Solve the "old_string not unique" problem by matching code structure instead of exact text, enabling robust refactoring across formatting variations and language constructs.
Provide an ast-grep pattern to locate all usages of a target function and refactor them with the new signature.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Structural code search resolves the "old_string not unique" error by matching AST-based patterns to locate code by structure rather than exact text, enabling safe refactoring across formatting variations.
AST-based pattern matching locates function calls, imports, and class patterns by syntax structure using metavariables like $VAR and $$STMT, reducing false positives compared to literal text search.
Yes, structural search operates across multi-language codebases including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Go, requiring explicit language targeting with the -l flag to ensure precise syntax parsing.
You can locate and refactor function calls by providing an ast-grep pattern to find all target usages and applying transformations that update calls, imports, and definitions while preserving behavior.
Yes, structural code search supports non-interactive search-and-refactor workflows, allowing you to compose transformations that locate function definitions and apply updates automatically across the codebase.
