📄 Description

Study Mode

Changelog Entry

Description

This PR introduces Study Mode, which is inspired by OpenAI's Study Mode and Anthropic's Learning Mode.

Discussion in #17424

When Study Mode is active, a system prompt is injected that instructs the LLM to act like a tutor/instructor, who walks the user through the thought process of discovering the solution to their problem instead of offering up a straight answer.

See this example:

Added

Study Mode config parameters
Env variable to set the default system prompt for Study Mode
Settings tab to enable Study Mode globally and set a custom prompt
Button in message input to activate/deactivate Study Mode
TODO: User- and group-level permission for Study Mode (similar to Code Interpreter)

Additional Information

If Study Mode is active, the Study Mode system prompt is used as the chat-level system prompt and takes precedence over the user settings system prompt as normal.
- If the chat-level system prompt is changed in the Chat Controls, Study Mode is deactivated.
The implementation of Study Mode is modeled after the implementation of Code Interpreter (regarding the button behavior) and the task model prompts (regarding defining the default prompt and setting a admin-defined one)
