You might find it useful for markdown as well, especially if you add support for section-based addressing (e.g. cat or replace a section at a time). Section-based addresses are nice because they tend to be stable across versions.
replyGreat idea - Just implemented this.

benchmarks vs grep?
replytilth isn’t trying to replace grep for raw text search — for that, it wraps ripgrep internally so perf is comparable. It’s about reducing round-trips and giving the agent a verified edit workflow, not faster search.
replyInstead of cat + grep + manual line counting, one tool call returns a structural outline of a large file, lets you drill into sections, and since this last update also returns hashline-anchored output that an edit tool can target.
well yah, that's what I mean how better is it versus cat + grep + manual line counting. Agents tend to perform worse with niche tools
replyThank you for this question - I'm building out a benchmark now. Initial results are very promising, will update you once it's done!
