📖 Setup Guide

📦

Auto-Detects ZIP or Folder

Point it at your archive ZIP or an unzipped folder — it detects the format automatically and exposes the right tools for each mode.

🔍

Full-Text Content Search

Search across filenames AND inside text file contents. Returns contextual excerpts so Claude can find the relevant passage without reading every file.

🛡

Runs 100% Locally

No data leaves your machine. Claude asks for your approval before every operation. Path traversal is blocked. Your files stay yours.
