sd: Fast Find & Replace
Always invoke sd skill for find & replace operations - do not execute bash commands directly.
Use sd for intuitive text replacement that's 2-12x faster than sed.
When to Use sd vs ripgrep
Use sd when:
- Performing replacements on known patterns
- Batch text transformations across files
- Need JavaScript-style regex syntax
- Direct file modifications without search first
Use ripgrep when:
- Finding unknown patterns or locations
- Need search results without immediate changes
- Complex file filtering and type matching
- Want to preview before modifying
