file-search

Source: https://github.com/aipoch/medical-research-skills

When to Use

• You need to list files matching a pattern (e.g., *.rs, *.md) across a project quickly.
• You want to find occurrences of a keyword/regex (e.g., TODO|FIXME) across one or more directories.
• You need contextual matches (lines before/after) to understand how a symbol or string is used.
• You want a faster, simpler replacement for typical find + grep pipelines.
• You need to narrow searches by file type (e.g., Rust-only) while scanning large repositories.

Key Features

• File name discovery via rg --files combined with --glob filters.
• Content search using regex patterns with high performance.
• Context output around matches (e.g., -C 3) for quick inspection.
• Optional type filtering (e.g., --type rust) to reduce noise.
• Simple pre-check workflow to ensure rg is available before running searches.
