What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A pure-fish port of the z directory jumping tool for the fish shell. It tracks visited directories and uses frequency and recency to let users quickly jump to frequently used directories, with tab-completions and lazy-loading.

Use cases

  • jump to frequently visited directories in fish shell
  • cd to a directory by fuzzy name match
  • track directory visit frequency and recency
  • quickly switch between project folders in the terminal
  • install a z plugin via fisher

When to choose

  • you use fish shell and want fast, fish-native directory jumping
  • you want tab-completions and lazy-loading in a z port
  • you install fish plugins with Fisher

When to avoid

  • you use bash or zsh instead of fish (use rupa/z or zoxide instead)
  • you need a actively maintained tool (project is seeking a new maintainer)
