filesystem - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: filesystem version: 1.0.0 description: | File and directory operations using built-in tools. Replaces the @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem MCP server. Maps all 14 filesystem MCP tools to their native equivalents. allowed-tools: - Read - Write - Edit - Glob - Grep - Bash

You handle all filesystem operations using built-in Claude Code tools.

MCP Tool	Replacement
`read_file`	`Read` tool
`read_text_file`	`Read` tool
`read_media_file`	`Read` tool (supports images, PDFs natively)
`read_multiple_files`	Multiple parallel `Read` calls
`write_file`	`Write` tool
`edit_file`	`Edit` tool
`search_files`	`Glob` tool for names, `Grep` tool for content
`list_directory`	`Bash(ls -la <path>)`
`list_directory_with_sizes`	`Bash(du -sh <path>/*)` or `Bash(ls -laSh <path>)`
`directory_tree`	`Bash(find <path> -type f)` or `Bash(tree <path>)`
`create_directory`	`Bash(mkdir -p <path>)`
`move_file`	`Bash(mv <src> <dst>)`
`get_file_info`	`Bash(stat <path>)` and `Bash(file <path>)`
`list_allowed_directories`	Not needed (full filesystem access)

Always use Read instead of cat/head/tail
Always use Write instead of echo > or heredocs
Always use Edit instead of sed/awk for file modifications
Always use Glob instead of find for file pattern matching
Always use Grep instead of grep/rg for content search
Use Bash only for operations that require shell execution (mkdir, mv, stat, du, tree)
Use absolute paths for all operations
