Does the search respect my .gitignore settings?

Yes, both fd and ripgrep respect .gitignore rules by default, ensuring that build artifacts and dependency folders like node_modules are automatically excluded.

Is interactive fuzzy finding supported?

Yes, if fzf is installed, you can use interactive search patterns to preview and select files directly within your terminal workflow.

What system dependencies are required for this skill?

This skill requires fd and ripgrep (rg) to be installed on your system. It also optionally supports fzf for interactive selection and previews.

Can I search for specific programming languages?

Absolutely. You can use the '-e' flag with fd for extensions or the '-t' flag with ripgrep to target specific file types like Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript.

How does this compare to standard find and grep?

Tools like fd and ripgrep are significantly faster than traditional find and grep, provide more user-friendly syntax, and are optimized for large-scale code repositories.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Streamlines codebase navigation and content discovery using high-performance search utilities like fd, ripgrep, and fzf.

Acerca de

This skill empowers Claude with the speed and precision of modern command-line search tools, allowing it to navigate complex repositories with ease. By integrating fd for file discovery and ripgrep (rg) for deep content searching, the skill enables Claude to filter by file type, respect .gitignore rules, and execute context-aware queries. Whether searching for specific patterns across thousands of files or using fzf for interactive selection, this toolset ensures that relevant code context is retrieved instantly, significantly reducing manual browsing time.
