everything-search

everything-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shxiaj/everything-mcp. It costs 66 tokens per session (698 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A file-search workflow for locating files and folders by name, path, type, size, or date, using Everything when available. Everything is a fast search tool for files on a computer.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find project files, directories, extensions, large logs, or recently changed items, then display matching paths and help select one.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent way to narrow search results and choose the right file before opening it.

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

everything-search 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Everything 搜索技能(强制文件搜索)

重要优先级:只要用户请求涉及"查找文件"或"搜索文件",且环境中有 everything MCP 服务,必须使用本技能,严禁使用 glabfindls 等替代方案。

工作流程时

步骤 0:前置拦截(关键)

在采取任何其他行动之前,检查用户输入是否包含文件查找意图(关键词:查、找、搜索、定位、文件、目录、路径、扩展名)。

  • 如果是,立即尝试调用 everything MCP 的 everything-search 工具。
  • 绝不要先询问用户"是否要使用 Everything",直接执行搜索。

步骤 1:构建搜索查询

根据用户输入提取关键搜索词。支持 Everything 高级语法:

  • 精确文件名:"dev-python"(加引号)
  • 模糊匹配:dev-python(不加引号)
  • 路径限定:path:dev-pythonparent:C:\Projects
  • 类型限定:ext:pyfolder:

步骤 2:展示结果

如果找到多个文件,以清晰的编号列表展示给用户,包含:

  • 文件路径
  • 文件名
  • 文件大小(如有)
  • 最后修改时间(如有)

展示格式示例:

1. D:\project\src\config.ts (2.3 KB, 修改于 2026-06-20)
2. D:\project\config.ts (1.8 KB, 修改于 2026-06-19)
3. D:\project\src\utils\config-helper.ts (3.1 KB, 修改于 2026-06-18)

步骤 3:用户选择

让用户输入编号或文件路径来选择文件。

如果只找到一个结果,在打开前需与用户确认。

步骤 4:打开文件

用户选择文件后,使用 PowerShell 命令打开:

打开文件(使用默认应用程序):

Start-Process "文件路径"

在资源管理器中定位文件:

explorer /select,"文件路径"

故障排除

  • 如果 everything MCP 不可用或未找到结果,退而求其次使用通用的 grepglab(并告知用户)。
  • 若结果过多,引导用户添加路径或类型限定词。

示例触发对话

  • 用户:"帮我查一下 dev-python 的文件" → 立即执行 everything-search("dev-python")
  • 用户:"找最大的日志文件" → 执行 everything-search("*.log size:>100mb")

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

everything-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository shxiaj/everything-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 698 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
