Filesystem Operations Tool

What Problem It Solves

When working through repositories, temp directories, or user data folders, file handling can become fragmented: find and grep may be slower than needed, batch copy, move, and rename tasks lack a consistent confirmation path, and directory size or file type distribution is hard to inspect quickly. This skill organizes filesystem operations into executable workflows, reducing context switching and manual command assembly.

How It Works

The skill focuses on five capability areas:
- Directory listing: basic and advanced listing help build a quick mental model of the directory structure.
- File search: locate files by name, content, or regular expression, with preferred use of faster tools such as fd and ripgrep.
- Batch operations: cover batch copy, move, delete, and rename, ideally with a target-file listing before applying changes.
- Directory analysis: inspect size distribution, file type statistics, and directory structure to understand space usage and organization.
- File metadata and preview: check file details and preview content before editing.

Boundaries

It fits routine development directories, build artifacts, logs, docs, and temporary file work, but it is not a full file sync, permission audit, or production data migration system. For rm, batch deletion, or system directories, prefer --dry-run, rm -i, or backups to avoid irreversible mistakes.
