First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.\n\nSource: OpenCLI\n"},"fit":{"bestFor":"find and replace, code mods, and regex-lite edits from the terminal.","useThisIf":"You need productivity workflows in both local dev and CI.","skipIf":"You don't work with productivity workflows.","whatHappensNext":"Run `sd 'foo' 'bar' file.txt` and see what comes back."},"capabilities":{"agentFriendly":true,"supportsJsonOutput":false,"supportsNonInteractive":true,"supportsDryRun":false,"requiresAuth":false,"requiresNetwork":false,"ciFriendly":true,"localFirst":false,"destructivePotential":"high"},"taxonomy":{"useCases":["Find and replace","Code mods","Regex-lite edits"],"aliases":["sed replacement"],"keywords":["replace text files"],"tags":["builder","agent-friendly"]},"links":{"website":"https://github.com/chmln/sd","github":"https://github.com/chmln/sd","docs":"https://github.com/chmln/sd","opencli":"https://opencli.co/cli/sd","markdown":"https://opencli.co/cli/sd/agent.md","json":"https://opencli.co/cli/sd.json"},"metrics":{"githubStars":7182,"latestRelease":"2026-02-25T19:26:21Z","license":"MIT","metricLabel":"Homebrew installs (30d)","metricValue":1249,"metricSource":"homebrew","metricAsOf":"2026-06-08T11:00:44.007Z"}}
