serpl

name	serpl
description	Use this skill when the user wants to search and replace text across files interactively in the terminal — refactor code, rename symbols, or batch-edit with ripgrep-powered preview.

serpl Plugin

Terminal UI for search and replace across files, powered by ripgrep. A TUI alternative to VS Code's find-and-replace with per-match preview before applying changes.

Prerequisites

Requires ripgrep (rg) installed and on PATH.

Installation

cargo install serpl

Download binaries from GitHub Releases.

Basic Usage

# Launch interactive search/replace in current directory
serpl

# Limit to a path or glob
serpl ./src

Features

• Regex, case-sensitive, and whole-word matching
• Per-match preview before replace
• Ripgrep-speed file scanning
• Interactive confirmation for each replacement

Usage Examples

• "Find and replace this function name across the repo"
• "Rename this import in all TypeScript files"
• "Search for a regex pattern and preview matches before replacing"
