Extracts and transforms specific fields from YAML configuration files using yq to minimize context usage.
The yq skill enables efficient querying and manipulation of YAML files directly within Claude Code, preventing the need to read large files in their entirety. By extracting only the necessary data—such as specific ports from docker-compose files or steps from GitHub Actions—it saves up to 95% of token context. It integrates seamlessly with other CLI tools like fzf and sd to provide a powerful pipeline for managing complex infrastructure-as-code and configuration files, ensuring faster processing and lower token consumption during development tasks.
