What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by stbenjam/skillsaw in tests/fixtures/openclaw-merge-keys/fd-find/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use fd to locate files by name. It honors .gitignore, uses smart case, and defaults to the current directory.

Common invocations

  • fd config — find anything whose name contains "config"
  • fd -e md — find all markdown files
  • fd -H dotfile — include hidden files
  • fd --changed-within 1d — files modified in the last day

Tips

Combine with xargs or -x to run a command per result, e.g. fd -e py -x ruff check.
