File
Gives Claude filesystem analysis capabilities through five tools: dir_tree for visual directory structures, file_stats for size breakdowns and file counts by extension, duplicate_finder using MD5 hashing to identify redundant files, code_counter supporting 20+ languages with comment detection, and file_search with glob patterns, regex content matching, and size/date filtering. Runs via Node.js stdio transport. Reach for this when you need Claude to audit codebases, find duplicate assets, generate project documentation, or answer questions about file organization without manually gathering that data yourself. Built on standard filesystem operations with configurable depth limits and ignore patterns.
