File Reading
Documentsfile-readingFile Reading is an Agent Skill for documents published in the decocms/studio repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.
Route a file to the right reader by extension (pptx, docx, xlsx, pdf, and plain text). Use as the entry point when asked to read or summarize an uploaded file of unknown type.
How to use this skill
Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.
- Open your project in Codex.
- Copy and paste the prompt below.
- Review files and risks before approving any action.
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/decocms/studio/blob/HEAD/packages/sandbox/image/skills/file-reading/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/file-reading, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.
Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.
file-reading — router by file type
When asked to read or summarize a file, dispatch by extension to the
appropriate skill under org/public/core/:
| Extension | Skill | Script |
|---|---|---|
.pptx | pptx | python org/public/core/pptx/extract.py |
.docx | docx | python org/public/core/docx/extract.py |
.xlsx | xlsx | python org/public/core/xlsx/extract.py |
.pdf | pdf | python org/public/core/pdf/extract.py |
.txt, .md | — | cat |
.csv | — | cat (or column -t -s, for alignment) |
.json | — | cat (or jq . if structure matters) |
For extensions not listed, read the corresponding SKILL.md under
org/public/core/ if one exists, otherwise fall back to file <path> to
identify the format and proceed manually.
