+## Trade Offs
+
+#### Undo Tree vs. Undo Stack
+
+While the undo tree method that vim uses is powerful, I rarely find myself using it. A stack terminal-based
+approach is more natural to "non-vim" users and much simpler to implement. Implementing a feature similar
+to Vims undo tree would many times longer than a simple stack.
+
+#### Vim-like Replace vs. Custom Replace
+
+The way that vim's replace mode is implemented is quite complex, keeping track of the previous
+line backspace can only delete newly replaced characters. This is a complex feature, one that 
+I rarely use, and even find a bit un-intuitive. Implementing replace mode in a way where all 
+actions function the same as insert mode (other than the actual character typing) allows for 
+a much simpler implementation, as well as a more intuitive user experience.
+
+Replace mode implements and replaces (no pun intended) the last inserted keys of insert mode. Due to
+the infrequent use of replace mode, and the '.' action for insert mode, this felt like a natural 
+trade off.
+
+---
+
+## TODO List
+
+- Ops like change, and substitute and such should add to paste reg
+- Delete op should also add to paste reg
+- Gap buffer implementation (this shouldn't be TOO hard)
+- Alternate buffer handling and implementation
+- Scroll in X direction

+---

+### The Core Commands
+* `/review` 
+    Asks Gemini to read the entire PR diff and provide a structured summary, score the PR, identify potential bugs, and suggest high-level fixes.
+* `/describe` 
+    Automatically rewrites the PR's title and description based on the actual code changes. (Great for when you just want to push code and not write documentation).
+* `/improve` 
+    Scans the code and provides actionable, copy-pasteable snippets to improve the code, focusing on performance, security, and best practices.
+* `/ask "<your question>"` 
+    Turns the PR comment section into a chat window. It uses the PR diff as context. Example: `/ask "Did I properly handle the null pointer edge cases in the new database function?"`
+
+### Specialized Tools
+* `/test` 
+    Asks the AI to generate unit tests specifically tailored for the new or modified code in the PR.
+* `/update_changelog` 
+    Automatically drafts an update for your `CHANGELOG.md` file based on the PR's contents.
+* `/generate_labels` 
+    Analyzes the code changes and recommends appropriate labels for the PR (e.g., `bug`, `enhancement`, `refactor`).
+* `/help` 
+    Forces the bot to reply with a quick cheat sheet of all available commands and usage instructions in case you forget them.
+
+### Pro-Tip: Steering the AI
+You can actually pass arguments directly to the commands to give Gemini specific instructions for that specific run. 
+
+For example, if you want a review but want it to be hyper-paranoid about security, you can type:
+`/review --pr_reviewer.extra_instructions="Focus heavily on potential security vulnerabilities and SQL injection risks."`
