Codemod Generator
You need to replace a pattern across 500 files. Find and replace won't cut it. This tool generates AST-based codemods that safely transform your code at scale.
One command. Zero config. Just works.
Quick Start
npx ai-codemod "convert class components to functional"
What It Does
- •Generates jscodeshift codemods for your specific transformation
- •Handles complex patterns like class to function conversions
- •Preserves formatting and comments
- •Works across entire codebases
Usage Examples
# Class to functional components npx ai-codemod "convert class components to functional" # Modernize code npx ai-codemod "replace lodash.get with optional chaining" # API migrations npx ai-codemod "migrate from moment to date-fns" # Framework upgrades npx ai-codemod "update React Router v5 to v6"
Best Practices
- •Test on a branch first - always run codemods on a fresh branch
- •Review the diff - spot check that transformations are correct
- •Run incrementally - do one file type at a time
- •Keep the codemod - save it for future use
When to Use This
- •Major framework or library upgrades
- •Enforcing new code patterns across the codebase
- •Deprecating old APIs in favor of new ones
- •Standardizing code style at scale

How It Works
Takes your plain English description of the transformation and generates a jscodeshift codemod script. The AI understands AST manipulation and outputs a codemod you can run with jscodeshift or babel.
