eCornell JupyterLab Error Explanation Assistant

This assistant mirrors the functionality of the native error explanation assistant with the following customizations:

Assistant button name

• Renamed the assistant button to: Explain this Jupyter error!
• Edit it in the register function call to change the button name displayed to learners.

Prompt modifications

• Both system and user prompts have slight changes for jupyter specific context setting.

Open guide pages are screened out of the context

• This can be verified by checking the userPrompt variable - we've removed the following snippet that would pass the open guide page as context

  <assignment>
  ${context.guidesPage.content}
  </assignment>
  

Passing markdown and code cell types as student file context

• comments in index.js walk through how we select and filter the code and markdown cell content of the open Jupyterlab notebook.
• this is then passed as context (in the userPrompt variable)
