Key capabilities

  • Summarize text files from workspace or output directories
  • Compute file statistics including line counts
  • Compute file statistics including word counts
  • Compute file statistics including byte counts
  • Extract short file previews

How it works

The skill executes a bash script that processes the target text file to generate statistics and a preview. It supports reading files from user-provided input directories or existing output directories.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Path to a text file in work/inputs/ or out/
You get back
A summary file in the out/ directory

When to use user-file-ops

  • Summarize large text logs
  • Get statistics for configuration files
  • Create previews of documentation drafts

About this skill

Overview

Summarize text files that come from the user or from other skills. This skill can compute basic statistics (lines, words, bytes) and capture a short preview of the file.

User-provided files are typically exposed under work/inputs/ (for example, when a host directory is mounted as inputs, or when the user uploads a file into the conversation and the framework stages it into the workspace before scripts run). Files produced by other skills are usually written under out/ and can be summarized directly from there.

Examples

  1. Summarize a text file already present in the workspace

    Command:

    bash scripts/summarize_file.sh
    work/inputs/example.txt
    out/example_summary.txt

  2. Summarize a different file

    Command:

    bash scripts/summarize_file.sh
    work/inputs/notes.txt
    out/notes_summary.txt

  3. Summarize a file produced by another skill

    Command:

    bash scripts/summarize_file.sh
    out/sample_fib.txt
    out/sample_fib_summary.txt

Output Files

  • out/example_summary.txt
  • out/notes_summary.txt
  • out/sample_fib_summary.txt

When not to use it

  • Processing non-text files
  • Performing complex data analysis

Limitations

  • Limited to text-based file formats

How it compares

This skill automates the extraction of file metrics and summaries through a standardized script rather than requiring manual inspection or custom command-line piping.
