What it does

This skill teaches modern find-and-replace workflows using the sd CLI as a simpler, safer alternative to sed. It includes examples for single-file and multi-file replacements, capture groups, word-boundary patterns, and safe batch application using ripgrep (rg) to preview and list affected files before changes. The emphasis is on predictable, reviewable bulk edits with git-friendly verification.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to rename variables or functions across a codebase, update import paths, apply consistent text transformations, or perform safe bulk replacements during refactors. It is not for interactive text editing or large structural rewrites that require semantic code understanding.

What's included

Scripts: example commands and a safe batch workflow using rg + sd from the skills scripts directory
References: advanced-patterns.md in references for regex recipes and real-world examples
Instructions: concise usage patterns, escaping rules for special characters, tips to preview changes, and a recommended verify-and-commit workflow.

Compatible agents

Works well with developer-focused agents that can run shell commands, or any automation that can execute CLI tools like sd and rg for repository-wide text transformations.

Audit Summary

A reference/cheat-sheet skill for the 'sd' CLI tool (modern sed alternative). No scripts to run — purely a markdown doc with usage patterns, comparison tables, and tips. Well-organized content but thin on depth; the referenced advanced-patterns.md file is not included. Useful as a quick lookup but not unique or broadly valuable.

Watch Out

Requires 'sd' CLI to be installed (brew install sd or cargo install sd)
References ./references/advanced-patterns.md which is not bundled in the skill

Notes

Pure reference skill with no executable scripts. No security concerns whatsoever. The skill body is clean markdown with code examples only — nothing is executed or downloaded. Moderate usefulness since sd's own docs cover similar ground.
