    From the README

    Life is short, skim!

    We spend so much of our time navigating through files, lines, and commands. That's where Skim comes in! It's a powerful fuzzy finder designed to make your workflow faster and more efficient.

    Skim provides a single executable called sk. Think of it as a smarter alternative to tools like grep - once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!
