AI Analysis
●●●BangerBig BrainWizardry
AST operations beat fragile text patches for AI agent code edits.
Strengths
- •Structural AST operations avoid the fragility of text-based patching.
- •Dry-run mode and JSON output enable auditable agent workflows.
- •Selector syntax with capture groups allows precise targeting.
Weaknesses
- •Requires explicit import management after structural changes.
- •New project with zero stars means unproven in production.
