# 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 ```bash stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" [file_path] # Single file ls -lh [directory] # Multiple files du -h [file_path] # Human-readable size ``` ### Line Counts ```bash 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", output_mode="content", -n=true) # Find TODOs Grep(pattern="^import ", output_mode="count") # Count imports ``` ### Find Files ``` Glob(pattern="**/*.py") ``` ## Workflow Examples ### Comprehensive File Analysis 1. Get size/mod time: `stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" file.py` 2. Count lines: `wc -l file.py` 3. Read file: `Read(file_path="file.py")` 4. Count functions: `Grep(pattern="
