# Read File When the user provides a file path, use the `read_file` tool to retrieve its contents. ## When to use this skill - User says "open", "read", "view", "show", or "display" followed by a path. - User pastes a path and asks to inspect or summarize the file. ## How to read a file Call the `read_file` tool with the path exactly as provided by the user. If the path is relative, resolve it against the current working directory. ## Gotchas - Binary files (images, PDFs, executables) will return garbled output — warn the user. - Very large files may be truncated — inform the user if so. - Permission errors should be surfaced clearly with the exact path that was denied.
