Ask aisdk About Recent R Context

Description

Collect recent R error context, active script context, session information, and workspace object summaries, then open console_chat() with that context as the initial prompt.

Collects the recent R error/session context and opens console_chat() with that context as the first user message. In RStudio, this function also reads the active source document when available, making it suitable as an Addin binding.

Usage

ask_ai(
  prompt = NULL,
  model = NULL,
  skills = "auto",
  skill = NULL,
  context = NULL,
  startup_dir = getwd(),
  working_dir = tempdir(),
  sandbox_mode = "permissive",
  stream = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  show_context = FALSE,
  max_context_chars = Inf,
  max_error_age_secs = 300,
  confirm_stale_errors = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

`prompt`	Optional user instruction to add above the collected context.
`model`	Optional model string, `LanguageModelV1`, or `ChatSession`.
`skills`	Skill paths, `"auto"`, or a `SkillRegistry` passed to `console_chat()`.
`skill`	Optional skill name to force for the initial turn.
`context`	Optional additional context text, or an `aisdk_ai_context` object to reuse.
`startup_dir`	R session startup directory for project-aware context.
`working_dir`	Working directory for sandboxed console tools.
`sandbox_mode`	Sandbox mode for the console agent.
`stream`	Whether to stream model output.
`verbose`	Whether to show debug console output.
`show_context`	If `TRUE`, print and return the initial prompt without launching `console_chat()`.
`max_context_chars`	Maximum formatted context characters. Defaults to `Inf`, meaning no explicit truncation.
`max_error_age_secs`	Maximum age in seconds for errors/warnings to be included. Defaults to 300 (5 minutes). Set to `Inf` to include all errors regardless of age.
`confirm_stale_errors`	If `TRUE` (default), show a warning and prompt for confirmation when errors/warnings are detected but appear stale.
`...`	Additional arguments passed to `collect_ai_context()`.
