Pull Request Overview
This PR refactors the instructions list generation to use XML format instead of Markdown tables, and properly references tools using tool variables with the #tool: prefix. The changes improve the structure of generated instruction lists and enable proper tool reference tracking.
Key changes:
- Replaces Markdown table format with XML structure (
<instructions>,<instruction>,<skills>,<skill>tags) - Updates tool references to use the
#tool:prefix format with qualified tool names - Adds tool reference tracking via
ChatRequestToolReferenceEntrywith offset ranges for each tool mention
