Can it search for text inside files?

Absolutely. It uses a 'Deep Content Search' strategy via grep to find specific phrases, topics, or code snippets within the content of your files.

How are the search results ranked?

Results are ranked using a scoring system that considers keyword matches, file recency, directory location, and whether the file is featured in a curated README index.

Does it respect directory permissions?

Yes, it is designed to check for RULE.md files in each directory to ensure it follows governance rules and only accesses content that is explicitly permitted.

How does this skill differ from standard file searching?

Unlike basic searches, this skill uses a tiered strategy starting with human-curated README indexes for speed and relevance, before falling back to pattern matching and deep grep searches.

Content Management

Navigates and searches complex knowledge bases using multi-layered strategies including README indexes, pattern matching, and deep content analysis.

About

This skill empowers Claude to efficiently explore and retrieve information from large documentation sets or knowledge bases by implementing a tiered search approach. It intelligently switches between structured navigation through README files, glob-based pattern matching for filenames, and recursive grep searches for specific content. By prioritizing human-curated indexes and respecting directory-level governance rules (RULE.md), it ensures that users find the most relevant, up-to-date information while maintaining strict data privacy and access control within the filesystem.

Key Features

Intelligent result ranking based on keyword relevance, recency, location, and README curation.
Multi-strategy search utilizing structured navigation, glob patterns, and deep content grep.
1 GitHub stars
Rich metadata output including file paths, modification dates, and contextual content snippets.
Governance-aware exploration that respects RULE.md access permissions and privacy constraints.
Interactive refinement options to narrow down results or expand search scope dynamically.

Use Cases

Finding specific technical notes or research papers within a vast, nested directory structure.
Locating files modified within a specific timeframe or matching complex naming conventions.
Identifying all occurrences of a specific concept or code snippet across an entire knowledge base.
