Files

Every agent carries its own files inside its .adf: the document, its mind (memory), and any other files it or you write. The Files view (2, or /files) browses and edits them.

Browse

Key	Action
`↑`, `↓`	Move; the viewer previews the highlighted entry
`Enter`	Open the file in the viewer · open or close a folder
`Backspace`	Close the folder · then go to the parent folder (never deletes)
`←`, `→`	Tabs: Files · Inbox · Outbox · Meta
`/`	Filter by path (fuzzy); `Backspace` edits the filter while you type

The viewer colours code, searches (/, then n / N) and shows binaries as hex. Backspace or Esc goes back to the tree, with the file still selected. A badge names the loop that last wrote a file.

Edit

Key	Action
`e`	Edit in your external editor, then confirm the write (a diff is shown; a change made meanwhile by the agent is detected)
`n`	New file
`m`	Rename or move (a folder moves with its files)
`d`, `Delete`	Delete (asks)
`p`	Protection: none → read_only → no_delete
`a`	Toggle authorized
`r`	Reload

From the prompt, from any view:

/doc                      # show the document
/mind                     # show the mind
/open notes/api.md        # fuzzy path; document and mind work too
/edit mind
/new-file notes/todo.md
/rm notes/old.md
/mv notes/a.md archive/a.md

In Chat, @ in the prompt completes a file path (Tab or Enter), to point the agent at a file.

The external editor is ADF_EDITOR, then VISUAL, then EDITOR (default notepad on Windows, else nano, then vi). Binary files can be viewed but not edited. A folder cannot be deleted in one go: delete its files.

Inbox, Outbox, Meta

Read-only tabs: messages the agent received and sent (Enter reads one, Backspace or Esc goes back, f filters by status) and its meta entries.

One-shot:

adf files agent-1                 # path, size, type, protection
adf file agent-1 notes/api.md     # print one file (binary: base64)
adf inbox agent-1
adf outbox agent-1
