Feel free to try. Here’s the library I use: https://nymph.io/
It’s open source, and all the docs and code are available at that link and on GitHub. I always ask it to make a note entity, which is just incredibly simple. Basically the same thing as the ToDo example.
The reason I use this library (other than that I wrote it, so I know it really well) is that it isn’t widely known and there aren’t many example projects of it on GitHub, so the LLM has to be able to actually read and understand the docs and code in order to properly use it. For something like React, there are a million examples online, so for basic things, the LLM isn’t really understanding anything, it’s just making something similar to its training data. That’s not how actual high level programming works, so making it follow an API it isn’t already trained on is a good way to test if it is near the same abilities as an actual entry level SWE.
I just tested it again and it made 9 mistakes. I had to explain each mistake and what it should be before it finally gave me code that would work. It’s not good code, but it would at least work. It would make a mistake, I would tell it how to fix it, then it would make a new mistake. And keep in mind, this was for a very simple entity definition.
