What it does

The exact jq command for the JSON in front of you. Describe the data and what you want from it, or paste a sample. The skill writes a working command that picks fields, filters records, renames keys, flattens arrays, groups items and totals numbers. It works for the output of cloud tools, GitHub, container tools and log files, and it can place the command inside a shell script. If you already have a long, cryptic expression, it explains what each part does. Examples show the input and the expected output so you can check the result before relying on it. You need jq installed on your computer.

You give it

A sample of the JSON
What you want to pull out or change
The tool that produced it (optional)

You get

A working jq command
A line-by-line explanation
The expected output on your sample
A version ready to paste into a script

Use it when

An API returned a huge blob and you only want three fields.
You need to sum values or group records from a JSON file.
You inherited a jq one-liner and cannot read it.
You want to reshape JSON inside a bash script.
