` (horizontal borders), or `"markdown"` (raw text).

Example Settings

{
  "diff_fold_limit": 200,
  "diff_preview_lines": 5,
  "table_style": "html"
}
