# File Operations
Analyze files and retrieve metadata using Claude's native tools without modifying files.
## When to Use
- "analyze [file]"
- "get file info for [file]"
- "how many lines in [file]"
- "compare [file1] and [file2]"
- "file statistics"
## Core Operations
### File Size & Metadata
```bash
stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" [file_path] # Single file
ls -lh [directory] # Multiple files
du -h [file_path] # Human-readable size
```
### Line Counts
```bash
wc -l [file_path] # Single file
wc -l [file1] [file2] # Multiple files
find [dir] -name "*.py" | xargs wc -l # Directory total
```
### Content Analysis
Use **Read** to analyze structure, then count functions/classes/imports.
### Pattern Search
```
Grep(pattern="^def ", output_mode="count", path="src/") # Count functions
Grep(pattern="TODO|FIXME", output_mode="content", -n=true) # Find TODOs
Grep(pattern="^import ", output_mode="count") # Count imports
```
### Find Files
```
Glob(pattern="**/*.py")
```
## Workflow Examples
### Comprehensive File Analysis
1. Get size/mod time: `stat -f "%z bytes, modified %Sm" file.py`
2. Count lines: `wc -l file.py`
3. Read file: `Read(file_path="file.py")`
4. Count functions: `Grep(pattern="^def ", output_mode="count")`
5. Count classes: `Grep(pattern="^class ", output_mode="count")`
### Compare File Sizes
1. Find files: `Glob(pa...

Use ONE Bash script instead of N sequential Read calls when analyzing multiple files, auditing codebase, finding all matches, scanning dependencies, counting lines, or listing files matching a pattern. Replaces wasteful multi-Read loops with compact shell pipelines.
