What it does

Fd Find is an agent skill from penpot/penpot. A fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find' - simple syntax, smart defaults, respects gitignore.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Penpot: The open-source design platform for Product teams that need scalable collaboration. The licence is MPL-2.0.

Example prompts

“/fd-find”

Requirements

Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cb1118f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fd Find loads about 882 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~882

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

fd - Fast File Finder

User-friendly alternative to find with smart defaults.

When to use

Locating files or directories by name or pattern — prefer it over plain find: simpler syntax, smart defaults, respects .gitignore.

Quick Start

Basic search

bash

# Find files by name
fd pattern

# Find in specific directory
fd pattern /path/to/dir

# Case-insensitive
fd -i pattern

Common patterns

bash

# Find all Python files
fd -e py

# Find multiple extensions
fd -e py -e js -e ts

# Find directories only
fd -t d pattern

# Find files only
fd -t f pattern

# Find symlinks
fd -t l

Advanced Usage

Filtering

bash

# Exclude patterns
fd pattern -E "node_modules" -E "*.min.js"

# Include hidden files
fd -H pattern

# Include ignored files (.gitignore)
fd -I pattern

# Search all (hidden + ignored)
fd -H -I pattern

# Maximum depth
fd pattern -d 3

Execution

bash

# Execute command on results
fd -e jpg -x convert {} {.}.png

# Parallel execution
fd -e md -x wc -l

# Use with xargs
fd -e log -0 | xargs -0 rm

Regex patterns

bash

# Full regex search
fd '^test.*\.js$'

# Match full path
fd --full-path 'src/.*/test'

# Glob pattern
fd -g "*.{js,ts}"

Time-based filtering

bash

# Modified within last day
fd --changed-within 1d

# Modified before specific date
fd --changed-before 2024-01-01

# Created recently
fd --changed-within 1h

Size filtering

bash

# Files larger than 10MB
fd --size +10m

# Files smaller than 1KB
fd --size -1k

# Specific size range
fd --size +100k --size -10m

Output formatting

bash

# Absolute paths
fd --absolute-path

# List format (like ls -l)
fd --list-details

# Null separator (for xargs)
fd -0 pattern

# Color always/never/auto
fd --color always pattern

Common Use Cases

Find and delete old files:

bash

fd --changed-before 30d -t f -x rm {}

Find large files:

bash

fd --size +100m --list-details

Copy all PDFs to directory:

bash

fd -e pdf -x cp {} /target/dir/

Count lines in all Python files:

bash

fd -e py -x wc -l | awk '{sum+=$1} END {print sum}'

Find broken symlinks:

bash

fd -t l -x test -e {} \; -print

Search in specific time window:

bash

fd --changed-within 2d --changed-before 1d

Integration with other tools

With ripgrep:

bash

fd -e js | xargs rg "pattern"

With fzf (fuzzy finder):

bash

vim $(fd -t f | fzf)

With bat (cat alternative):

bash

fd -e md | xargs bat

Performance Tips

fd is typically much faster than find
Respects .gitignore by default (disable with -I)
Uses parallel traversal automatically
Smart case: lowercase = case-insensitive, any uppercase = case-sensitive

Tips

Use -t for type filtering (f=file, d=directory, l=symlink, x=executable)
-e for extension is simpler than -g "*.ext"
{} in -x commands represents the found path
{.} strips the extension
{/} gets basename, {//} gets directory
