Description

I prompted the MakeCode agent to create a "new, separate tutorial" from the tutorial that I had made, but instead of making a new markdown file for the new tutorial to live, all of the content was overwritten. We don't want a user to lose their progress or work, so we should have agents favor making new files if there is any indication from the user that they want something like that.
