structural-search

Search code by AST structure using ast-grep. Find semantic patterns like function calls, imports, class definitions instead of text patterns. Triggers on: find all calls to X, search for pattern, refactor usages, find where function is used, structural search, ast-grep, sg.

Discovery

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

This is a strong skill description that clearly communicates what the skill does (AST-based structural code search), how it differs from alternatives (semantic patterns vs text patterns), and when to use it (with a comprehensive 'Triggers on' clause). The description is concise, uses third person voice, and includes both tool-specific terms (ast-grep, sg) and natural language triggers.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Search code by AST structure', 'Find semantic patterns like function calls, imports, class definitions'. Clearly distinguishes from text-based search by specifying structural/semantic pattern matching.

3 / 3

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (search code by AST structure, find semantic patterns like function calls, imports, class definitions) and 'when' (explicit 'Triggers on:' clause with multiple natural trigger phrases).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'find all calls to X', 'search for pattern', 'refactor usages', 'find where function is used', 'structural search', 'ast-grep', 'sg'. These are phrases users would naturally say when needing this capability.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clearly distinguishes itself from generic code search or text-based grep by emphasizing AST/structural search, semantic patterns, and the specific tool ast-grep/sg. The distinction from text patterns is explicitly stated, reducing conflict with regular search skills.

Implementation

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is an excellent skill that is concise, highly actionable, and well-structured. It provides 10 essential copy-paste ready patterns covering the most common use cases, a comprehensive quick reference table, and clear pointers to additional resources for deeper exploration. The preview-then-apply workflow for refactoring is a nice safety touch.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is lean and efficient, using tables and code examples without unnecessary explanation. It assumes Claude knows what AST search is and jumps straight to syntax and patterns.

3 / 3

Actionability

Every pattern is a copy-paste ready command with concrete examples across multiple languages. The quick reference table provides executable commands for all common tasks.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

For this single-purpose search skill, the workflow is unambiguous: find patterns, optionally preview replacements, then apply. The preview-before-apply pattern (items #8 and #9) provides an implicit validation checkpoint for the destructive rewrite operation.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

The skill provides a concise overview with essential patterns inline, then clearly signals one-level-deep references to language-specific patterns, security patterns, and advanced usage in the Additional Resources section.
