This looks great, thanks for building and sharing it.

Interested folks may also want to check out ast-grep:

ast-grep is great too, we've learned a lot from it. If you like yaml, you should definitely try ast-grep.

The main area GritQL shines is in taking simpler transformation patterns and composing them into complex migrations. For example, the OpenAI migration was built by incrementally handling the different edge cases we've seen in the wild: https://github.com/getgrit/stdlib/blob/main/.grit/patterns/p...

Consider linking this and other complex examples in your readme, with before/after blocks to demonstrate the power of your software.

I've spent the last 6 months building a static analyzer that mostly uses ASTs and couldn't understand what you were offering after skimming the readme until I saw this link.

Now I'm thinking of how I could integrate something like this into my analyzer to simplify the implementation of some of the simpler rules.

Thanks for the feedback, we're going to link to more complex examples.

Let me know if I can be helpful with integrating GritQL.

thanks for mentioning ast-grep!
