Experimental Features
Roo Code includes experimental features that are still under development. These features may be unstable, change significantly, or be removed in future versions. Use them with caution and be aware that they may not work as expected.
Warning: Experimental features may have unexpected behavior, including potential data loss or security vulnerabilities. Enable them at your own risk.

Current Experimental Features
The following experimental features are currently available:
Unified Diff Editing Strategy
This is an alternate diff editing strategy to the standard search-and-replace algorithm. It evaluates multiple different approaches to applying a unified diff to a file, and selects the best approach for the given file.
Note: You must have "Enable editing through diffs" checked to use this feature.
Multi-block Diff Editing Strategy
Multi-block diff strategy allows updating multiple code blocks in a file in one request.
Search and Replace
Adds a new tool for searching and replacing text in a file.
Insert Content
Adds a new tool for inserting content at any position in a file.
Power Steering
When enabled, Roo will remind the model about the details of its current mode definition more frequently. This will lead to stronger adherence to role definitions and custom instructions, but will use more tokens per message.
