Performs sophisticated structural code searches and architectural analysis using Abstract Syntax Tree patterns.
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.
