ast-grep-agent-skill is a Claude Code plugin that supplies a skill marketplace for ast-grep structural code search, rules, and refactoring.
About
ast-grep-agent-skill is a Claude Code plugin that distributes a marketplace of skills centered on ast-grep, the structural search tool that matches code by syntax and rules instead of fragile regular expressions. developers install it when they need to find every instance of a pattern—hooks misuse, deprecated APIs, import shapes—across a growing repo and then drive refactors with confidence. The catalog description emphasizes codebases, pattern-matching, queries, and refactoring guides, which fits shipping discipline: review passes, mechanical migrations, and audit-style searches before release. It is agent-facing tooling: skills teach Claude how to write and run ast-grep rules, not a hosted SaaS dashboard. Compared with plain ripgrep in the terminal, you gain abstract-syntax precision at the cost of learning rule syntax. One plugin in the bundle keeps install simple; you browse skills for structural search workflows rather than installing a loose script collection. Best paired with Claude Code during code review and pre-release cleanup on TypeScript, JavaScript, and other ast-grep-supported languages.

What it does
Run syntax-aware structural search and refactors via ast-grep skills from a Claude Code marketplace when grep and regex miss real code shape.
Who is it for?
Best when you use Claude Code and routinely audit or migrate patterns across many files before shipping.
Skip if: Greenfield prototypes with almost no code to search, or teams that only need occasional literal string grep.
What you get
After install, your agent can run ast-grep-backed structural queries and refactors during review instead of manual search-and-replace hunts.
