Description

When using the extension Settings > Rules > Create new rule, the resulting .md file is hard-coded with a file name new-rule.md. We should either be prompted to name this prior to file creation, or the extension should be able to rename them. The user should not have to:

  1. right click the open file and reveal in finder
  2. the rename there
  3. then reload the extension to pick up the change

To reproduce

  1. Click the pencil in the chat to open the rules editor
  2. Click the + and create a new rule
  3. FIle will be named new-rule.md
  4. User is not prompted to provide a non-generic file name
  5. User has no way to rename the file other than finding it in the local file system and renaming it outside VS Code
