Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How does File Operations analyze file metadata and statistics?
File Operations retrieves detailed file metadata and statistics—including size, line counts, modification times, and content analysis—using read-only operations. The skill examines files without modifying their content, making it safe for gathering comprehensive information about your project's structure and composition.
Can File Operations count functions, classes, and imports in code?
Yes. File Operations analyzes code structure to count functions, classes, imports, and other structural elements. This capability lets you understand your codebase's complexity and organization across Python files and other source code formats without altering any content.
How can I find the largest files in my project?
File Operations compares file sizes and identifies the largest files in your project directory. You can use this to spot oversized modules, locate potential refactoring candidates, or understand storage distribution across your codebase quickly and efficiently.
Does File Operations find TODO and FIXME comments?
File Operations finds and counts specific patterns like TODOs and FIXME code markers throughout your files. This helps you track technical debt and incomplete work items embedded in your source code without requiring manual searching.
What file information can File Operations provide?
File Operations provides file size, modification time, line counts, and detailed content statistics. It generates code quality metrics and structural analysis, giving you comprehensive insights into individual files and entire directories for project assessment and planning.

File Operations
Analyze files and retrieve metadata using Claude's native tools without modifying files.
When to Use
- "analyze [file]"
- "get file info for [file]"
- "how many lines in [file]"
- "compare [file1] and [file2]"
- "file statistics"
Core Operations
File Size & Metadata
stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" [file_path] # Single file
ls -lh [directory] # Multiple files
du -h [file_path] # Human-readable size
Line Counts
wc -l [file_path] # Single file
wc -l [file1] [file2] # Multiple files
find [dir] -name "*.py" | xargs wc -l # Directory total
Content Analysis
Use Read to analyze structure, then count functions/classes/imports.
Pattern Search
``` Grep(pattern="^def ", output_mode="count", path="src/") # Count functions Grep(pattern="TODO|FIXME",

file-operations covers essential Linux file system tasks: searching by name, type, size, or modification time; performing batch operations like rename and delete; and managing permissions and ownership. It includes practical scenarios for cleanup, finding recent changes, and bulk content replacement.
This skill spawns three independent subagents to tackle problems from different angles—prioritizing simplicity, performance, or extensibility for code; top-down, bottom-up, or lateral thinking for design; or expert, pragmatic, or innovative perspectives for creative work. Each solution is scored against correctness, completeness, quality, clarity, and elegance, then the winner is returned with trade-off analysis and guidance on when alternatives might suit better.
Codebase Documenter analyzes your project structure and code to produce organized markdown documentation spanning architecture, components, integrations, and development practices. It maps directory organization, traces execution paths, and synthesizes findings into multiple documents or a single comprehensive guide with Mermaid diagrams and code examples.
Code Refactor handles systematic refactoring operations like renaming identifiers, replacing deprecated patterns, and updating method calls across your codebase. It intelligently switches to execution mode for larger jobs (10+ files), delivering significant token savings while maintaining accuracy through a safe find-analyze-execute-verify workflow.
