pix-find

Pi tool — glob file search with FFF acceleration.

What it does

Replaces Pi's default find tool with an enhanced version backed by pix-pretty. Uses FFF (frecency-ranked, SIMD-accelerated file finder) when available, falling back to the standard glob search. Results are rendered as a dim preview of the matched relative paths; the call label shows the glob pattern and search directory inline. The finder is shared with pix-grep (owned there) — install pix-grep alongside to actually populate the index. Depends on @xynogen/pix-pretty, installed automatically as a dependency.

Auto-collapse

After a configurable delay (default 10 seconds), completed output collapses to a row such as ✓ find **/*.ts · 24 files. Structured failures use a compact ✗ row after the delay. Expanding restores the existing bounded result list or exact diagnostic without restarting the elapsed timer. This is controlled via the collapse section of ~/.pi/agent/pix.json:

{
  "collapse": {
    "enabled": true,
    "delaySec": 10,
    "tools": { "find": true }
  }
}

Set collapse.tools.find: false to disable for this tool only. See @xynogen/pix-runtime/collapse for the full API.
