What problem does it solve?
Rapidly locating files or directories by name in large project workspaces is time-consuming and error-prone when done manually; this Skill provides a fast, programmatic way to discover matching paths using substring matching.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Case-insensitive substring matching: Find files and directories whose names contain the provided pattern regardless of letter case.
- Scoped search with limits: Search within a specified relative path, limit traversal to five directory levels, and cap results to 50 matches to keep results focused.
- Use Case: Quickly find all test files, configuration files, or README variations across a repository when preparing refactors, audits, or bulk edits.
Quick Start
Search the workspace for files whose names contain 'config' in the src directory by running search_files with pattern config and path src.
