You can already sort of do this by asking it to write a script to do the refactor. Claude sometimes suggests this on its own to me even.

But obviously sometimes larger refactors aren't easy to implement in bash.

Right - and ideally, after writing the script to do the task, it could discard all the tokens involved in writing the script.
