📁 Filesystem Management

Advanced filesystem operations for AI agents. Comprehensive file and directory operations with intelligent filtering, searching, and batch processing capabilities.

OpenSquilla Compatibility Contract

When invoked from OpenSquilla, use the host-provided filesystem tools in the current workspace. Do not install clawdbot-filesystem, do not call ClawHub, and do not assume a standalone filesystem binary exists.

For AwesomeWebpageMetaSkill local packaging:

• Use only the config.awesome_webpage.output_dir supplied by the caller.
• Create or verify exactly:
  • project/index.html
  • project/style.css
  • project/script.js
  • project/assets/images
  • project/assets/audio
  • project/assets/video
• Keep all paths inside the current OpenSquilla workspace or the supplied output directory.
• If generation did not produce files, return PACKAGING_BLOCKED with the missing paths; do not try to discover unrelated config files.

Features

📋 Smart File Listing

• Advanced Filtering - Filter by file types, patterns, size, and date
• Recursive Traversal - Deep directory scanning with depth control
• Rich Formatting - Table, tree, and JSON output formats
• Sort Options - By name, size, date, or type

🔍 Powerful Search

• Pattern Matching - Glob patterns and regex support
• Content Search - Full-text search within files
• Multi-criteria - Combine filename and content searches
• Context Display - Show matching lines with context

🔄 Batch Operations

• Safe Copying - Pattern-based file copying with validation
• Dry Run Mode - Preview operations before execution
• Progress Tracking - Real-time operation progress
• Error Handling - Graceful failure recovery

🌳 Directory Analysis

• Tree Visualization - ASCII tree structure display
• Statistics - File counts, size distribution, type analysis
• Space Analysis - Identify large files and directories
• Performance Metrics - Operation timing and optimization

Quick Start

# List files with filtering
filesystem list --path ./src --recursive --filter "*.js"

# Search for content
filesystem search --pattern "TODO" --path ./src --content

# Batch copy with safety
filesystem copy --pattern "*.log" --to ./backup/ --dry-run

# Show directory tree
filesystem tree --path ./ --depth 3

# Analyze directory structure
filesystem analyze --path ./logs --stats

Command Reference

filesystem list

Advanced file and directory listing with filtering options.

Options:

• --path, -p <dir> - Target directory (default: current)
• --recursive, -r - Include subdirectories
• --filter, -f <pattern> - Filter files by pattern
• --details, -d - Show detailed information
• --sort, -s <field> - Sort by name|size|date
• --format <type> - Output format: table|json|list

filesystem search

Search files by name patterns or content.

Options:

• --pattern <pattern> - Search pattern (glob or regex)
• --path, -p <dir> - Search directory
• --content, -c - Search file contents
• --context <lines> - Show context lines
• --include <pattern> - Include file patterns
• --exclude <pattern> - Exclude file patterns

filesystem copy

Batch copy files with pattern matching and safety checks.

Options:

• --pattern <glob> - Source file pattern
• --to <dir> - Destination directory
• --dry-run - Preview without executing
• --overwrite - Allow file overwrites
• --preserve - Preserve timestamps and permissions

filesystem tree

Display directory structure as a tree.

Options:

• --path, -p <dir> - Root directory
• --depth, -d <num> - Maximum depth
• --dirs-only - Show directories only
• --size - Include file sizes
• --no-color - Disable colored output

filesystem analyze

Analyze directory structure and generate statistics.

Options:

• --path, -p <dir> - Target directory
• --stats - Show detailed statistics
• --types - Analyze file types
• --sizes - Show size distribution
• --largest <num> - Show N largest files

Installation

# Clone or install the skill
cd ~/.clawdbot/skills
git clone <filesystem-skill-repo>

# Or install via ClawdHub
clawdhub install filesystem

# Make executable
chmod +x filesystem/filesystem

Configuration

Customize behavior via config.json:

{
  "defaultPath": "./",
  "maxDepth": 10,
  "defaultFilters": ["*"],
  "excludePatterns": ["node_modules", ".git", ".DS_Store"],
  "outputFormat": "table",
  "dateFormat": "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss",
  "sizeFormat": "human",
  "colorOutput": true
}

Examples

Development Workflow

# Find all JavaScript files in src
filesystem list --path ./src --recursive --filter "*.js" --details

# Search for TODO comments
filesystem search --pattern "TODO|FIXME" --path ./src --content --context 2

# Copy all logs to backup
filesystem copy --pattern "*.log" --to ./backup/logs/ --preserve

# Analyze project structure
filesystem tree --path ./ --depth 2 --size

System Administration

# Find large files
filesystem analyze --path /var/log --sizes --largest 10

# List recent files
filesystem list --path /tmp --sort date --details

# Clean old temp files
filesystem list --path /tmp --filter "*.tmp" --older-than 7d

Safety Features

• Path Validation - Prevents directory traversal attacks
• Permission Checks - Verifies read/write access before operations
• Dry Run Mode - Preview destructive operations
• Backup Prompts - Suggests backups before overwrites
• Error Recovery - Graceful handling of permission errors

Integration

Works seamlessly with other Clawdbot tools:

• Security Skill - Validates all filesystem operations
• Git Operations - Respects .gitignore patterns
• Backup Tools - Integrates with backup workflows
• Log Analysis - Perfect for log file management
