SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

JARVIS File Search eliminates the manual slog of locating files scattered across projects and folders by building a local index and enabling fast search by name, path, metadata, or content.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lightning-fast indexing and intelligent file discovery across documents, code, images, and more.
  • Content search: full-text search within text-based files to uncover API keys, TODOs, and references.
  • Recent files and file operations: quickly access recently used items and perform actions like open, reveal, or copy path.
  • Use Case: Need to locate a misplaced script across multiple projects and copy its path for a teammate — this skill finds it in seconds.

Quick Start

Install the skill, let it index your configured directories on first use, and start searching with natural-language prompts like "Find my React project files".

Frequently Asked Questions about file-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for files by content across multiple local project directories?▼

You can locate misplaced scripts or documents by indexing local directories and searching by file name, path, metadata, or content. This skill builds a local JSON-based index in your home directory to accelerate discovery across multiple projects.

What is the fastest way to find recently used files and copy their paths?▼

The fastest way to find recent files and copy paths is using a tool with recent-files tracking and keyboard-friendly file operations. This skill exposes a recent_files tool alongside file_operations to quickly reveal, open, or copy paths.

Can I use natural language prompts to find specific project files like my React code?▼

Yes, you can use natural-language prompts like "Find my React project files" to locate specific code or documents. The skill processes these prompts against its local index to retrieve matching files quickly.

Does local file indexing work without sending my document data to external servers?▼

Local file indexing works entirely on your machine without sending data externally. This skill runs locally and stores a JSON-based index under your user home directory, keeping document, code, and image discovery private.

What are the limitations of content search for text-based files across large directories?▼

A limitation of content search across large directories is the initial indexing overhead required before discovery accelerates. This skill mitigates wait times by storing a local JSON index, but first-time indexing may take time depending on directory size.
