Problem

When directories are managed via symlinks (for example, dotfile managers or symlinked skill repositories under ~/.agents/skills/), several components across Kit either skipped them or failed to inspect their contents:

  1. Core Agent Tools (find, grep, ls):
    • find executed fd and find without -L, ignoring symlinked directories during file search.
    • grep executed rg without -L, skipping matches inside symlinked trees.
    • ls relied directly on entry.IsDir() from os.ReadDir(), which returns false for symlinks pointing to directories, formatting directory symlinks without a trailing slash (/).
  2. Skill Resources (Skill.Resources):
    • s.Resources() checked e.IsDir() when enumerating bundled folders (scripts/, references/, assets/). For symlinks to subdirectories, e.IsDir() returned false, erroneously including directory symlinks as resource files.
  3. Extension Loader (internal/extensions):
    • findExtensionsInDir and findExtensionsInGitPackages checked entry.IsDir() directly, causing symlinked extension folders with main.go and symlinked git package directory structures (host/owner/repo) to be ignored.
  4. UI Components (dir_picker, file_suggestions):
    • dir_picker filtered entries with !e.IsDir(), omitting symlinked directories from the picker list.
    • file_suggestions omitted trailing slashes and the directory score boost for symlinked folders in the @-autocomplete popup.

Solution

  • Core tools: Added -L (follow symlinks) to fd, find, and rg command arguments. Added os.Stat fallback to ls so symlinked directories receive trailing slashes.
  • Skill resources: Added os.Stat check for symlink entries in Skill.Resources() to distinguish files from directories and prevent directory symlinks from being treated as resource files. Added regression test TestSkillResources_Symlinks.
  • Extension loader: Added symlink resolution via os.Stat in findExtensionsInDir and findExtensionsInGitPackages.
  • UI components: Added os.Stat checks in dir_picker and file_suggestions to resolve symlinked directories properly.

Testing

  • go test ./... passes across the entire project.
  • go test -v ./internal/skills passes, including TestSkillResources_Symlinks and TestLoadSkillsFromDir_SymlinkedEntries.
  • go test -v ./internal/core/..., ./internal/extensions/..., and ./internal/ui/... all pass cleanly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • File searches now follow symbolic links, making results inside linked directories discoverable.
    • Directory listings, file suggestions, and extension discovery recognize symbolic links that point to directories.
    • Skill resources can include symbolic links to files while continuing to exclude linked directories.
    • Directory indicators reflect when a symbolic link points to a directory.
    • Unresponsive linked directories are identified in the directory picker, with an error shown if selected.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Search results are limited as they are collected, and search errors are surfaced when no results are found.
    • Grep can return matches alongside a warning when it encounters an error.

Skill.Resources() previously checked e.IsDir() on os.DirEntry when
walking through scripts/, references/, and assets/. Because Go's
DirEntry.IsDir() returns false for symlinks, any symlink pointing to
a subdirectory was incorrectly treated as a resource file rather than
being skipped.

Inspect the target via os.Stat when an entry is a symlink to verify
whether it points to a directory before adding it to resources.
Add TestSkillResources_Symlinks to verify symlinked files are included
and symlinked directories are skipped.
The agent core tools previously ignored symlinks when executing search
and listing operations:
- find: Added the -L flag when executing fd and find commands so that
  symlinked directories (such as ~/.agents/skills populated via dotfile
  managers) are traversed.
- grep: Added the -L flag when executing ripgrep (rg) so matching content
  within symlinked directories is included.
- ls: Check os.Stat when encountering a symlink so that symlinked
  directories correctly receive a trailing slash ("/") instead of being
  formatted as flat files.
… packages

findExtensionsInDir and findExtensionsInGitPackages checked
entry.IsDir() directly on os.DirEntry. As a result, symlinked extension
directories containing main.go and symlinked host/owner/repo directories
in git package structures were skipped.

Add os.Stat fallback to resolve symlinks before evaluating whether an
entry is a directory.
Interactive UI components checked e.IsDir() on os.DirEntry directly:
- dir_picker: symlinked folders were excluded from the directory picker
  list because isDir evaluated to false.
- file_suggestions: symlinked folders in the @-autocomplete popup were
  missing the trailing slash ("/") and did not receive the directory
  score boost.

Add os.Stat checks for symlink entries so that symlinked directories
can be navigated and selected properly.

Walkthrough

Search commands and directory listings now follow symlinks in the described cases. Search fallbacks stream results and enforce limits. Extension discovery and skill resource enumeration also handle symlink targets.

Changes: Symlink handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Follow symlinks and stream search results
internal/core/find.go, internal/core/grep.go, internal/core/grep_test.go
The fd, find, ripgrep, and standard grep fallback commands now follow symlinks. The find and grep fallbacks stream output and stop at configured limits. Error and partial-result handling changed. Tests cover long lines and match limits in the grep fallback.
Recognize symlinked directories
internal/core/ls.go, internal/ui/dir_picker.go, internal/ui/file_suggestions.go
Core and UI directory listings check symlink targets and classify directory targets as directories. UI listings use bounded target checks. The core listing checks for context cancellation during iteration.
Scan and deduplicate symlinked extensions
internal/extensions/discover.go, internal/extensions/loader.go
Extension discovery follows symlinked directories. Git-package filtering also checks a resolved repository path, and results are deduplicated by resolved target. Candidate paths are built from the original root.
Handle symlinks in skill resources
internal/skills/skills.go, internal/skills/skills_test.go
Skill resource enumeration includes symlinks to files and skips symlinks to directories or unresolved targets. A test checks these cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Inline comments:
Review comments at @internal/core/find.go:
- Line 115: Update findWithFind to capture stderr and check the result of
cmd.Run; when the find command fails, return an error that includes the command
failure and diagnostic output instead of reporting no files or partial results
as success.
- Line 115: Update findWithFind to stream results instead of buffering the full
traversal, and stop the find process once the requested limit is reached.
Preserve existing result and error handling while avoiding continued traversal
or output accumulation after the limit.

Review comments at @internal/core/grep.go:
- Around line 100-101: Update the grep invocation that sets `--max-count` so it
also bounds total buffered output and stops searching once the response budget
is reached; `--max-count` only limits matches per file. Preserve symlink
following and establish the appropriate output-budget mechanism without assuming
an unsupported grep option.
- Line 100: Update executeGrep to preserve and return any matches collected when
ripgrep exits with code 2 for a filesystem error, while also reporting the
filesystem warning; do not replace the collected results with an error-only
response.
- Line 100: Update the recursive grep flags in grepFallback to follow symlinks,
replacing the current recursion option with the dereferencing recursive option
while preserving line-number and color behavior.

Review comments at @internal/core/ls.go:
- Around line 95-99: Update the listing loop in executeLs to check ctx.Err()
before processing each entry and return the existing error response immediately
when cancellation is detected, preventing further symlink os.Stat calls.

Review comments at @internal/extensions/loader.go:
- Around line 196-200: Deduplicate extension candidates in the discovery flow
before initialization using the resolved target as their identity, so a
directory and a symlink to it are initialized only once. Preserve the selected
discovery path for the extension that proceeds to initialization rather than
replacing it with the resolved target.
- Around line 300-309: Update findExtensionsInGitPackages to resolve host and
owner aliases to the installed package identity before choosing the
convention-scanning fallback, so the target package’s Include filter is applied.
Preserve the existing behavior for repository-root symlinks; filepath.Walk does
not establish their identity.

Review comments at @internal/skills/skills.go:
- Around line 258-261: Update the symlink handling in the resource-listing flow
so entries whose targets cannot be resolved by os.Stat are skipped rather than
added as readable files. Preserve the existing behavior of classifying
successfully resolved symlinks according to their target type.
- Around line 258-260: Update Skill.Resources so resource enumeration is bounded
before resolving symlinks with os.Stat; enforce the existing maxResources limit
before further filesystem calls, while preserving the resource limit behavior
for entries that do not require symlink resolution.

Review comments at @internal/ui/dir_picker.go:
- Around line 199-202: Move the symlink-target resolution using os.Stat out of
the synchronous directory-picker UI loop so an unresponsive mount cannot block
navigation or cancellation. Resolve entries asynchronously and update their
directory status when results are available, preserving the existing symlink and
directory checks.

Review comments at @internal/ui/file_suggestions.go:
- Around line 326-329: Update the symlink handling in listFilesReadDir so
resolving a symlink target with os.Stat cannot block the synchronous
GetFileSuggestions input path; move resolution outside the UI update path or use
an established bounded operation, while preserving directory-target detection.

Propagate fallback traversal errors.

When find -L cannot read a symlink target, it can emit a diagnostic and return a nonzero status without output for that subtree. findWithFind discards both values and returns "No files found." or partial output as success. Capture stderr and return the command error.

Bound fallback traversal and buffering.

When fd is unavailable or fails, findWithFind runs find -L, waits for the full traversal, and stores all output in bytes.Buffer before applying limit. A readable symlink to a large tree can therefore make a small search consume excessive time and memory. Stream the results and stop after the requested limit.

Bound grep output while following symlinks.

When a linked tree contains many matching files, --max-count limits each file, not the whole search. The tool buffers all output before truncating it, so a small limit can still cause long searches and excessive memory use. Bound the buffered output and stop searching when the response budget is reached.

Review comment at @internal/core/grep.go around lines 100 - 101:
Update the grep invocation that sets `--max-count` so it also bounds total
buffered output and stops searching once the response budget is reached;
`--max-count` only limits matches per file. Preserve symlink following and
establish the appropriate output-budget mechanism without assuming an
unsupported grep option.

Bound symlink resolution during resource enumeration.

Skill.Resources() calls os.Stat for every symlink before enforcing maxResources. A large symlink farm can therefore perform unbounded synchronous filesystem calls during activation. If a target is on a slow or unavailable filesystem, activate_skill can block because FormatActivation has no context-aware cancellation.

Restore an entry limit before resolving further symlinks, or otherwise make resource enumeration bounded.

Resolve symlinked repository roots before scanning.

When a repository symlink has no include filter, walkExtensionCandidates does not traverse its target. For a repository name without a .go suffix, discovery returns no extensions. Resolve the root before traversal while preserving the expected candidate paths.

Review comments at @internal/core/find.go:
- Around line 149-155: Update the fallback `find` result handling after
`cmd.Wait()` so cancellation before any match and unexpected exit errors are
reported instead of returning “No files found.” Preserve intentional termination
when the result limit is reached, and include any traversal diagnostics in the
response when matches were found rather than silently returning partial results.

Review comments at @internal/core/grep.go:
- Line 228: Update the line-count and truncation logic in the grep flow near
result.String() so the trailing newline is not counted as an extra line; track
whether the scanner encountered an additional match beyond the limit and report
truncation only in that case. Add tests covering exactly limit lines and more
than limit lines.
- Line 175: Update the `grepArgs` fallback configuration to follow symlinked
directories on macOS by adding BSD grep’s `-S` option only when using BSD grep.
Preserve GNU grep compatibility by keeping its existing `-R` behavior without
passing it the unsupported `-S` flag.
- Around line 205-213: The grep fallback’s bufio.Scanner loop cannot read
matching lines beyond its token limit; replace it with a line-reading approach
that can consume long lines and truncate them only after reading. Handle read
errors by stopping grep before cmd.Wait so the subprocess cannot block, and add
a fallback test that verifies a long line is truncated while subsequent output
is still returned.

Review comments at @internal/skills/skills.go:
- Around line 257-259: Update Resources to check the resource limit immediately
after appending each resource and return the sorted results as soon as the limit
is reached. This must prevent reading subsequent directories, such as
references, once scripts fills the limit.

Review comments at @internal/ui/dir_picker.go:
- Around line 219-221: Update listDirs around statWithTimeout to distinguish a
timeout from a confirmed non-directory result: retain or surface timed-out

Resolve symlinks without blocking autocomplete.

In the listFilesReadDir fallback, symlinked directories after the first 50 eligible symlinks are treated as files. Selecting one closes the popup instead of opening the directory. In /edit mode, it also arms submission.

The cap does not bound wait time: even one synchronous os.Stat on an unresponsive target can stall the input update. Resolve symlinks beyond the cap without blocking the interactive update path.

Add a symlinked-root discovery test.

TestWalkExtensionCandidates uses only a normal directory. If the walk reverts to root, the test can still pass while discovery returns no candidates for a symlinked root. Add a fixture with a symlinked root and assert the expected candidates, including their paths.

Add a fallback symlink traversal test.

CI can pass if grepFallback stops following directory symlinks because both tests search regular files. Add a test with a matching file accessible only through a directory symlink and assert that grepFallback returns the match.

Preserve the find truncation notice.

When the fallback finds more than limit matches, truncateHead removes the custom notice and counts it and a blank line as truncated results. The reported total can be wrong. Track whether more matches exist and add that notice after truncating the paths.

Select fallback flags by grep implementation.

When rg is unavailable on macOS and GNU grep is first on PATH, -S makes every fallback search return a grep error. Select the flag based on the installed grep implementation so BSD grep still follows symlinks.

Bind candidate paths to the scanned root.

If the repository symlink is retargeted during discovery, the loader can evaluate an extension from the new target instead of the scanned tree. Construct candidate paths from targetRoot so loading uses the root discovery scanned.

Scan the repository root before applying directory exclusions.

If a symlinked repository resolves to a directory named vendor, dist, or another excluded name, discovery skips the entire repository. Check relPath == "." before the exclusion check so valid extensions remain discoverable.

 		// Skip directories we know don't contain extensions
 		if info.IsDir() {
+			// Root directory - scan it
+			if relPath == "." {
+				return nil

Review comment at @internal/extensions/discover.go at line 29:
In the filepath.Walk callback, check whether relPath is "." before applying
excluded-directory checks, and return without skipping the directory in that
case. Keep the existing exclusions for non-root directories so discovery can
inspect a repository root whose resolved name matches an excluded directory.

Follow nested symlinked extension directories.

When a symlinked repository root contains an ext symlink to a directory, filepath.Walk does not enter ext. Extensions such as ext/a.go are absent from discovery and previews. Follow nested directory symlinks while preventing cycles.

Review comment at @internal/extensions/discover.go at line 29:
Update the filepath.Walk traversal in extension discovery to descend into nested
symlinked directories, including an ext symlink, so their extensions appear in
discovery and previews. Track visited directories or otherwise prevent cycles
while following symlinks.

Handle unresolved links separately from confirmed subdirectories.

If a directory has only symlinks to files and their checks time out, enterDir does not select the directory as a leaf. The user must select “Use this directory” instead. Preserve leaf-selection behavior without treating unresolved links as confirmed subdirectories.

Update the enterDir handling of checkResult timeouts so unresolved links do not
prevent the directory from being selected as a leaf. Keep timed-out entries
distinct from confirmed subdirectories; do not mark them isDir.

Do not classify unresolved symlinks as files.

When a symlinked directory takes longer than 50 ms to resolve, completion caches it as a file. Selecting it closes the popup instead of drilling into the directory. Keep timed-out entries unresolved and allow their classification to be retried.

Update the symlink classification flow using statWithTimeout so a timeout leaves
the entry unresolved rather than treating it as a file; allow that entry’s
classification to be retried, while preserving directory classification when
resolution succeeds.
