Modern replacement for ls with colors, icons, git status, and tree views. Use when listing files, exploring directories, viewing file metadata, or when the user mentions eza, ls alternatives, directory listings, or file exploration.

Known Issue: When running eza through Claude Code's Bash tool, output may not be captured correctly for some command combinations, resulting in empty output even though the command executes successfully (exit code 0).
Root Cause: Eza detects when stdout is not a real terminal (TTY) and adjusts its behavior. When output is piped or redirected through automation tools, certain flag combinations may produce no output.
Working Solution: Use --git-ignore flag or specify an explicit path with . to ensure output is generated:
# These commands work reliably in automated contexts:
eza -T --git-ignore .
eza -T --git-ignore
eza --git-ignore -l
eza . -l
# These may produce no output when run through automation:
eza
eza -1
eza -lh
eza -T
Best Practice: When executing eza through the Bash tool, ALWAYS include either:
--git-ignore flag, OR.)This ensures consistent output capture regardless of the environment.

Use for searching by name, extension, or pattern in directories.
Provides file and directory operations using Claude Code's native Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, and Bash tools, replacing the Filesystem MCP server. Useful for reading, writing, editing, searching, and navigating files.
Replaces cat/head/tail/ls/tree/find with AST-aware file reading via tilth MCP. Shows file contents, directory listings, line ranges, and dependencies without shell fallbacks.
