Four tools turn a match set into a reshaped, reduced result in ONE call, so you stop doing grep → read → hand-aggregate over several turns. Reach for them the moment the question is "what are all the X" or "how many / which files X" or "rename X→Y everywhere" — not "where is X" (that's grep) and not "change this one spot" (that's edit).
Text Transforms is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/text-transforms/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when a task is FIND-then-reshape or FIND-then-tally rather than just find or just edit: extracting a value from every match (imports, routes, TODO owners), counting/grouping matches across a codebase, a project-wide string/regex rename, or reading one concern out of a huge file. Covers the extract, aggregate, replace and read_filter tools — the sed/awk/`rg -o`/ `sort | uniq -c` layer that sits between grep (find) and edit (change).
The Text Transforms Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 196,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
