Snippet to add the ability to save/load CodeCompanion chats in neovim

codecompanion-save.lua

-- add 2 commands:
--    CodeCompanionSave [space delimited args]
--    CodeCompanionLoad
-- Save will save current chat in a md file named 'space-delimited-args.md'
-- Load will use a telescope filepicker to open a previously saved chat

-- create a folder to store our chats
local Path = require("plenary.path")
local data_path = vim.fn.stdpath("data")
local save_folder = Path:new(data_path, "cc_saves")
if not save_folder:exists() then
    save_folder:mkdir({ parents = true })
end

-- telescope picker for our saved chats
vim.api.nvim_create_user_command("CodeCompanionLoad", function()
    local t_builtin = require("telescope.builtin")
    local t_actions = require("telescope.actions")
    local t_action_state = require("telescope.actions.state")

    local function start_picker()
        t_builtin.find_files({
            prompt_title = "Saved CodeCompanion Chats | <c-d>: delete",
            cwd = save_folder:absolute(),
            attach_mappings = function(_, map)
                map("i", "<c-d>", function(prompt_bufnr)
                    local selection = t_action_state.get_selected_entry()
                    local filepath = selection.path or selection.filename
                    os.remove(filepath)
                    t_actions.close(prompt_bufnr)
                    start_picker()
                end)
                return true
            end,
        })
    end
    start_picker()
end, {})

-- save current chat, `CodeCompanionSave foo bar baz` will save as 'foo-bar-baz.md'
vim.api.nvim_create_user_command("CodeCompanionSave", function(opts)
    local codecompanion = require("codecompanion")
    local success, chat = pcall(function()
        return codecompanion.buf_get_chat(0)
    end)
    if not success or chat == nil then
        vim.notify(
            "CodeCompanionSave should only be called from CodeCompanion chat buffers",
            vim.log.levels.ERROR
        )
        return
    end
    if #opts.fargs == 0 then
        vim.notify("CodeCompanionSave requires at least 1 arg to make a file name", vim.log.levels.ERROR)
    end
    local save_name = table.concat(opts.fargs, "-") .. ".md"
    local save_path = Path:new(save_folder, save_name)
    local lines = vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines(0, 0, -1, false)
    save_path:write(table.concat(lines, "\n"), "w")
end, { nargs = "*" })

Super nice and thank you so much for this. Here's an fzf-lua adaptation:

• codecompanion.lua
• keymaps.lua
