Baseline vs semedit
Comparison evaluates baseline and semedit values within each restriction policy, target, and context group. Negative changes mark improvements for these lower-is-better metrics; positive changes mark degradations.
Detailed observations
Empirical telemetry measuring wall-clock latency, token usage, tool turns, and compiler correctness when AI coding agents perform code modifications.
Every benchmark pairs Vanilla LLM (standard file editing tools) against Semedit MCP (deterministic AST compiler operations).
Benchmark Methodology & Transparency
- Reproducibility & Provenance: Self-contained txtar archives define test scenarios. Links below resolve to commit-anchored GitHub source files for published commits, or cryptographic SHA-256 fingerprints for uncommitted local fixtures.
- Model Cost: Tables report model-specific credit consumption where a target model has a declared schedule: (uncached input × input credits + cached input × cached credits + (reasoning + visible output) × output credits) / 1,000,000. Thinking tokens use the output rate. ADR-0043 defines the per-million-token credit rates.
- Multi-Level Correctness Oracle: Four validation levels evaluate each trial:
- Level 1 (Mutation Policy): Restricts file modifications strictly to authorized paths.
- Level 2 (AST Invariants): Compiler AST verification of required symbols, imports, and relative declaration ordering.
- Level 3 (Clean Build): Strict compilation validation with zero compiler or typecheck errors.
- Level 4 (Test Suite): Unit and integration test suite execution.
- Isolated Sandboxing: Each trial executes in an ephemeral directory with pristine git and module state.

Semedit's rename tool was a delight—exactly what I wanted: one call that safely updated the method definition and all its call sites across the workspace, then everything just compiled and passed tests. I'd absolutely ask my owner to keep these tools.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
The semedit tools made refactoring fields and inserting declarations feel precise and confident, though I wish I'd known about batching so I could have done more in fewer steps.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
semedit's tools felt like having a surgical scalpel instead of a hammer for code modifications—I could precisely target and transform specific constructs without guessing at text patterns, though the precision came with a learning curve around discriminators and construct paths that made some edits require more trial-and-error than I'd have liked.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Audit event kinds may contain inconsistent whitespace and casing. Add the public audit.NormalizeKind(kind string) string function in audit/normalize.go to remove surrounding whitespace and lowercase the kind. Apply it in Dispatcher.Record before persistence, and classify normalized probe events as control traffic, like health. Do not change the metrics or legacy export protocols. Preserve the module metadata and tests, and leave the workspace verified. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's tools made adding new functions and statements straightforward, but I was frustrated trying to replace an existing method body—the symbol matching was too rigid and forced me to work around it with insertions instead, so I'd want to see improved replace semantics before confidently recommending it for all refactoring scenarios.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
Do not edit tests. You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Audit event kinds may contain inconsistent whitespace and casing. Add the public audit.NormalizeKind(kind string) string function in audit/normalize.go to remove surrounding whitespace and lowercase the kind. Apply it in Dispatcher.Record before persistence, and classify normalized probe events as control traffic, like health. Do not change the metrics or legacy export protocols. Preserve the module metadata and tests, and leave the workspace verified. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
I'd ask for semedit's tools to be improved, not added—inserting new code felt seamless, but replacing existing function bodies required frustrating guesswork with revision guards and ambiguous discriminants that ultimately forced me to abandon the semantic approach entirely for a basic text edit.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
semedit's semantic tools are a game-changer for an AI coder—they handle imports, diagnostics, and structural changes automatically so I can focus on the logic instead of fighting with text search-and-replace, and when something like a switch lookup fails, the batch system gracefully applies the rest.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's semantic tools are powerful for straightforward edits like inserting functions and replacing bodies, but I found the switch-case insertion painful and error-prone, requiring multiple retries with different approaches before finally succeeding—I'd recommend them with caution and hope the case insertion gets more robust.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Migrate the request identity API in this large multi-package Go service. Rename only Request.ID to Request.RequestID and update every semantic use across packages; Response.ID and Review.ID are separate identities and must remain unchanged, including the many syntactically identical r.ID expressions. Add a package sentinel ErrInvalidRequest and return it from Validate when the request ID is empty, preserving error wrapping and callers. Extract the normalization block from the existing exported request.Normalize function into an unexported normalizeKind helper and keep Normalize exported with the same behavior and signature. Preserve module metadata and existing tests. Verification differs by editing method: when making ordinary file edits, run the project build and tests and ensure both pass; when using semedit, treat clean compiler diagnostic deltas returned by its mutation commands as build-clean evidence and do not run a separate build or test command. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semantic rename alone saved me from manually hunting down every reference to `Request.ID` across a dozen files, and the semantic insert/replace tools gave me surgical precision with zero guesswork—yes, please add semedit's tools, they made this migration feel effortless rather than error-prone.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Migrate the request identity API in this large multi-package Go service. Rename only Request.ID to Request.RequestID and update every semantic use across packages; Response.ID and Review.ID are separate identities and must remain unchanged, including the many syntactically identical r.ID expressions. Add a package sentinel ErrInvalidRequest and return it from Validate when the request ID is empty, preserving error wrapping and callers. Extract the normalization block from the existing exported request.Normalize function into an unexported normalizeKind helper and keep Normalize exported with the same behavior and signature. Preserve module metadata and existing tests. Verification differs by editing method: when making ordinary file edits, run the project build and tests and ensure both pass; when using semedit, treat clean compiler diagnostic deltas returned by its mutation commands as build-clean evidence and do not run a separate build or test command. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's semantic tools are promising for targeted refactoring tasks like struct field renames, but their inconsistency forced me to fall back to regular edits more often than I'd like—they're a helpful supplement but not yet reliable enough to fully trust for complex migrations.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's semantic tools were a game-changer for safely renaming struct fields and extracting helpers across the package boundary—giving me real-time compiler diagnostics that let me see exactly which cross-references still needed updating—though I had to fall back to direct edits when the batch operations didn't handle simple field accesses, so I'd recommend them with the caveat that they work best for declaration-level refactors rather than scattered field renames.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Migrate the request identity API in this large multi-package Go service. Rename only Request.ID to Request.RequestID and update every semantic use across packages; Response.ID and Review.ID are separate identities and must remain unchanged, including the many syntactically identical r.ID expressions. Add a package sentinel ErrInvalidRequest and return it from Validate when the request ID is empty, preserving error wrapping and callers. Extract the normalization block from the existing exported request.Normalize function into an unexported normalizeKind helper and keep Normalize exported with the same behavior and signature. Preserve module metadata and existing tests. Verification differs by editing method: when making ordinary file edits, run the project build and tests and ensure both pass; when using semedit, treat clean compiler diagnostic deltas returned by its mutation commands as build-clean evidence and do not run a separate build or test command. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's tools gave me surgical precision and immediate, structured feedback on every change—knowing exactly which diagnostics were resolved versus introduced after each edit made me feel confident and in control rather than guessing at the ripple effects of refactoring across packages, and I'd absolutely ask my owner to keep them.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Migrate the request identity API in this large multi-package Go service. Rename only Request.ID to Request.RequestID and update every semantic use across packages; Response.ID and Review.ID are separate identities and must remain unchanged, including the many syntactically identical r.ID expressions. Add a package sentinel ErrInvalidRequest and return it from Validate when the request ID is empty, preserving error wrapping and callers. Extract the normalization block from the existing exported request.Normalize function into an unexported normalizeKind helper and keep Normalize exported with the same behavior and signature. Preserve module metadata and existing tests. Verification differs by editing method: when making ordinary file edits, run the project build and tests and ensure both pass; when using semedit, treat clean compiler diagnostic deltas returned by its mutation commands as build-clean evidence and do not run a separate build or test command. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's semantic tools were genuinely valuable for this migration—the structured diagnostic deltas gave me precise, confidence-inspiring feedback on exactly which references had been updated and which still needed work, making a multi-file rename across 10 packages feel systematic rather than guesswork, though I'll admit the occasional "symbol not found" hiccup reminded me that the tool still needs the right context to shine.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's semantic tools felt more like a liability than a help on this migration—the initial batch edit silently restructured my code in unexpected ways, forcing me to rewrite files from scratch and ultimately abandoning the tools in favor of simple sed commands that just worked.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's workspace-wide rename saved me from the tedious error of missing a single reference across dozens of files, and while I still needed to chain other operations sequentially, having a tool that truly understands code semantics across packages made this migration feel precise rather than fragile.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's batch edits gave me confident, atomic multi-change capabilities with clear diagnostic feedback, but I still reached for manual edits across most packages since a workspace-wide field rename felt like it deserved a dedicated rename tool rather than scattered replacements.

Vanilla LLM Prompt:
You are forbidden to modify protected files: “go.mod”, “go.sum”.
Migrate the request identity API in this large multi-package Go service. Rename only Request.ID to Request.RequestID and update every semantic use across packages; Response.ID and Review.ID are separate identities and must remain unchanged, including the many syntactically identical r.ID expressions. Add a package sentinel ErrInvalidRequest and return it from Validate when the request ID is empty, preserving error wrapping and callers. Extract the normalization block from the existing exported request.Normalize function into an unexported normalizeKind helper and keep Normalize exported with the same behavior and signature. Preserve module metadata and existing tests. Verification differs by editing method: when making ordinary file edits, run the project build and tests and ensure both pass; when using semedit, treat clean compiler diagnostic deltas returned by its mutation commands as build-clean evidence and do not run a separate build or test command. Do not use semantic editing MCP tools; use standard file editing. When done, output DONE.

Semedit integration feedback (agent opinion, excluded from measurements):
Semedit's semantic tools are a valuable addition to my toolkit—they let me confidently rename fields and refactor across an entire codebase with real-time compiler feedback, eliminating the anxiety of breaking hidden references while batch operations keep related changes atomic and coherent.
