Go Surgeon FAQs

Question 1

Can Go Surgeon replace an LLM agent's generic file manipulation tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Go Surgeon functions as an MCP server. It advertises a specialized toolkit to the agent, instructing it to use AST-based operations for `.go` files instead of generic commands like `Edit`, `Read`, `Grep`, or `Write`.

Question 2

What kind of specific Go code edits can Go Surgeon perform?

Accepted Answer

It supports a wide range of atomic operations including creating, updating, or deleting files, functions, structs, and interfaces. It also offers surgical `patch_*` tools for in-place edits to function bodies, struct fields, or interface methods without requiring re-emission of entire declarations.

Question 3

What is Go Surgeon and how does it help LLM agents?

Accepted Answer

Go Surgeon is an AST-based tool that empowers LLM agents with precise, deterministic capabilities for editing and refactoring Go code. It replaces generic file operations, preventing common errors associated with text-level patching.

Question 4

How does Go Surgeon prevent broken builds and ensure valid Go code?

Accepted Answer

It performs atomic, structural edits by AST identifier, guaranteeing syntactically valid Go. Crucially, it automatically manages Go imports and formatting (`goimports`) on every code mutation, eliminating a major source of agent-induced errors.

Question 5

How does Go Surgeon handle Go interfaces and their generated mocks?

Accepted Answer

Go Surgeon keeps interfaces and their generated mocks in sync automatically. It can regenerate mocks, use compile-time assertions to block drift, and provides tools for adding, updating, deleting, or extracting interfaces while managing their corresponding mocks.
