process-file

A file-processing helper for importing emails, PDFs, office documents, images, audio, and video into AkashicRecords, a governed knowledge base. It reads files, analyzes their purpose, and suggests where to store them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read, process, archive, or import external files and integrate their contents into an organized knowledge base.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of extracting useful information from mixed file types and deciding where imported material belongs. It can also use project preferences for repeated processing.

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 B, and why

process-file scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Process File Skill

Generic file processing Skill supporting multiple file formats for parsing and intelligent archiving, fully integrated with the AkashicRecords governance system.

When to use this Skill

  • User says "read", "process"
  • User says "archive", "import"
  • User provides file path for processing
  • User wants to integrate external files into knowledge base
  • User provides email, PDF, Office documents, images, etc.

Workflow

1. Initialization - Read Preferences

Check claude.md:

  1. Read current project's claude.md
  2. Look for file-handling-preferences related record
  3. If path found, read preferences file

If no preferences file exists:

  1. Ask user: "This is the first time using process-file skill in this project. Where would you like to create the file handling preferences?"
  2. Suggest default location: file-handling-preferences.md in project root
  3. After user confirmation, create file and record location in claude.md

Preferences file structure:

  • Processing pattern records (by file type and content category)
  • Auto processing settings (whether to allow saving without confirmation)
  • Historical processing records

2. File Type Detection

Detect file type: Determine processing method based on file extension:

Type Extension Processing Tool
Email .eml mu view <filepath>
PDF .pdf markitdown <filepath>
Word .docx markitdown <filepath>
PowerPoint .pptx markitdown <filepath>
Excel .xlsx markitdown <filepath>
Image .jpg, .png, .gif, .webp, .bmp Read tool (language model direct read)
Audio .mp3, .wav, .m4a, .aac, .ogg Ask user
Video .mp4, .mov, .avi, .webm Ask user

Tool availability check:

  • Check if required tools are installed before execution
  • If mu not installed: Prompt Please install maildir-utils: sudo apt install maildir-utils
  • If markitdown not installed: Prompt Please install markitdown: pip install markitdown

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.
