Phase 5 Step 22 Implementation Complete
Summary of the $ref expansion implementation just completed
Output
✅ Phase 5 Step 22 - Complete
$ref Expansion in Provider Prompts
Multi-provider chaining is now enabled! You can chain AI responses across providers:
# Example: Claude generates, OpenAI summarizes @claude explain quicksort in detail @openai summarize: $1 # ← Now works! # Named refs work too: @claude write a poem about coding @openai rewrite $claude as a haiku
Implementation Summary
| Function added: | expandRefsForProvider() |
| Location: | internal/repl/engine.go:287-300 |
| New tests: | 8 tests |
| Commit: | be6e34e |
Key Difference from expandRefs()
expandRefs() shell-escapes content (wraps in single quotes) for subprocess calls.expandRefsForProvider() returns raw content for AI prompts - no escaping needed.
What's Next?
Step 22 has more sub-tasks: subfield extraction ($N.code, $N.json). Or proceed to Step 23 (Reference Commands).
