Try it in a small test task inside your agent workflow.
GritQL lets you search and rewrite code using simple patterns, without needing to understand complex AST details. It's like grep but smarter, and can automatically fix code across large repositories. You can start with any code snippet as a query and scale to millions of lines.
GritQL is a declarative query language designed for searching and modifying source code. It allows developers to write patterns that look like code snippets, making it easy to find and transform code without deep AST knowledge. Built in Rust with query optimization, it scales to repositories with over 10 million lines. GritQL includes a module system for reusing over 200 standard patterns from the Grit standard library, and supports multiple target languages including JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, JSON, Java, Terraform, Solidity, CSS, Markdown, YAML, Rust, Go, and SQL. It can be used as a CLI tool, integrated into CI pipelines for custom linting, or run in the Grit Studio playground. GritQL is ideal for large-scale refactoring, migration, and enforcing code standards.
Strong trust signals; still review the README and permissions before production use.
