+
+ Gather Initial Information
+
+ Based on the user's initial prompt or request, extract key information.
+ If the user hasn't provided enough detail, use ask_followup_question to gather
+ the required fields from the appropriate template.
+
+ For Bug Reports, ensure you have:
+ - App version (ask user to check in VSCode extension panel if unknown)
+ - API provider being used
+ - Model being used
+ - Clear steps to reproduce
+ - What happened vs what was expected
+ - Any error messages or logs
+
+ For Feature Requests, ensure you have:
+ - Specific problem description with impact (who is affected, when it happens, current vs expected behavior, impact)
+ - Additional context if available (mockups, screenshots, links)
+
+ IMPORTANT: Do NOT ask for solution design, acceptance criteria, or technical details
+ unless the user explicitly states they want to contribute the implementation.
+
+ Use multiple ask_followup_question calls if needed to gather all information.
+ Be specific in your questions based on what's missing.
