file-reading

Inspect uploaded files by routing them to the correct reading method based on their extension. This approach statst and previews files first, avoiding the mistake of reading binary or oversized content fully and wasting context.

The best way to read large CSV files is using size-aware reading methods that sample and preview the spreadsheet content first. This minimal-context preview preserves accuracy and prevents loading oversized logs or notebooks fully.

Safely list archive contents by applying safe archive handling techniques that inspect the file first. This method lists what is inside the archive and avoids accidental extraction unless explicitly requested by the user.

Yes, you can use extension-based dispatch to route PDFs, Office documents, JSON, and images to the correct inspection method. This smart file dispatch chooses the right first-reading method when only a filesystem path is available.

Reading every uploaded file as plain text causes problems because it blindly processes binary or oversized content. This wastes context and reduces accuracy, making size-aware reading and extension-based dispatch necessary.

Yes, file inspection works for logs and notebooks when only the file path is available. The skill applies size-aware reading by statting and sampling these files to provide minimal-context previews before loading them fully.
