Files and previews
Files the agent shows you
Section titled “Files the agent shows you”When the agent has something to show (a figure, a table, a report), it runs codeflower-show, and the files open
in tabs beside the chat, in the window you last sent a message from. Paths in the chat open the same way when you
click them, and so do files in the sandbox’s folder list.
A preview follows its file: when the agent changes it, the tab updates.
| Kind | Shown as |
|---|---|
| Images (PNG, JPEG, SVG, …) | the image, with comments on regions and SVG elements |
| Markdown | rendered |
| HTML, including reports | rendered (reports also open interactively) |
| CSV, TSV | a table |
| JSON, text and code | an editor; text files can be edited and saved |
PDFs cannot be previewed yet.
Feedback on a figure
Section titled “Feedback on a figure”Under a preview, Tell the agent sends your feedback to the chat the file came from (or one you pick). On a figure:
- drag over an area, or click an element of an SVG, and write a comment for it
- add as many as you like; each is numbered on the figure
They go to the agent together, as one message about that file. If the agent is busy, it reads them when its turn ends.
Editing
Section titled “Editing”Text files open in an editor. Save writes them back into the sandbox, into the workspace or a read-write folder. If the agent changed the file since you started editing, you choose: Load theirs or Keep mine.
Uploading and downloading
Section titled “Uploading and downloading”In the app’s window, a sandbox’s Files lists its folders: the workspace, then Inputs, Outputs, Code and Skills.
- Upload: drop files or folders onto a writable folder, or use its menu’s Upload files… and Upload folder…. When names are taken already, choose Replace or Keep both.
- Download: a file’s Download…, or a folder’s, which saves it as a zip.
Uploads are checked end to end and can be up to 1 GB per file; a folder downloads up to 10 GB. Progress shows under Transfers.
Inputs and Skills are read-only in the sandbox, so uploads go to the workspace, Outputs or Code. In VS Code, use the app’s window for transfers; there, Save on a preview keeps a copy on your computer.
Where files are allowed
Section titled “Where files are allowed”The agent’s tools and these windows reach only the sandbox’s folders: the workspace and your mounted folders.
Writes go only to the workspace and read-write folders, never into hidden folders such as .git.
