File Search Skill

Use this skill to recursively search for files or file contents within a specified directory.

Workflow

  1. Identify the user's search criteria:
    • By name/extension pattern (e.g., "*.md")
    • By content (e.g., "contains the word 'auth'")
    • By metadata (e.g., "modified in the last 7 days", "larger than 10MB")
  2. Formulate the appropriate
    bash
    command:
    • Use
      find <dir> -name "*.ext" -type f
      to search by name.
    • Use
      grep -rn "pattern" <dir>
      or
      rg "pattern" <dir>
      (if ripgrep is available) to search by content.
    • Use
      find <dir> -mtime -7 -size +10M
      to search by metadata.
  3. Execute the command using the
    bash
    tool.
  4. Process the output and present the results clearly to the user.
