Setup & Installation
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
What This Skill Does
Provides directory listing, file search, batch operations, and disk usage analysis using Unix shell commands. Covers standard tools (find, grep) and faster alternatives (fd, ripgrep). Includes patterns for recursive search, file type filtering, and safe batch delete workflows.
Consolidates common filesystem tasks into ready-to-run command patterns, including fd and ripgrep alternatives that outperform find and grep on large directories.
When to use it
- Finding all files of a specific type across a large project
- Searching source code for a keyword or regex pattern
- Cleaning up old log or temp files by age or size
- Analyzing which directories or file types consume the most disk space
- Batch renaming or moving files that match a naming pattern
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Find all .log files older than 30 days and delete them
- 1List matching files: find . -name '*.log' -mtime +30
- 2Review the list to confirm targets
- 3Run deletion: find . -name '*.log' -mtime +30 -delete
- 4Verify no matching files remain
All .log files older than 30 days removed, with a pre-delete review step to avoid accidental data loss
