filesystemFile and directory operations via Claude Code built-in tools, replacing the Filesystem MCP server.
Filesystem is an agent skill from Mathews-Tom/armory. File and directory operations via Claude Code built-in tools, replacing the Filesystem MCP server. Triggers on: "read this file", "write to file", "edit file", "find files matching", "search for text in files", "list directory", "show directory tree", "rename file".
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/cases.yaml`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering File organization and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol and Bash. The repository describes itself as: Curated, production-grade skills for AI coding agents. Battle-tested workflows for developers who use AI seriously. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4594fb7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Filesystem loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 846 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/filesystem/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.All file and directory operations use Claude Code's built-in tools. No MCP server needed — native tools are faster, more capable, and cost zero context tokens when idle.
| Filesystem MCP Tool | Replacement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
read_file(path) | Read tool | Supports line offset and limit |
read_multiple_files(paths) | Multiple parallel Read calls | Faster than sequential MCP calls |
write_file(path, content) | Write tool | Overwrites entire file |
edit_file(path, edits) | Edit tool | Exact string replacement; surgical edits |
list_directory(path) | Glob or Bash ls | Glob for patterns, ls for simple listing |
directory_tree(path) | Bash fd or Glob **/* | fd is fastest; Glob for pattern filtering |
search_files(pattern, path) | Grep tool | Full regex, file type filters, context lines |
create_directory(path) | Bash mkdir -p | -p creates intermediate directories |
move_file(src, dst) | Bash mv | Also handles renames |
get_file_info(path) | Bash stat or Bash ls -la | Size, permissions, timestamps |
list_allowed_directories | N/A | Claude Code operates in the working directory; no sandbox restrictions |
Use the Read tool with an absolute path:
Read: /path/to/file.pyFor large files, use offset and limit to read specific sections:
Read: /path/to/file.py (offset: 100, limit: 50)This reads 50 lines starting from line 100. Use this for files with thousands of lines to avoid flooding context.
Issue multiple Read calls in a single response. Claude Code executes them concurrently:
Read: /path/to/file1.py
Read: /path/to/file2.py
Read: /path/to/file3.pyParallel reads are faster than the MCP's read_multiple_files which serialized internally.
The Read tool handles binary formats:
pages: "1-5" for large documents (max 20 pages per call)Use the Write tool to create a file or overwrite an existing one:
Write: /path/to/new-file.py
Content: <full file content>The Write tool requires reading the file first if it already exists. For new files,
write directly.
Use the Edit tool for surgical modifications — replace exact string matches:
Edit: /path/to/file.py
old_string: "def old_function():"
new_string: "def new_function():"The Edit tool fails if old_string is not unique in the file. Provide enough
surrounding context to make the match unique, or use replace_all: true for
find-and-replace across the entire file.
Prefer Edit over Write for existing files. Edit preserves everything outside the changed region and shows a clear diff. Write replaces the entire file.

Glob: src/**/*.ts → TypeScript files under src/

File and directory operations via Claude Code built-in tools, replacing the Filesystem MCP server. Filesystem is an agent skill from Mathews-Tom/armory. File and directory operations via Claude Code built-in tools, replacing the Filesystem MCP server.
Filesystem fits situations like: : read this file; find files matching; search for text in files; show directory tree.
Run `npx skills add Mathews-Tom/armory --skill filesystem -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/filesystem in Mathews-Tom/armory) into .claude/skills/filesystem in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add Mathews-Tom/armory --skill filesystem -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/filesystem in Mathews-Tom/armory) into .agents/skills/filesystem in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Mathews-Tom/armory --skill filesystem -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/filesystem, .gemini/skills/filesystem, .github/skills/filesystem and .opencode/skills/filesystem in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Filesystem needs the command-line tools its instructions call (bash). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Filesystem is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Filesystem: Orchard (okooo5km/Skills4U, 183 stars), Crush Configuration (charmbracelet/crush, 29k stars), Record Demo (apify/mcpc, 983 stars) and Ue Code Authoring (JasonMa0012/MooaToon, 749 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
