What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of quickly inspecting local files by returning readable, line-numbered content without overwhelming the AI with entire large files.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Line-numbered output: Returns file content with tab-separated line numbers for precise referencing.
  • Pagination support: Uses offset and limit so large files can be read in chunks (e.g., logs, generated code, long configs).
  • Binary handling: Returns base64-encoded content for binary files so the content is still accessible when needed.

Use Case: If you are debugging a failing component and need to inspect only the relevant section of a large log or source file, you can request just the lines around the error.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to read /path/to/your/app.log starting at offset 0 with a limit of 200 lines.
