💡 Usage Examples

Autonomous Coding Agent

const { AgentBooster } = require('agent-booster');
const booster = new AgentBooster();

// Example: Agent applies multiple transformations in sequence
async function autonomousRefactor(files) {
  const transformations = [
    { task: 'Add error handling', confidence: 0.9, latency: 0 },
    { task: 'Add TypeScript types', confidence: 0.8, latency: 1 },
    { task: 'Modernize syntax', confidence: 0.85, latency: 0 },
  ];

  for (const file of files) {
    for (const transform of transformations) {
      const result = await booster.apply({
        code: file.content,
        edit: transform.desiredCode,
        language: 'typescript'
      });

      if (result.success) {
        file.content = result.output;
        console.log(`✅ ${transform.task} (${result.latency}ms)`);
      }
    }
  }

  // Total time: ~12ms for 12 edits (vs 4.2 seconds with LLM API)
}

Real-Time IDE Assistance

// VSCode extension: Apply code suggestions instantly
async function applySuggestion(document, edit) {
  const result = await booster.apply({
    code: document.getText(),
    edit: edit.newCode,
    language: document.languageId
  });

  if (result.confidence > 0.7) {
    // Apply edit immediately - no 500ms wait!
    await document.applyEdit(result.output);
  }
  // Latency: 0-13ms (imperceptible to user)
}

Batch Code Migration

// Convert 1000 files from JavaScript to TypeScript
const files = await glob('src/**/*.js');

const results = await Promise.all(
  files.map(async (file) => {
    const code = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf-8');
    return booster.apply({
      code,
      edit: addTypeScriptTypes(code),
      language: 'typescript'
    });
  })
);

// Completes in ~1 second (vs 6 minutes with LLM API)
// Costs: $0 (vs $10 with LLM API)

Multi-Language Support

  language: 'rust'
});

// Go
await booster.apply({
  code: 'func Add(a int, b int) int { return a + b }',
  edit: 'func Add(a, b int) int { return a + b }',
  language: 'go'
});

Configuration

);

console.log(result.merged_code);
console.log(`Confidence: ${result.confidence}`);
</script>

📊 Performance Testing: How Fast Is It Really?

We tested Agent Booster against Morph LLM (a popular LLM-based code editing API) using 12 real-world code transformations. Here's what we found:

The Bottom Line

Agent Booster won every single test - 12 out of 12 - while being 352x faster on average.

Think of it like this: If Morph LLM takes 6 minutes to process your code, Agent Booster does it in 1 second. Same accuracy, dramatically faster.

Detailed Results

We measured these 12 transformations with both systems:

What does this mean? If you're building an AI coding agent that makes 100 code changes, Morph LLM takes 35 seconds. Agent Booster takes 0.1 seconds. That's the difference between your agent feeling sluggish vs instant.

Performance by Task Type

Different types of code changes have different performance characteristics:

Why is Agent Booster so fast? It uses template-based pattern matching and similarity algorithms instead of calling an external LLM API. The code never leaves your computer, and processing happens at CPU speed.

Try It Yourself

Want to verify these results? Run the benchmarks on your own machine:

# Clone the repo and install dependencies
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/agent-booster.git
cd agent-booster
npm install

# Run the same tests we used
cd benchmarks
node compare-vs-morphllm.js      # Head-to-head comparison
node test-template-optimization.js # Template performance
node test-multilanguage.js        # Multi-language support

All test data and results are in the benchmarks/ directory.

🌍 Which Programming Languages Are Supported?

Agent Booster works with 8 programming languages out of the box. Here's how well it performs with each:

Language Performance

Overall: 91% success rate across all languages - Agent Booster correctly applies 91 out of 100 edits across all supported languages.

What Do These Numbers Mean?

• Success Rate: How often Agent Booster successfully applies the edit (100% = always works)
• Confidence Score: How certain Agent Booster is about the change (higher = more confident)
• Excellent (100% success): Ready for production use
• Good (88% success): Works for most cases, may need review for complex edits

Example: Multi-Language Usage

// JavaScript - Add error handling
await booster.apply({
  code: 'JSON.parse(data)',
  edit: 'try { JSON.parse(data) } catch (e) { console.error(e) }',
  language: 'javascript'
});

// Python - Add type hints
await booster.apply({
  code: 'def process(items):\n    return items',
  edit: 'def process(items: list) -> list:\n    return items',
  language: 'python'
});

// Rust - Add return type
await booster.apply({
  code: 'fn calculate(x: i32) { x * 2 }',
  edit: 'fn calculate(x: i32) -> i32 { x * 2 }',
  language: 'rust'
});

Want more languages? Language support is extensible. See MULTILANGUAGE_SUPPORT.md for details on adding new languages.

🏗️ How Does It Work? (Architecture Explained Simply)

Agent Booster uses a smart two-phase approach to apply code changes. Think of it like having two different strategies, trying the fastest one first:

Phase 1: Template Recognition (The Fast Path)

What happens: Agent Booster first checks if your code change matches one of 7 common patterns it knows really well.

Example patterns it recognizes:

• Wrapping code in try-catch for error handling
• Adding if (!variable) null checks
• Converting function to async function
• Adding TypeScript types to classes

Speed: 0-1 milliseconds (instant) Confidence: 80-90% (very confident)

Your Code + Your Edit
    ↓
Does this match a known pattern?
    ↓
YES → Apply template instantly (0-1ms)

Why is this so fast? Agent Booster doesn't need to analyze your code deeply - it just recognizes the pattern and applies it. Like a keyboard shortcut vs typing everything manually.

Phase 2: Similarity Matching (The Smart Fallback)

What happens: If Phase 1 doesn't find a matching template, Agent Booster analyzes your code more carefully:

1. Parse - Break your code into logical chunks (functions, classes, etc.)
2. Compare - Find which chunk is most similar to your edit
3. Merge - Intelligently apply your edit to that chunk

Speed: 1-13 milliseconds (still very fast) Confidence: 50-85% (good confidence)

Your Code
    ↓
Parse into chunks (functions, classes, etc.)
    ↓
Find most similar chunk to your edit
    ↓
Apply edit using smart merge strategy

Why is this necessary? Not every code change fits a template. This handles the unusual cases while still being 27-352x faster than LLM APIs.

What Powers This?

Binary sizes:

• Core library: 613KB (tiny!)
• WASM binary: 1.3MB (includes all languages)

The key insight: By handling common patterns with templates (Phase 1) and falling back to smart similarity matching (Phase 2), Agent Booster gets both speed AND flexibility.
