What is CEDARScript?

CEDARScript (Concise Examination, Development, And Refactoring Script) is a domain-specific language designed to improve how AI coding assistants interact with codebases and communicate their code modification intentions. It provides a standardized way to express complex code modification and analysis operations, making it easier for AI-assisted development tools to understand and execute these tasks.

How to use it

1. Install Aider, if you haven't.
2. Now, simply use the --edit-format switch and select cedarscript:

aider --model gemini/gemini-1.5-flash-latest --edit-format cedarscript

Why use CEDARScript?

TL;DR: You can get higher success rates when compared to other edit formats.

1. Higher Success Rates: Significantly improves the performance of AI models in code refactoring tasks.
2. Cost-Effective Performance: Enables more affordable models to compete with top-tier options.
3. Standardized Communication: Provides a consistent format for AI-code interaction in coding tasks.
4. Enhanced Accuracy: Reduces errors and improves the quality of AI-generated code modifications.

Performance Comparison

CEDARScript has shown remarkable improvements in AI model performance for code refactoring:

Model	Format	Pass Rate	Well-Formed Cases	Syntax Errors	Indentation Errors	Cost	Avg. Time per case
Gemini 1.5 PRO	CEDARScript	77.5%	86.5%	4	3	26.2	29
Gemini 1.5 Flash	CEDARScript	76.4%	94.4%	3	5	0.68	14.7
Claude 3.5 Sonnet	diff	64.0%	76.4%	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
Gemini 1.5 PRO	diff-fenced	49.4%	7.9%	21	93	28.3	110.1

Notable Achievements:

• Gemini 1.5 PRO with CEDARScript outperformed both its diff-fenced format and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
• Most remarkably, the more cost-effective Gemini 1.5 Flash model, using CEDARScript, outperformed Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
  • It goes to show that even a more affordable model can surpass top-tier competitors when equipped with the right tools.

This suggests that CEDARScript can level the playing field, enabling more accessible AI models to compete with and even exceed the capabilities of more expensive options in certain coding tasks.
