I added a skill that leverages ast-grep for ast-safe replacement (the biggest pain is that some times claude will mess up the parens).

enables flexible, language-agnostic rules to identify complex code patterns. This leads to more sophisticated static analysis compared to regex-based linters.

This is actually what s nice about tools like ast-grep. The pattern language reads almost like the code itself so you can see the transformation right in front of you and reason about it.
