Custom Claude Code File Suggestion

file-suggestion.sh

#!/bin/bash
# {
#   "fileSuggestion": {
#     "type": "command",
#     "command": ".claude/file-suggestion.sh"
#   }
# }

query=$(cat | jq -r '.query')
cd "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" && fd -t f -p "$query" . | sed 's|^\./||' | head -15

Stumbled upon this earlier this evening, wanted to give you a heads up that you can simplify this script a ton using fd's built-in options.

You can replace:

• cd "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" with the -C|--base-directory <path> option
• sed 's|^\./||' with the fd option --strip-cwd-prefix=always
• head -15 with the fd option --max-results=15

Putting it all together:

#!/bin/bash

query=$(cat | jq -r '.query')
fd -t f -p \
    --strip-cwd-prefix=always \
    --max-results=15 \
    -C "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR" \
    "$query"

It is worth mentioning that with these changes, fd is no longer being piped into another command, so still outputs with color/decorations. Depending on how Claude Code calls this bash script, that could cause issues (but it's unlikely). If it does though, they can be disabled with options as well (--color=never, --hyperlink=never).

thank you!
