Does this skill support dasel v2 syntax?

No, this skill specifically targets dasel v3, which introduced significant breaking changes in syntax, CLI flags, and subcommand structures compared to v2.

Can I use this to convert between different data formats?

Yes, dasel allows for seamless conversion between all supported formats (like JSON to YAML or CSV to TOML) using the input (-i) and output (-o) flags.

What formats are supported by this reference?

It provides complete support for JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, and INI.

How does dasel v3 handle file inputs compared to earlier versions?

In v3, the -f/--file flag was removed. Input is always read from stdin, requiring you to pipe file contents (e.g., cat file.json | dasel) into the tool.

How do I modify or delete values in dasel v3?

v3 replaced 'put' and 'delete' subcommands with inline assignment. You use the --root flag and specify modifications directly in the query, such as 'key = value' or by reconstructing objects to exclude keys.

开发者工具

Queries, modifies, and converts structured data across JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, HCL, and INI formats using dasel v3 syntax.

This skill provides a comprehensive reference for dasel v3, a powerful unified CLI tool designed to replace specialized utilities like jq, yq, and xmllint. It enables Claude to assist with complex data transformations, recursive filtering, and multi-format conversions using a single, consistent query language. By providing detailed syntax for selectors, functions, and format-specific patterns, this skill ensures accurate manipulation of configuration files and structured data directly within the development workflow, specifically tailored for the breaking changes introduced in the v3 release.
