Analyze With File

The analyze-with-file skill enables AI agents to read and process local files directly from the user's filesystem. It allows the agent to ingest text, code, or data from specified paths to perform immediate analysis without external API calls.

When to use it

• Reviewing a specific source code file for bugs or architectural issues before refactoring.
• Parsing a CSV or JSON log file to summarize error patterns or extract key metrics.
• Loading a requirements.txt or package.json file to understand project dependencies.
• Analyzing a markdown documentation file to check for consistency or missing sections.

Key capabilities

• Reads content from files located on the local machine.
• Accepts specific file paths as input parameters.
• Returns the full text content of the file to the agent context.
• Supports various common file formats including code, logs, and data files.

Example prompts

• "Read src/main.py and explain the logic of the data processing pipeline."
• "Analyze logs/error_2023.log and list the top three recurring error messages."
• "Load requirements.txt and tell me which Python versions are supported by this project."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the file path provided is absolute or correctly relative to your current working directory, as the agent cannot access files outside its granted scope. This skill relies on local filesystem access; it will not work if the agent lacks permission to read the specific directory.
