RBozydar File Suggestion Setup
Configure Claude Code's file suggestion feature with a custom script using ripgrep, jq, and fzf for fast fuzzy file matching.
Prerequisites
Required tools: ripgrep (rg), jq, fzf. Install via the system package manager if not present.
Setup
1. Install the script
A ready-to-use script is available at:
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/file-suggestion/scripts/file-suggestion.sh
Copy to the Claude config directory:
cp ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/file-suggestion/scripts/file-suggestion.sh ~/.claude/file-suggestion.sh
chmod +x ~/.claude/file-suggestion.sh
2. Configure Claude Code
Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"fileSuggestion": {
"type": "command",
"command": "~/.claude/file-suggestion.sh"
}
}
Customization
Include Gitignored Paths
Uncomment and customize the additional paths section in the script:
# Include .notes directory even if gitignored
[ -e .notes ] && rg --files --follow --hidden --no-ignore-vcs .notes 2>/dev/null
Exclude Patterns
Add ripgrep glob patterns to exclude files:
rg --files --follow --hidden \
--glob '!*.min.js' \
--glob '!*.map' \
--glob '!node_modules' \
. 2>/dev/null
Change Result Limit
Modify head -15 in the script to return more or fewer results.
