Reading files across a workspace can be slow or risky when dealing with large files, binary content, or the need to target specific lines. This skill provides fast, deterministic access to file contents with optional line ranges, while respecting access policies.
Read the file at path '/path/to/file.txt' from line 1 for 200 lines.

Line-range slicing allows you to read specific lines of a log file by specifying from and lines parameters to fetch exact sections. This prevents loading entire files into memory during log inspection.
Yes, reading binary files returns base64 encoded content when applicable. This encoding awareness ensures safe handling of binary assets alongside standard plain text file reads.
Global read access is the best way to inspect code or configuration files across a workspace, supporting both absolute and relative paths. It provides fast deterministic access to file contents for code review and config analysis.
Yes, the file reader works with absolute paths outside the current project directory by providing global read access to any file in the workspace, including external paths. It handles access restrictions robustly.
The reader provides robust handling for missing files and access restrictions when reading configurations, returning safe errors instead of crashing. This ensures deterministic access to file contents across the workspace.
DalomeveNormalize tilde-based file paths to absolute paths for file tools.
zeenie-aiRead local files with line-numbered output and offset/limit pagination.
AcosmiLocates regex matches across workspace files with file-type filtering and line numbers.
theowenyoungExtract text and metadata from PDF files using command-line tools.
