+# Migrate from Chalk to Node.js util styleText
+
+## `chalk-to-util-styletext`
+
+This codemod aims to help you reduce external dependencies by transforming chalk method calls to use the native Node.js styling functionality. It will also handle automatic removal of the `chalk` package from the package.json.
+
+### Compatible Features:
+
+- Basic colors (red, green, blue, yellow, etc.)
+- Bright colors (redBright, greenBright, etc.)
+- Background colors (bgRed, bgGreen, etc.)
+- Text modifiers (bold, dim, italic, underline, strikethrough, etc.)
+- Style chaining via array syntax
+- Environment variable support (NO_COLOR, NODE_DISABLE_COLORS, FORCE_COLOR)
+
+### Non-Compatible Features:
+
+- Custom RGB colors (chalk.rgb(), chalk.hex())
+- 256-color palette (chalk.ansi256())
+- Template literal syntax (chalk...``)
+  -Advanced modifiers with limited terminal support (overline, blink, etc.)
+
+The source code for this codemod can be found in the [chalk-to-util-styletext directory](https://github.com/nodejs/userland-migrations/tree/main/recipes/chalk-to-util-styletext).
+
+You can find this codemod in the [Codemod Registry](https://app.codemod.com/registry/@nodejs/chalk-to-util-styletext).
+
+```bash
+npx codemod @nodejs/chalk-to-util-styletext
+```
+
+### Example:
+
+```js displayName="Before"
+import chalk from 'chalk';
+
+console.log(chalk.red('Error message'));
+
+console.log(chalk.red.bold('Important error'));
+
+const red = chalk.red;
+console.log(red('Error'));
+
+const boldBlue = chalk.blue.bold;
+console.log(boldBlue('Info'));
+```
+
+```js displayName="After"
+import { styleText } from 'node:util';
+
+console.log(styleText('red', 'Error message'));
+
+console.log(styleText(['red', 'bold'], 'Important error'));
+
+const red = text => styleText('red', text);
+console.log(red('Error'));
+
+const boldBlue = text => styleText(['blue', 'bold'], text);
+console.log(boldBlue('Info'));
+```
