foxctl File Reservations

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you avoid concurrent edit conflicts when multiple agents or processes may modify the same files at the same time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Reserve and release files: Claim exclusive or shared access to specific paths so only the intended actor can modify or read them.
• Detect conflicts before writes: Check whether requested paths and modes conflict with existing reservations.
• Track reservation state: List active reservations to coordinate multi-agent work across sessions.

Real-world example: when two agents both try to update the same documentation file while planning changes, reservations ensure only the appropriate agent holds the right to edit (or confirms it’s safe to proceed).

Quick Start

Ask the mailbox controller to reserve a set of file paths for your actor in exclusive mode for the next task window.
