Fast Refactoring with MorphLLM

MorphLLM edit_file provides semantic code merging at 10,500+ tokens/sec with 98% accuracy.

When to Use edit_file

Key Features

• Semantic merge: Understands code structure, not just text
• Speed: 10,500 tok/s vs 180 tok/s streaming
• Accuracy: 98% success rate on edge cases
• dryRun: Preview changes before applying

Workflow

Standard Refactoring

Copy1. Use WarpGrep to find all locations needing change
2. For each file: call edit_file with changes
3. Verify with lint/test

High-Stakes Changes (dryRun)

Copy1. Call edit_file with dryRun: true
2. Review preview output
3. If approved, call again with dryRun: false

Parameters

Copypath: "/absolute/path/to/file"
code_edit: "changed lines with // ... existing code ... markers"
instruction: "brief description of changes"
dryRun: false (set true to preview)

Edit Format

Use // ... existing code ... markers for unchanged sections:

Copy// ... existing code ...
function updatedFunction() {
  // new implementation
}
// ... existing code ...

Common Patterns

Batch Error Handling

Copyinstruction: "Add error wrapping to all repository methods"
code_edit: Shows only changed functions with context markers

Import Updates

Copyinstruction: "Update imports from old-pkg to new-pkg"
code_edit: Shows import section with changes

Multi-Location Rename

Copyinstruction: "Rename getUserById to findUser throughout file"
code_edit: Shows all locations with changes

Tips

• Batch all edits to same file in one call
• Include enough context to locate changes precisely
• Preserve exact indentation in code_edit
• Use WarpGrep first to understand scope
• Run tests after each file to catch issues early
