# File Search Skill

Fast file-name and content search using `fd` and `rg` (ripgrep).

## Find Files by Name

Search for files matching a pattern:

```bash
fd "\.rs$" /home/xrx/projects
```

Find files by exact name:

```bash
fd -g "Cargo.toml" /home/xrx/projects
```

## Search File Contents

Search for a regex pattern across files:

```bash
rg "TODO|FIXME" /home/xrx/projects
```

Search with context lines:

```bash
rg -C 3 "fn main" /home/xrx/projects --type rust
```

## Install

```bash
sudo dnf install fd-find ripgrep
```
