Agreed. For the others, I asked Claude to write a structural edit tool: s-expressions only, insert/replace/... When passed 'tree' it prints a file like
:
then eg when passed 'replace 2.1 "(+ x y)"' it returns a new file (as a list of s-exprs).
I’ve been struggling with this. I use Clojure and clj-paren-repair has been helpful (https://github.com/bhauman/clojure-mcp-light/blob/main/src/c...), but it would be even better if the model could be taught to do structural editing, the same way I do in Emacs.
Do you have something in a public repository I can look at?
