RooCode, when using local models, had frequently problems when writing/editing program files (incorrect path parameter, etc. etc.).
In Code and Debug mode, custom mode instructions, I added the content below rom RooDocs. And now: the problems have disappeared (preliminary results). Model used: cpatonn/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-AWQ-4bit (vllm distributed inferencing).
write_to_file
The write_to_file tool creates new files or completely replaces existing file content with an interactive approval process. It provides a diff view for reviewing changes before they're applied.
Parameters
The tool accepts these parameters:
path (required): The path of the file to write to, relative to the current working directory
content (required): The complete content to write to the file
line_count (required): The number of lines in the file, including empty lines
What It Does
This tool writes content to a specified file, either creating a new file if it doesn't exist or completely overwriting an existing file. All changes require explicit user approval through a diff view interface, where users can review and even edit the proposed changes before they're applied.
When is it used?
When Roo needs to create a new file from scratch
When Roo needs to completely rewrite an existing file
When creating multiple files for a new project
When generating configuration files, documentation, or source code
When you need to review changes before they're applied
Key Features
Interactive Approval: Shows changes in a diff view requiring explicit approval before applying
User Edit Support: Allows editing the proposed content before final approval
Safety Measures: Detects code omission, validates paths, and prevents truncated content
Editor Integration: Opens a diff view that scrolls to the first difference automatically
Content Preprocessing: Handles artifacts from different AI models to ensure clean content
Access Control: Validates against .rooignore restrictions before making changes
Parent Directories: May handle directory creation through system dependencies
Complete Replacement: Provides a fully transformed file in a single operation
