Everything Search Skill for AI Agents

A specialized skill designed to empower AI agents (like Claude Code, OpenCode, etc.) to search the local Windows filesystem instantly using the Everything search engine.

🚀 Overview

This project provides a bridge between AI agents and the "Everything" search engine. Instead of relying on slow, recursive directory scans (like glob or find), this skill allows agents to query the Master File Table (MFT) index directly via es.exe, returning results in milliseconds.

It is packaged as a standard Skill structure, ready to be dropped into your agent's skill directory.

✨ Features

• Instant Search: Find files by name, path, or extension in milliseconds.
• Advanced Queries: Support for size, dates, attributes, and regex (e.g., "files > 1GB modified today").
• Content Search: capability to search text content within files.
• Zero-Dependency Runtime: The core script is pure Node.js (CommonJS) with no node_modules required.

🛠️ Prerequisites

1. Windows OS: "Everything" is a Windows-only tool.
2. Everything Service: Install Everything and ensure the service is running.
3. Everything CLI (es.exe):
   • Download from voidtools Downloads.
   • Crucial: Add the folder containing es.exe to your system PATH.
4. Node.js: Required to execute the wrapper script.

📂 Installation & Usage

For Claude Code / OpenCode Users

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/skill-everything.git

2. Copy or link the everything-search folder to your agent's skills directory (e.g., ~/.agents/skills/).

Manual Testing

You can test the skill logic directly without an agent:

# Basic search
node everything-search/scripts/search.js "secret-plans.docx"

# Advanced search: Find large video files
node everything-search/scripts/search.js "video: size:>1gb" --sort size

# Help / Syntax
# See everything-search/references/syntax.md
