stephen94125 Read File
When the user provides a file path, use the read_file tool to retrieve its contents.
When to use this skill
- User says "open", "read", "view", "show", or "display" followed by a path.
- User pastes a path and asks to inspect or summarize the file.
How to read a file
Call the read_file tool with the path exactly as provided by the user.
If the path is relative, resolve it against the current working directory.
Gotchas
- Binary files (images, PDFs, executables) will return garbled output — warn the user.
- Very large files may be truncated — inform the user if so.
- Permission errors should be surfaced clearly with the exact path that was denied.
