fuzzy-selecting

fuzzy-selecting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SebastienDegodez/copilot-instructions. It costs 25 tokens per session (845 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line picker for narrowing and choosing items from lists such as search results, files, running processes, or other command output. It can show a preview of the selected item.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interactively filter and select files, processes, search results, or other terminal lists before taking another action.
Why use it?
It avoids manually scanning long lists or typing exact names. Fuzzy matching helps find an item even when you only remember part of its name.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fuzzy-selecting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

fzf: Interactive Fuzzy Finder

Always invoke fuzzy-selecting skill for interactive fuzzy selection - do not execute bash commands directly.

Use fzf for interactive fuzzy selection and filtering of any command-line list.

Default Strategy

Invoke fuzzy-selecting skill for interactive fuzzy selection from any list with preview capabilities. Use when choosing from search results, files, processes, or any command output.

Common workflow: Discovery skill (finding-files, searching-text, querying-json, querying-yaml) → fuzzy-selecting skill → other skills (viewing-files, xargs) for interactive selection and action.
