📁 Filesystem Management

Advanced filesystem operations for AI agents. Comprehensive file and directory operations with intelligent filtering, searching, and batch processing capabilities.

Features

📋 Smart File Listing

Advanced Filtering - Filter by file types, patterns, size, and date
Recursive Traversal - Deep directory scanning with depth control
Rich Formatting - Table, tree, and JSON output formats
Sort Options - By name, size, date, or type

🔍 Powerful Search

Pattern Matching - Glob patterns and regex support
Content Search - Full-text search within files
Multi-criteria - Combine filename and content searches
Context Display - Show matching lines with context

🔄 Batch Operations

Safe Copying - Pattern-based file copying with validation
Dry Run Mode - Preview operations before execution
Progress Tracking - Real-time operation progress
Error Handling - Graceful failure recovery

🌳 Directory Analysis

Tree Visualization - ASCII tree structure display
Statistics - File counts, size distribution, type analysis
Space Analysis - Identify large files and directories
Performance Metrics - Operation timing and optimization

Quick Start

# List files with filtering
filesystem list --path ./src --recursive --filter "*.js"

# Search for content
filesystem search --pattern "TODO" --path ./src --content

# Batch copy with safety
filesystem copy --pattern "*.log" --to ./backup/ --dry-run

# Show directory tree
filesystem tree --path ./ --depth 3

# Analyze directory structure
filesystem analyze --path ./logs --stats

Command Reference

`filesystem list`

Advanced file and directory listing with filtering options.

Options: - --path, -p <dir> - Target directory (default: current) - --recursive, -r - Include subdirectories - --filter, -f <pattern> - Filter files by pattern - --details, -d - Show detailed information - --sort, -s <field> - Sort by name|size|date - --format <type> - Output format: table|json|list

`filesystem search`

Search files by name patterns or content.

Options: - --pattern <pattern> - Search pattern (glob or regex) - --path, -p <dir> - Search directory - --content, -c - Search file contents - --context <lines> - Show context lines - --include <pattern> - Include file patterns - --exclude <pattern> - Exclude file patterns

`filesystem copy`

Batch copy files with pattern matching and safety checks.

Options: - --pattern <glob> - Source file pattern - --to <dir> - Destination directory - --dry-run - Preview without executing - --overwrite - Allow file overwrites - --preserve - Preserve timestamps and permissions

`filesystem tree`

Display directory structure as a tree.

Options: - --path, -p <dir> - Root directory - --depth, -d <num> - Maximum depth - --dirs-only - Show directories only - --size - Include file sizes - --no-color - Disable colored output

`filesystem analyze`

Analyze directory structure and generate statistics.

Options: - --path, -p <dir> - Target directory - --stats - Show detailed statistics - --types - Analyze file types - --sizes - Show size distribution - --largest <num> - Show N largest files

Installation

# Clone or install the skill
cd ~/.clawdbot/skills
git clone <filesystem-skill-repo>

# Or install via ClawdHub
clawdhub install filesystem

# Make executable
chmod +x filesystem/filesystem

Configuration

Customize behavior via config.json:

{
  "defaultPath": "./",
  "maxDepth": 10,
  "defaultFilters": ["*"],
  "excludePatterns": ["node_modules", ".git", ".DS_Store"],
  "outputFormat": "table",
  "dateFormat": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss",
  "sizeFormat": "human",
  "colorOutput": true
}

Examples

Development Workflow

# Find all JavaScript files in src
filesystem list --path ./src --recursive --filter "*.js" --details

# Search for TODO comments
filesystem search --pattern "TODO|FIXME" --path ./src --content --context 2

# Copy all logs to backup
filesystem copy --pattern "*.log" --to ./backup/logs/ --preserve

# Analyze project structure
filesystem tree --path ./ --depth 2 --size

System Administration

# Find large files
filesystem analyze --path /var/log --sizes --largest 10

# List recent files
filesystem list --path /tmp --sort date --details

# Clean old temp files
filesystem list --path /tmp --filter "*.tmp" --older-than 7d

Safety Features

Path Validation - Prevents directory traversal attacks
Permission Checks - Verifies read/write access before operations
Dry Run Mode - Preview destructive operations
Backup Prompts - Suggests backups before overwrites
Error Recovery - Graceful handling of permission errors
