fix(skills): stop walking the whole tree to answer "does any file match" - #1213
Conversation
`applyPaths` auto-load asks one question per skill — does at least one file
in the worktree match this glob — and answered it with
`Glob.scan(...).length > 0`. `scan` resolves only once the entire walk has
finished, so every skill paid for the full tree even when the first
directory already answered.
Two builtin skills ship with `applyPaths` (`dbt-develop`,
`dbt-schema-verify`), so every session pays this twice, before the first
token, with no configuration and no workspace involved.
The cost depends entirely on what the worktree resolves to. Inside a git
repo it is the repo root and the scans take ~10ms. Outside one,
`Project.fromDirectory` returns the global project whose worktree is `/`,
and the two scans walk the entire filesystem.
Measured from a directory outside a git repo, same binary, same prompt:
scan(...).length > 0 48.4 52.9 51.6 s
Glob.exists (this change) 9.1 6.8 6.4 s
scan removed entirely 7.1 6.8 6.7 s (floor)
Inside a repo: 7.5 / 7.3s, unchanged.
`Glob.exists` uses `globIterate`, which yields lazily, so the walk is
abandoned at the first match. It takes the same options as `scan` — the
tests pin `include`, `ignore` and the missing-directory case, and fail if
the options stop being forwarded.
Also tried and rejected: passing `ignore: Glob.DEFAULT_IGNORE` here, the
way #1184 did for the MCP scans. It made this *slower* — 61-82s against a
~51s baseline — because outside a repo the tree is not dependency-heavy,
so every candidate path pays 12 minimatch tests and almost nothing gets
pruned. Early exit is the right lever for an existence check.
Not addressed here: the worktree being `/` outside a git repo. That makes
skills auto-load off unrelated files elsewhere on the machine, which is a
correctness question for whoever owns project identity.
core suite: 1072 pass, 26 fail — the same 26 fail on unmodified main.
session/skill suites: 1516 pass, 0 fail.

`Project.fromDirectory` reports `/` as the worktree for a directory that
belongs to no git project. That is a sentinel meaning "no project", and
upstream only ever compares or displays it — `anyMatchInWorktree` is the
one place either codebase treats it as a directory to search.
So outside a git repo the globs matched against `/`, and a skill loaded
because an unrelated file existed somewhere else on the machine. An empty
scratch directory auto-loaded both dbt skills, because some
`dbt_project.yml` exists elsewhere under $HOME:
$ cd "$(mktemp -d)" && altimate run "..."
skill auto-loaded by applyPaths skill=dbt-develop globs=["dbt_project.yml","**/dbt_project.yml"]
skill auto-loaded by applyPaths skill=dbt-schema-verify globs=["dbt_project.yml","**/dbt_project.yml"]
Their bodies then go into the system prompt, so the model is told to
follow dbt conventions in a directory that has nothing to do with dbt.
`autoLoadScanRoot` falls back to the session's own directory when the
worktree is that sentinel. Verified in both directions on a built binary:
an empty non-git directory now auto-loads 0 skills, and one containing a
real `dbt_project.yml` still auto-loads 2.
The root choice is extracted so it can be tested without an instance
context; the test fails if the guard is removed, and covers equality
rather than prefix matching, since every absolute path starts with "/".
session + skill suites: 1519 pass, 0 fail.

Reviewed at fc4b78ce8. This is a good fix and the evidence behind it is better than most — measurements against a floor, an explicitly rejected alternative with its own numbers, and mutation testing.
I verified the parts that carry the claims rather than reading them:
Glob.existsis a faithful swap. It reusestoGlobOptions, soinclude,ignore,dot,symlinkand cwd resolve exactly as they did forscan, and the early exit is the whole of the change in behaviour.- The mutation claim is exact. Dropping the options forwarding fails precisely two tests —
prunes with ignore, like scanand one sibling — which is what the description says. - Tests pass here:
packages/core/test/util/glob.test.ts12/12,packages/opencode/test/session/autoload-scan-root.test.ts3/3.
The rejected-alternative section is the part I would keep in future PRs. "Passing ignore: Glob.DEFAULT_IGNORE makes it slower, 61–82s against a ~51s baseline, because outside a repo the tree is not dependency-dominated" is a real finding in its own right, and it is the kind of thing that otherwise gets re-proposed in review by someone reasoning from the general case.
Approving. Two things I would still do before merge, neither of them a defect in the code:
1. The description does not mention the scan-root change. The PR reads as a pure performance fix — scan(...).length > 0 becoming an early-exit existence check. It also changes which files match, via autoLoadScanRoot falling back to the session directory when the worktree resolves to /. That is arguably the more consequential half: it stops an empty directory auto-loading the dbt skills off any dbt_project.yml on the machine. The verification table measures only wall-clock, so nothing in the description covers the semantics that moved. Worth a paragraph — the change is a good one and currently has to be discovered from the code.
2. A retained comment now contradicts the new behaviour. Detail inline on system.ts. Same substance as cubic's P2, framed differently.

Harmless, but it makes the diff look like it touches the provider layer.- coderabbit's nested
altimate_changemarker note is a style nit against the repo's marker convention; I would record it rather than fix it here. - Codex was summoned scoped to the swap-equivalence claims and had not returned as of 07:00Z, so the above is my read plus cubic's.

The comment three lines above this is now false for the case this line was added to handle.
// Search from worktree root so a skill that wants `dbt_project.yml`
// catches the file no matter how deep the user's cwd is.
That is exactly what stops being true outside a git repo. autoLoadScanRoot falls back to Instance.directory, so a match now has to sit at or below the cwd — a dbt_project.yml one level up no longer auto-loads its skill when the session starts from a nested directory.
I think the change is right and the old behaviour was the bug: matching from / meant an empty directory picked up the dbt skills from any dbt_project.yml anywhere on the machine, which your autoLoadScanRoot docstring says plainly. But the two comments now contradict each other in the same function, and the older one is the one a reader hits first.
This is also the substance of cubic's P2. I would characterise it differently than cubic does, though: it reads the change as a regression ("silently stops auto-loading"), when the state it narrows from was itself broken. Neither / nor the raw cwd is correct for a project that has no root — the PR trades over-matching for under-matching, deliberately, and that is a defensible call. It just needs to be a stated one rather than one a future reader has to reconstruct from two disagreeing comments.
Cheapest fix is to rewrite the older comment to say what the root actually is now and why it differs for non-git projects. If you want cubic's suggestion (walk upward to a discovered project root) that is a separate change and a bigger one — worth its own issue rather than growing this PR.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a real Git repository is rooted at / and the session directory is /workspace/sub, Project.fromDirectory also returns / as its worktree because the common Git directory is /.git; this value is therefore not uniquely a no-project sentinel. With pattern root-only.marker, filesystem state /root-only.marker present and no such file below /workspace/sub, the previous scan used cwd / and returned true, while this helper changes the cwd to /workspace/sub and returns false. This violates C5 for root worktrees; distinguish the no-project state using project/VCS metadata rather than the path alone.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
Review follow-ups on the `/` guard. `Project.fromDirectory` returns `/` in two different situations: a directory belonging to no git project (`vcs` undefined), and a git repository genuinely rooted at `/` (`vcs: "git"`). The guard tested the path alone, so it also narrowed the scan for a real root-rooted repo — a marker at `/` stopped matching a session started in `/workspace/sub`. `autoLoadScanRoot` now takes the vcs and only treats `/` as the sentinel when there is none, which is the same distinction `fromDirectory` draws when it picks the value. The comment above `anyMatchInWorktree` still claimed the root is chosen so a pattern "catches the file no matter how deep the user's cwd is". That stopped being true outside a project in the previous commit, and it was the first thing a reader hit. It now says what the code does and points at the docstring for why. The narrowing itself is deliberate and now stated where it belongs: outside a project there is no boundary to walk up to, so any wider root is a guess about which of the machine's files belong to this session — the guess the previous behaviour made, and got wrong. A marker above the cwd no longer auto-loads its skill in that case, which is the trade against loading skills from unrelated directories. Tests cover the root-rooted repo case; removing the vcs condition fails it. Verified end to end on a built binary: empty non-git directory 0 skills, non-git directory containing `dbt_project.yml` 2, inside a repo 2.

Absolute Patterns and Root The root option allows you to define a string path that serves as the starting point for absolute patterns (patterns starting with /) [1][3]. This root is resolved against the cwd option [2][5]. On Windows, patterns like x:/* or //host/share/* will always start in the corresponding drive or share directory, ignoring the root setting [1][6]. Notably, the root option does not limit the file system walk to that directory; a pattern containing.. can still traverse outside of the root [1][3]. Absolute Option The absolute option, when set to true, ensures that matched files are returned as absolute paths [1][3]. When false, they are returned as relative paths (relative to the cwd) [1][2]. If this option is not explicitly set, absolute paths are returned for patterns that are absolute, while all others are returned relative to the cwd [1][5]. This process involves string path resolution rather than extra system calls to get a realpath [1][4]. Path-Scurry and Containment Path-Scurry is the underlying utility glob uses for efficient file system traversal, designed to minimize readdir and stat calls by tracking path information and preventing redundant operations [7][8][9]. Glob allows you to provide a custom PathScurry object via the scurry option, which is used to traverse the file system [2][3][10]. Because Path-Scurry manages the tree traversal, it handles path normalization and resolution (including.. segments) internally [8][9]. However, as noted in the glob documentation, these mechanisms do not impose strict filesystem containment; if a pattern contains.. or is otherwise constructed to point outside the intended search area, the traversal is not restricted by the cwd or root settings [1][3].

Path Traversal (CWE-22): Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate
Constrain applyPaths to the scan root.
Glob.exists does not confine absolute patterns or .. segments to cwd, so applyPaths can match files outside Instance.directory in no-project sessions. Reject escaping patterns or enforce resolved-path containment before auto-loading a skill.

What does this PR do?
Skill
applyPathsauto-load asks one question per skill — does at least one file in the worktree match this glob — and answered it withGlob.scan(...).length > 0.scanresolves only after the entire walk completes, so each skill paid for the whole tree even when the first directory already answered.Two builtin skills ship with
applyPaths(dbt-develop,dbt-schema-verify), so every session pays this twice, before the first token — no configuration, no custom skills, no workspace required.How much it costs depends on what the worktree resolves to:
Instance.worktree/—Project.fromDirectoryreturns the global project (project.ts:293)Glob.existsusesglobIterate, which yields lazily, so the walk is abandoned at the first match.How did you verify your code works?
Same binary, same prompt, same account — only the implementation differs. Run from a directory outside a git repo:
scan(...).length > 0(current)Glob.exists(this PR)Inside a repo: 7.5, 7.3s — unchanged. The fix lands within ~1s of the floor, so the remaining startup is not this scan.
Traces confirm where the time went: a session with 73.3s of startup returned its first generation in 0.08s. The model was never the bottleneck.
Tests: four cases on
Glob.existspinning agreement withscan,include: "file"behaviour,ignorepruning, and a missing directory. Mutation-tested — dropping the options forwarding fails two of them.packages/core: 1072 pass, 26 fail — the same 26 fail on unmodifiedmain(verified by stashing this change and re-running).test/session+test/skill: 1516 pass, 0 fail.bun typecheck: 13 tasks clean. Marker Guard: passes. No new Prettier violations.Rejected alternative
Passing
ignore: Glob.DEFAULT_IGNOREhere, mirroring what #1184 did for the MCP scans, makes it slower: 61–82s against a ~51s baseline. Outside a repo the tree is not dependency-dominated, so every candidate path pays 12 minimatch tests while almost nothing gets pruned. Early exit is the right lever for an existence check; pruning is the right lever when the tree really is mostlynode_modules.Likely root cause
Two independent things combine; neither is a problem alone.
1.
worktreeis/outside a git repo — present since the initial import.Project.fromDirectorywalks up looking for.git; finding none, it returns the global project withworktreeandsandboxhardcoded to/(project.ts:293). That line is original to the repository's first commit (f2cd5c124, 2026-03-01) and carries noaltimate_changemarkers, so it is inherited upstream code rather than something added here. As a sentinel meaning "no project", it was harmless — nothing walked it.2. A per-skill worktree scan — added 2026-05-29.
anyMatchInWorktree(#849,a490bd45e) walksInstance.worktreeonce perapplyPathsskill, and the same change shipped two builtin skills carryingapplyPaths. Inside a repo that root is bounded and each scan costs ~10ms, which is what the code was written against — the comment on the function reasons explicitly about catchingdbt_project.yml"no matter how deep the user's cwd is". Outside a repo, the same call inherits/.So the combination has existed since 2026-05-29, and what determines whether anyone feels it is simply where the CLI is launched from: inside a git repo it is invisible, outside one it costs ~45s per session.
No evidence of a recent regression. The function is byte-identical since it landed, the two builtin skills gained
applyPathsin that same commit, and worktree resolution has not changed since the import. Reports clustering recently are more consistent with where sessions are being started than with any code change — a same-machine, same-account A/B differed by 51s vs 8s on working directory alone.This PR fixes the second half, which is the part that turns an inert sentinel into a filesystem walk. The first half is noted below.
Not addressed here
Project.fromDirectoryhardcodesworktree: "/"when no.gitis found. Beyond performance, that means skills auto-load based on unrelated files elsewhere on the machine — with this PR applied, the scan returnsmatched=truein 11ms atroot=/because some unrelateddbt_project.ymlexists on disk. That is a correctness question for whoever owns project identity, and deliberately left out of this change.Checklist
