elite-toolsElite CLI tooling for efficient shell operations with optimized token usage. Use when executing shell commands, traversing directories, or manipulating files...
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install bezkom/elite-toolsPrefer these modern CLI utilities over legacy POSIX tools (find, cat, sed, grep, awk, diff, man). They produce cleaner, more structured output and reduce token waste.
Note on binary names: On Debian/Ubuntu, some binaries are renamed to avoid conflicts: fd → fdfind, bat → batcat. On other distros they use their upstream names. Adapt accordingly.
| # | Tool | Replaces | Binary | Primary Use |
|---|------|----------|--------|-------------|
| 1 | fd | find | fdfind | Fast file discovery |
| 2 | bat | cat/less | batcat | File viewing with syntax highlighting |
| 3 | sd | sed | sd | Intuitive find & replace |
| 4 | ast-grep | grep/rg | sg | AST-based code search & rewrite |
| 5 | jc | awk/cut | jc | CLI output → JSON |
| 6 | gron | jq (exploration) | gron | JSON → greppable assignments |
| 7 | yq | sed on YAML | yq | YAML/JSON/XML/CSV processor |
| 8 | difftastic | diff | difft | Structural syntax-aware diffs |
| 9 | tealdeer | man | tldr | Concise command examples |
| 10 | html2text | raw HTML parsing | html2text | HTML → clean Markdown |

Use elite-tools to streamline CI/CD workflows by replacing legacy commands with faster, structured alternatives. For example, use fdfind for rapid file discovery in build directories and jc to parse CLI outputs into JSON for automated logging, reducing token usage and improving pipeline efficiency.
Leverage tools like yq for processing YAML/JSON configuration files and sd for efficient text transformations in data pipelines. This minimizes regex errors and token waste when manipulating large datasets or configuration files in shell scripts.
Replace traditional commands like find and grep with fdfind and ast-grep for faster system audits and log analysis. Use tealdeer for quick command references, enhancing productivity in managing servers and troubleshooting issues.
Utilize html2text to convert HTML files to clean Markdown for documentation and batcat for syntax-highlighted code reviews. This improves readability and reduces manual formatting efforts in content creation workflows.

💬 Integration Tip
Install tools via package managers like apt or brew, and adapt binary names (e.g., fdfind on Debian) to avoid conflicts. Use in scripts to replace legacy commands gradually for minimal disruption.
