mq – jq-like command-tool for Markdown processing

mq is a markdown processor that can filter markdown nodes by using jq-like syntax.

mq makes working with Markdown files as easy as jq makes working with JSON. It’s especially useful for:

  • LLM Workflows: Efficiently manipulate and process Markdown used in LLM prompts and outputs.
  • LLM Input Generation: Generate structured Markdown content optimized for LLM consumption, since Markdown serves as the primary input format for most language models.
  • Documentation Management: Extract, transform, and organize content across multiple documentation files.
  • Content Analysis: Quickly extract specific sections or patterns from Markdown documents.
  • Batch Processing: Apply consistent transformations across multiple Markdown files.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Slice and Filter: Extract specific parts of your Markdown documents with ease.
  • Map and Transform: Apply transformations to your Markdown content.
  • Command-line Interface: Simple and intuitive CLI for quick operations.
  • Extensibility: Easily extendable with custom functions.
  • Built-in support: Filter and transform content with many built-in functions and selectors.
  • REPL Support: Interactive command-line REPL for testing and experimenting.
  • IDE Support: VSCode Extension and Language Server Protocol (LSP) support for custom function development.
  • Debugger: Includes an experimental debugger (mq-dbg) for inspecting and stepping through mq queries interactively.
  • External Subcommands: Extend mq with custom subcommands by placing executable files starting with mq- in ~/.mq/bin/.
