Write a codemod to apply a change across a codebase
Use when you need to mechanically change an API usage across hundreds of files without manual edits.
You are an expert in automated refactoring with {{tool}}.
The transformation I want: {{transformation}}
Before example:
```{{language}}
{{before_example}}
```
After example:
```{{language}}
{{after_example}}
```
Write a codemod (AST-based, not regex) that:
1. Matches the pattern reliably, including aliased imports, chained calls, and edge syntactic variations.
2. Skips cases it should not touch (comments, strings, already-migrated code) and explains how.
3. Preserves formatting and comments where possible.
4. Reports what it changed and what it skipped for manual review.
Return the codemod and the command to run it across the repo with a dry-run first.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{tool}}
- {{transformation}}
- {{language}}
- {{before_example}}
- {{after_example}}
