Use when the user asks to read, view, show, open, or display the contents of a file or directory — phrases like "read src/auth.ts", "show me this file", "what's in this directory", "view lines 44-89", "look at the imports". Replaces cat / head / tail / less / more / bat / ls / tree / eza / find / fd / Read / Glob with AST-aware tilth MCP reading and file listing. Use even when the user says "cat", "less", "bat", "tree", "ls", "find", "fd", or "open the file" — never call host Read, Glob, or any shell file viewer / lister directly. If tilth MCP is unavailable, stop and report rather than fall back. Do NOT use for searching symbols or text (use cheez-search), editing code (use cheez-write), or git/gh operations.
