With tests being in place, it’s time to start tuning up functionality that has been annoying me so far on this journey!

Problems of scale

Prompt:

when prompting the user for which day to select, they are currently being displayed from oldest first to newest last. Can you flip that to display the most recent values first?

Details

To change the order of days when prompting the user for selection, I’ll need to look at the UserInteractionService.cs file since that’s where the day selection logic is implemented. This file would need to be modified to display days in reverse chronological order (newest first).

I’ll modify the UserInteractionService.cs file to display days in reverse chronological order (newest first) when prompting the user for selection.

Here’s the change:

llm-history-to-post/core/Services/UserInteractionService.cs

<<<<<<< SEARCH
		var days = promptsByDay.Keys.OrderBy(d => d).ToList();
=======
		var days = promptsByDay.Keys.OrderByDescending(d => d).ToList();
>>>>>>> REPLACE

This change reverses the sorting order of days from ascending (oldest first) to descending (newest first) when displaying the selection prompt to the user.

No auto updating tests

Prompt:

can you update ShouldPromptForSelectionWhenMultipleDaysExist to handle this update?

Details

I need to update the test that verifies the day selection functionality to account for the change in sort order. To do this, I’ll need to see the current implementation of the test in the UserInteractionServiceTests.cs file.

Could you please add the following file to the chat:

  • llm-history-to-post/tests/Services/UserInteractionServiceTests.cs

Add file to the chat? (Y)es/(N)o/(D)on’t ask again [Yes]: y

I’ll update the ShouldPromptForSelectionWhenMultipleDaysExist test to account for the change in sort order (newest first instead of oldest first). Since we’ve changed the order of days in the UserInteractionService.cs file, we need to update the test to expect the correct day when selecting the second option.

Here’s the change:

llm-history-to-post/tests/Services/UserInteractionServiceTests.cs

<<<<<<< SEARCH
		// Set up the test console to select the second option
		_testConsole.Input.PushKey(ConsoleKey.DownArrow);
		_testConsole.Input.PushKey(ConsoleKey.Enter);

		var result = _service.SelectDay(dict);
		
		Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(new DateOnly(2025, 4, 2)));
=======
		// Set up the test console to select the second option
		_testConsole.Input.PushKey(ConsoleKey.DownArrow);
		_testConsole.Input.PushKey(ConsoleKey.Enter);

		var result = _service.SelectDay(dict);
		
		Assert.That(result, Is.EqualTo(new DateOnly(2025, 4, 3)));
>>>>>>> REPLACE

This change updates the test to expect the second day in descending order (2025-04-03) when the user selects the second option in the list, rather than the second day in ascending order (2025-04-02).

You can run the test to verify this change with:

Creating a plan

Prompt:

Can you create an implementation plan to update the application to instead of creating headers automatically with the title “Prompt {number}” to instead be a user entered title that happens at the same time the user is asked for a verdict

Details

Implementation Plan for User-Entered Prompt Titles

Based on the file summaries, I’ll outline a plan to modify the application to allow users to enter custom titles for prompts instead of automatically generating “Prompt {number}” titles.

1. Update Models

Update PromptResponsePair class

  • Add a new Title property to store the user-entered title
  • Ensure it has a default value in case it’s not provided

2. Update Services

Modify UserInteractionService

  • Update the CollectVerdicts method to also collect a title for each prompt
  • Add a new method like CollectTitleAndVerdict or modify the existing one
  • Ensure proper UI/UX for title collection alongside verdict collection

Update BlogPostGenerator

  • Modify the GenerateBlogPost method to use the user-provided title instead of “Prompt {number}”
  • Update the markdown generation to incorporate the custom titles

3. Update Tests

Update UserInteractionServiceTests

  • Add tests to verify title collection functionality
  • Update existing tests that might be affected by this change

Update BlogPostGeneratorTests

  • Modify tests to verify custom titles are properly included in generated blog posts
  • Add specific tests for title formatting in the output

Update other affected tests

  • Check and update any other tests that might be affected by the model changes

4. Update Program Flow

Modify Program.cs

  • Ensure the main program flow incorporates the title collection step
  • Update any UI messaging related to the prompt selection and verdict collection

Implementation Details

  1. First, add the Title property to the PromptResponsePair class
  2. Update the UserInteractionService.CollectVerdicts method to also collect titles
  3. Modify the BlogPostGenerator to use these titles in the output
  4. Update all affected tests
  5. Test the full application flow to ensure titles are properly collected and displayed

This approach maintains the existing application structure while adding the new functionality in a clean way.

Thank you for providing those files. I now have all the necessary information to implement the feature. Let’s proceed with the implementation:

1. Update PromptResponsePair.cs

First, let’s add a Title property to the PromptResponsePair class:

namespace LlmHistoryToPost.Models;

public record PromptResponsePair
{
	public string Prompt { get; init; } = string.Empty;
	public string Response { get; init; } = string.Empty;
	public bool? IsSuccess { get; set; }
	public string UserComment { get; set; } = string.Empty;
	public string Title { get; set; } = string.Empty;
	
	public string GetPromptPreview(int maxLength = 100)
	{
		if (maxLength <= 0)
		{
			throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(maxLength), "Max length must be positive");
		}
		
		if (Prompt.Length <= maxLength)
		{
			return Prompt;
		}
		
		return Prompt[..(maxLength - 3)] + "...";
	}
}

2. Update UserInteractionService.cs

Now, let’s modify the CollectVerdicts method to also collect a title for each prompt:

namespace LlmHistoryToPost.Services;

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Models;
using Spectre.Console;

public class UserInteractionService(IAnsiConsole console)
{
	public DateOnly SelectDay(Dictionary<DateOnly, List<PromptResponsePair>> promptsByDay)
	{
		var days = promptsByDay.Keys.OrderByDescending(d => d).ToList();
		
		switch (days.Count)
		{
			case 0:
				throw new InvalidOperationException("No days with conversations found in the history file.");
			case 1:
				console.MarkupLine($"[green]Only one day found: {days[0]}. Automatically selecting it.[/]");
				return days[0];
			default:
				return console.Prompt(
					new SelectionPrompt<DateOnly>()
						.Title("Select a day to process:")
						.PageSize(10)
						.AddChoices(days)
						.UseConverter(d => d.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"))
				);
		}
	}
	
	public List<PromptResponsePair> SelectPrompts(List<PromptResponsePair> prompts)
	{
		if (prompts.Count == 0)
		{
			throw new InvalidOperationException("No prompts found for the selected day.");
		}
		
		var selectedIndices = console.Prompt(
			new MultiSelectionPrompt<int>()
				.Title("Select prompts to include in the blog post:")
				.PageSize(15)
				.InstructionsText("[grey](Press [blue]<space>[/] to toggle selection, [green]<enter>[/] to confirm)[/]")
				.AddChoices(Enumerable.Range(0, prompts.Count))
				.UseConverter(i => $"{i + 1}. {Markup.Escape(prompts[i].GetPromptPreview())}")
		);
		
		return selectedIndices.Select(i => prompts[i]).ToList();
	}
	
	public void CollectVerdicts(List<PromptResponsePair> selectedPrompts)
	{
		foreach (var pair in selectedPrompts)
		{
			console.Clear();
			
			console.MarkupLine("[yellow]===== PROMPT =====[/]");
			console.WriteLine(pair.Prompt);
			
			console.MarkupLine("\n[yellow]===== RESPONSE =====[/]");
			console.WriteLine(pair.Response);
			
			// Collect a title for the prompt
			pair.Title = console.Ask<string>("Enter a title for this prompt:");
			
			pair.IsSuccess = console.Confirm("Was this a success?");
			
			pair.UserComment = console.Ask<string>("Enter your comment for this verdict:");
		}
	}
	
	public int GetDayNumber()
	{
		return console.Ask<int>("Enter the day number for the blog post title:");
	}
}

3. Update BlogPostGenerator.cs

Finally, let’s update the BlogPostGenerator to use the user-provided titles:

namespace LlmHistoryToPost.Services;

using System.Text;
using LlmHistoryToPost.Models;

public class BlogPostGenerator
{
	public string GenerateBlogPost(
		DateTimeOffset date, 
		List<PromptResponsePair> selectedPrompts, 
		int dayNumber)
	{
		var sb = new StringBuilder();
		
		// YAML frontmatter
		sb.AppendLine("---");
		sb.AppendLine($"title: \"Hour a Day: AI - Day {dayNumber} - \"");
		sb.AppendLine($"date: {date:yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ssK}");
		sb.AppendLine("categories:");
		sb.AppendLine("  - \"Hour a Day: AI\"");
		sb.AppendLine("tags:");
		sb.AppendLine("  - ai");
		sb.AppendLine("---");
		sb.AppendLine();
		
		// Introduction
		sb.AppendLine("## Introduction");
		sb.AppendLine();
		
		// Prompt-response pairs
		for (int i = 0; i < selectedPrompts.Count; i++)
		{
			var pair = selectedPrompts[i];
			
			// Use the user-provided title, or fall back to a default if empty
			var title = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pair.Title) 
				? pair.Title 
				: $"Prompt {i + 1}";
				
			sb.AppendLine($"## {title}");
			sb.AppendLine();
			sb.AppendLine("> **Prompt:**");
			sb.AppendLine(">");
			
			// Format the prompt with proper line breaks
			foreach (var line in pair.Prompt.Split('\n'))
			{
				sb.AppendLine($"> {line}");
			}
			
			sb.AppendLine(">");
			sb.AppendLine();
			sb.AppendLine("

  	foreach (var line in pair.Response.Split('\n'))
  	{
  		sb.AppendLine($"> {line}");
  	}

Verdict: ✅ The plan was good!

Step 1

Prompt:

can you implement step 1 of the plan?

Details

I’ll implement step 1 of the plan, which is to add a Title property to the PromptResponsePair class.

llm-history-to-post/core/Models/PromptResponsePair.cs

<<<<<<< SEARCH
namespace LlmHistoryToPost.Models;

public record PromptResponsePair
{
	public string Prompt { get; init; } = string.Empty;

	public string UserComment { get; set; } = string.Empty;
=======
namespace LlmHistoryToPost.Models;

public record PromptResponsePair
{
	public string Prompt { get; init; } = string.Empty;
	public string Response { get; init; } = string.Empty;
	public bool? IsSuccess { get; set; }
	public string UserComment { get; set; } = string.Empty;
	public string Title { get; set; } = string.Empty;
>>>>>>> REPLACE

This change adds a new Title property to the PromptResponsePair class with a default empty string value. The property is mutable (has a setter) so it can be updated during the verdict collection process.

Step 2

Prompt:

Can you implement step 2 of the plan?

Details

I’ll implement step 2 of the plan, which is to modify the UserInteractionService to collect a title for each prompt during the verdict collection process.

llm-history-to-post/core/Services/UserInteractionService.cs

<<<<<<< SEARCH
	public void CollectVerdicts(List<PromptResponsePair> selectedPrompts)
	{
		foreach (var pair in selectedPrompts)
		{
			console.Clear();
			
			console.MarkupLine("[yellow]===== PROMPT =====[/]");
			console.WriteLine(pair.Prompt);
			
			console.MarkupLine("\n[yellow]===== RESPONSE =====[/]");
			console.WriteLine(pair.Response);
			
			pair.IsSuccess = console.Confirm("Was this a success?");
			
			pair.UserComment = console.Ask<string>("Enter your comment for this verdict:");
		}
	}
=======
	public void CollectVerdicts(List<PromptResponsePair> selectedPrompts)
	{
		foreach (var pair in selectedPrompts)
		{
			console.Clear();
			
			console.MarkupLine("[yellow]===== PROMPT =====[/]");
			console.WriteLine(pair.Prompt);
			
			console.MarkupLine("\n[yellow]===== RESPONSE =====[/]");
			console.WriteLine(pair.Response);
			
			// Collect a title for the prompt
			pair.Title = console.Ask<string>("Enter a title for this prompt:");
			
			pair.IsSuccess = console.Confirm("Was this a success?");
			
			pair.UserComment = console.Ask<string>("Enter your comment for this verdict:");
		}
	}
>>>>>>> REPLACE

This change adds a new prompt to collect a title for each prompt-response pair during the verdict collection process. The title is collected before asking about success and comments, creating a natural flow in the user interaction.

Step 3?

Prompt:

For that last change can you update the title to not only reference collecting verdicts?

Details

I’ll update the BlogPostGenerator to use the user-provided title instead of the automatic “Prompt {number}” format.

llm-history-to-post/core/Services/BlogPostGenerator.cs

<<<<<<< SEARCH
			var pair = selectedPrompts[i];
			
			sb.AppendLine($"## Prompt {i + 1}");

			var title = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pair.Title) 
				? pair.Title 
				: $"Prompt {i + 1}";
				
			sb.AppendLine($"## {title}");
>>>>>>> REPLACE

This change modifies the BlogPostGenerator to use the user-provided title for each prompt in the generated blog post. If the title is empty or whitespace, it falls back to the original “Prompt {number}” format.

I’ll update the BlogPostGenerator.cs file to not auto-populate section titles if they’re not entered in the model. Instead, it should just use the title as provided, even if it’s empty.

llm-history-to-post/core/Services/BlogPostGenerator.cs

<<<<<<< SEARCH
			// Use the user-provided title, or fall back to a default if empty
			var title = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pair.Title) 
				? pair.Title 
				: $"Prompt {i + 1}";
				
			sb.AppendLine($"## {title}");
=======
			// Use the title exactly as provided by the user
			sb.AppendLine($"## {pair.Title}");
>>>>>>> REPLACE

This change removes the fallback logic that would automatically generate a title like “Prompt 1” when the user doesn’t provide one. Now it will just use whatever title is in the model, even if it’s empty or null.

Conclusion

This was a really good test of my latest convention of not updating tests without being asked to. It did both a good job of respecting that wish when tests shouldn’t be altered while also having no issue determining when I did actually want them updated. The only thing it didn’t seem to do was handle changes that would cause compilation issues. That said it didn’t do that for the other parts of the program either, so perhaps not something unique to the tests.
