CDS.ScriptChat.WinForms

A drop-in WinForms script+chat panel: the user talks to an LLM about the C# script they are editing, and the assistant can propose edits to it.

Two calls to adopt it:

_chatPanel.AddScript(
    name:  "Inspection",
    read:  () => _scriptTextBox.Text,
    write: script => _scriptTextBox.Text = script,
    api:   typeof(ScriptGlobals));   // drives the orientation index AND lookup_symbol

_chatPanel.UseStoredKey("MyApp");    // key store, settings dialogue, and restore
  • ScriptChatHostPanel — the control to drop in. AddScript once per script, UseStoredKey once. It reaches the host's script buffer through caller-supplied delegates, so it works with any editor control (Scintilla, a plain TextBox, anything) and depends on none of them.
  • ScriptChatPanel — the inner chat UI, for a host that wants to drive sessions itself.
  • ScriptChatSettingsPanel / ScriptChatSettingsForm — provider, model and API key configuration, as a panel or a ready-made dialogue. UseStoredKey wires these up for you.
  • DpapiApiKeyStore — per-user API key storage via Windows DPAPI. Swap in your own via IApiKeyStore.

Set <GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile> in your app, or lookup_symbol returns correct signatures with no documentation.

Proposed edits — a full rewrite or a targeted find/replace patch — are shown as a diff and applied only when the user accepts. Only one proposal is ever awaiting a decision at a time.

Bring your own key. The key is stored per-user under DPAPI and is never logged or transmitted anywhere except the provider SDK call itself.

Builds on CDS.ScriptChat.Core, which holds the provider-agnostic conversation engine.
