What This Skill Does

The Folder Inspector skill is a powerful utility for OpenClaw users, designed to provide visibility into local file systems. By leveraging this tool, the AI agent can scan specified directories, retrieve file lists, report on file sizes, and assist in identifying storage usage patterns. It acts as an interface between the user's natural language requests and the underlying operating system's file structure, making directory management intuitive and conversational.

Installation

To add the Folder Inspector to your OpenClaw environment, use the command line interface to pull the module directly from the central repository. Simply execute: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/jayxu-d/folder-inspector Ensure your agent has the necessary filesystem permissions to read the directories you intend to inspect before triggering the skill.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for users performing local file organization or system maintenance. Use it when you need to audit large directories, find specific files without manually clicking through folder structures, or quickly verify the contents of a newly downloaded package. It is particularly effective for developers managing project dependencies or users identifying space-hogging files on their local storage.

Example Prompts

  1. "Could you scan the /Users/workspace/projects directory and list all the files currently inside?"
  2. "I need to clean up some space. Can you check the /var/log folder and tell me which files are the largest?"
  3. "Show me the contents of the /etc/nginx directory so I can verify the configuration files are present."

Tips & Limitations

  • Absolute Paths: Always prioritize providing absolute paths (e.g., /home/user/data) to ensure the agent targets the correct directory immediately. If you provide a relative path, the agent will attempt to resolve it, but accuracy may vary depending on the current working directory.
  • Read-Only: This skill is strictly designed for inspection and does not have the authority to move, delete, or modify files. This makes it a very safe, read-only operation for your system.
  • Performance: For extremely large directories containing thousands of files, consider narrowing your scope to specific sub-folders to reduce latency in the agent's response time.
  • Privacy: Be mindful that using this skill allows the agent to read file metadata; ensure your environment configuration adheres to your privacy standards.
