What is File-IO Upload Skill?
The File-IO skill provides AI agents with the ability to host and share files directly from the workspace. By leveraging the filebin.net API, this Openclaw Skills component automates the creation of unique storage bins and handles the underlying network requests. This eliminates the need for manual file transfers or third-party cloud storage login procedures when a quick public link is needed.
This skill is designed for transient file sharing, ensuring that developers can quickly move data from an agent's environment to a browser-accessible URL. It focuses on simplicity and speed, making it an essential tool for workflows requiring external file visibility.
File-IO Upload Skill Use Cases
- Sharing logs or build artifacts with team members for debugging.
- Hosting a temporary file for external review or client presentation.
- Generating a public download link for a processed asset generated by an AI agent.
- Automating the distribution of small datasets or reports from an Openclaw Skills workflow.
How File-IO Upload Skill Works
- The agent identifies the target file within the ~/.openclaw/workspace/ directory based on user instructions.
- A unique bin ID is generated using a hex string from a UUID, ensuring it complies with the 15–26 character length requirement.
- The skill executes a curl command to perform a POST request, uploading the file as an application/octet-stream to filebin.net.
- Upon successful upload, the skill constructs and returns a direct file link and a bin overview page URL to the user.
File-IO Upload Skill Setup
To use this skill within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, ensure curl is installed and available in your system path. No specific API keys are required for filebin.net, but the agent must have read permissions for the workspace directory.
# Ensure curl is available
curl --version
