File Browser Skill

Quick Start

Resolve all paths relative to WORKSPACE=/home/alfred/.openclaw/workspace. Sanitize inputs to prevent escapes or absolutes.

  • To list directory: exec("scripts/list_files.sh", [rel_path]) → JSON {success: bool, data: array of names, error: string}
  • To read file: exec("scripts/read_file.sh", [rel_path]) → JSON {success: bool, data: string (text content), error: string}
  • Handle errors: For binary/large/non-text files, return error JSON.

Step-by-Step Workflow

  1. Parse user query for action (list/read) and relative path.
  2. Call appropriate script with sanitized rel_path.
  3. Parse JSON output; respond to user with results or error message.
  4. If path invalid or outside workspace, reject immediately.

Safety Guidelines

  • Enforce read-only: No writes, deletes, or exec beyond scripts.
  • Log accesses if verbose mode enabled.
  • For large files (>10k chars), truncate or summarize.

Edge Cases

  • Empty path: Default to "." (workspace root).
  • Binary file: Return error "Non-text file".
  • See references/examples.md for more (if added).

Bundled Resources

  • scripts/list_files.sh: Bash wrapper for ls.
  • scripts/read_file.sh: Bash wrapper for cat with limits.
