AST-Grep Code Search

Acerca de

Empowers Claude to perform advanced code exploration by translating natural language into precise ast-grep rules, enabling structural matching that goes far beyond simple text-based searches. This skill provides a comprehensive framework for identifying specific language constructs, finding complex patterns like unhandled async functions, and auditing large codebases for architectural consistency. It guides users through the full lifecycle of structural analysis—from defining patterns and inspecting AST nodes with debugging tools to executing high-performance scans across entire repositories.

Características Principales

• Relational rule creation for deep subtree traversal
• 2 GitHub stars
• Translation of natural language into structural AST patterns
• Composite logic composition using all, any, and not operators
• AST inspection and debugging using the --debug-query tool

Casos de Uso

• Auditing large repositories for specific language constructs or structural anti-patterns
• Locating complex code patterns like async functions missing error handling blocks
• Performing precise architectural searches that traditional text-based tools cannot handle
