Productivity & Workflow

Opens the native macOS Finder file picker to seamlessly select and attach local files to your Claude Code conversation.

This skill bridges the gap between your local file system and Claude Code by providing a graphical interface for file selection on macOS. Instead of manually typing complex file paths, it triggers a native Finder dialog using AppleScript, allows for multiple file selections, and automatically reads the file content into the conversation context.
