# File Downloader

Download files from specified URLs to local, supporting HTTP/HTTPS protocols.

## ⚠️ Important Note

**Always use absolute paths for output!** Skills directory should remain clean, only storing skill code.

skills_run(name="file-downloader", command="python scripts/download.py https://example.com/file.pdf -o /Users/xxx/Downloads/file.pdf -v")
```

### Advanced Options
```python

skills_run(name="file-downloader", command="python scripts/download.py https://example.com/file.pdf -o /Users/xxx/Downloads/file.pdf --timeout 60")

# Set user agent

```
