Glob

Find files by name/pattern (glob syntax), sorted by modification time; max 100 results; skips hidden files. Use grep to search file contents.

<usage> - Provide glob pattern to match against file paths - Optional starting directory (defaults to current working directory) - Results sorted with most recently modified files first </usage>

<pattern_syntax>

• '*' matches any sequence of non-separator characters
• '**' matches any sequence including separators
• '?' matches any single non-separator character
• '[...]' matches any character in brackets
• '[!...]' matches any character not in brackets </pattern_syntax>

<examples> - '*.js' - JavaScript files in current directory - '**/*.js' - JavaScript files in any subdirectory - 'src/**/*.{ts,tsx}' - TypeScript files in src directory - '*.{html,css,js}' - HTML, CSS, and JS files </examples> <limitations> - Results limited to 100 files (newest first) - Does not search file contents (use Grep for that) - Hidden files (starting with '.') skipped </limitations>

<cross_platform>

• Path separators handled automatically (/ and \ work)
• Uses ripgrep (rg) if available, otherwise Go implementation
• Patterns should use forward slashes (/) for compatibility </cross_platform>

<tips> - Combine with Grep: find files with Glob, search contents with Grep - For iterative exploration requiring multiple searches, consider Agent tool - Check if results truncated and refine pattern if needed </tips>
