Execution Configuration

Field	Type	Description
`file` *	`String`	The relative path to the file to append content to.
`append_content`	`String`	The specific content to append or a natural language description of what to add.
`related_files`	`List<String>`	Additional files provided to the AI to ensure the appended content matches project style/context.

💡 Technical Note

Unlike FileModificationTask, the target file is not provided to the AI. Only the related_files are used as context. This makes it highly efficient for large files where you only need to add to the end.

Prompt Segment

FileAppend - Append content to the end of an existing file
  * Specify the relative file path and the content or goal of the addition.
  * The target file is NOT provided to the AI; only related context files are.
  * Useful for adding log entries, updating lists, or adding new exports/imports at the end of a file
