This Skill lets you view and search files in a read-only mode, reducing the risk of accidental edits while saving time when auditing or exploring code and docs.
Open a file like "README.md" and search for the term "TODO" across the repository without making changes.

Use grep to locate patterns across your workspace and return matching lines with surrounding context. This lets you find occurrences without opening each file manually, ideal for auditing configuration keys or tracking TODO comments across a codebase.
Yes, read-only file access prevents accidental edits while you inspect code, documentation, or configuration data. This is especially useful when auditing sensitive files or exploring unfamiliar codebases where changes could cause problems.
Glob locates files by pattern and produces a list of matching file paths. Use this to quickly identify all configuration files, test suites, or other groups of files without manually browsing directories.
Combine glob to find all config files and grep to search for specific keys or values, all in read-only mode. This workflow reduces risk of accidental edits while verifying configuration integrity across your workspace.
Read-only access and grep work with any text-based file format—configuration files, source code, documentation, logs, and plain text. Binary files are not supported for grep searches, though file paths can still be located via glob.
AcosmiLocates regex matches across workspace files with file-type filtering and line numbers.
amoslee2026Search wiki/cbb for Common Building Blocks matching a given pattern and returns their names and paths.
