files-inspect

files-inspect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kurtosis-tech/kurtosis. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,335 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for working with Kurtosis file artifacts, which are named groups of files stored in a test environment and mounted into services. It covers viewing, downloading, uploading, and diagnosing these files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list artifacts in an enclave, download files for local inspection, upload local files, and troubleshoot how files are passed into containers.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a service cannot find an expected file or is using the wrong configuration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

files-inspect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Files Inspect

Work with Kurtosis file artifacts — the mechanism for passing files between services and into containers.

What are file artifacts?

File artifacts are named collections of files stored in an enclave. They're created by:

  • plan.upload_files() — upload local files from a package
  • plan.render_templates() — render Go templates with data
  • plan.store_service_files() — copy files from a running service
  • plan.run_sh() / plan.run_python() — store output files from scripts

Services mount artifacts via the files parameter in ServiceConfig.

List artifacts in an enclave

kurtosis enclave inspect <enclave-name>

The "Files Artifacts" section shows each artifact's UUID and name:

========================================= Files Artifacts =========================================
UUID           Name
4a0563e5a391   1-lighthouse-geth-0-127
f49b81f30a8f   el_cl_genesis_data
88c3f17013f3   jwt_file

Download artifacts

# Download to a local directory
kurtosis files download <enclave-name> <artifact-name> /tmp/artifact-output

# Example: inspect genesis data
kurtosis files download <enclave-name> el_cl_genesis_data /tmp/genesis
ls -la /tmp/genesis/
cat /tmp/genesis/config.yaml

Upload files

# Upload a local file or directory as an artifact
kurtosis files upload <enclave-name> /path/to/local/file-or-dir

The command returns the artifact name and UUID for use in subsequent service configs.

Inspect files inside a running service

Verify files were mounted correctly by checking content matches expectations:

# List files at the mount path to confirm they exist
kurtosis service exec <enclave-name> <service-name> -- ls -la /mounted/path/

# Inspect file contents to verify correctness
kurtosis service exec <enclave-name> <service-name> -- cat /mounted/path/config.yaml

# Compare against expected content (e.g., check a key value)
kurtosis service exec <enclave-name> <service-name> -- sh -c "grep 'expected_key' /mounted/path/config.yaml"

# Or shell in for interactive exploration
kurtosis service shell <enclave-name> <service-name>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
