Summary
Add a rule to AIRULES.md instructing the AI to prefer Glob/Grep/Read tools over Bash
findcommand, limitingfindto cases where dedicated tools cannot achieve the goal (e.g., permission/timestamp filtering).Motivation
Claude Code sometimes uses
Bash(find ...)for file exploration when Glob/Grep/Read tools are more appropriate. A hook-based approach (PreToolUse withask) was explored in #100, but the reminder only appeared to the user, not the AI. A rule-based approach is simpler and directly guides the AI's decision-making before it chooses a tool.Closes #99
