About
This skill enables structural code search and refactoring using ast-grep for syntax-aware pattern matching instead of fragile text-based regex. It's ideal when you need language-aware detection, placeholder captures like `$VAR`, or AST-based transformations. Developers should use it over `rg` when working with code structure rather than plain text.
