moesniper 0.7.8

Escape-proof precision file editing — Python bindings for moesniper

sniper-py

Python bindings for moesniper — escape-proof precision file editor for LLM agents.

Installation

pip install sniper-py

Overview

sniper-py provides native Python bindings to the moesniper Rust CLI — an escape-proof precision file editor designed for LLM agents. All file edits are:

• Hex-encoded to prevent shell corruption
• Atomic (temp file + rename — never inconsistent)
• Tracked via automatic backups and multi-step undo
• Paced with metabolic resource guards to prevent runaway edits

Usage

from sniper import splice

# Replace lines 5-5 with hex-encoded content
result = splice("file.rs", start=5, end=5, hex_content="68656c6c6f")
print(result.status)  # "ok"
print(result.line_shift)  # 0

Features

Feature	Description
Hex-encoded payloads	All content is hex strings, zero shell injection risk
Atomic writes	Files are never in an inconsistent state during edit
Multi-step undo	Each edit creates a backup; undo restores previous state
Dry-run preview	Preview diffs before applying changes
Indentation safety	Validates and auto-corrects indentation on edits
Resource pacing	Built-in metabolic guards prevent runaway edits
