Enables lightning-fast local file discovery and content searching using the native macOS Spotlight index.
This skill empowers Claude to locate documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs across the entire macOS filesystem by tapping into the native mdfind utility. It provides a significant speed advantage over recursive text searches (like grep or ripgrep) by utilizing pre-indexed content and metadata. It is particularly useful for finding specific project assets, tax forms, or legacy documents when the exact file path is unknown, supporting advanced filters for file types, creation dates, and complex content predicates.
