File Management

XClaw includes a built-in file browser and management panel, letting you view and operate on workspace files without leaving the app.

The file panel uses a three-column layout: file tree on the left, file content in the center, metadata on the right. Files the Agent has read and modified during sessions are all accessible here.

XClaw supports preview of multiple file formats: code files (with syntax highlighting), Markdown (rendered), images, and PDFs. For Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), XClaw can automatically convert them into formats the Agent can understand.

File management goes beyond viewing. You can import external files directly as session context from the file panel, or export Agent-generated output to your local system.

The resource import/export feature lets you bundle a workspace's configuration, Skills, and data for migration to another machine or sharing with team members.

How to

Click the file icon in the left sidebar (typically a folder-shaped icon) to open the file panel. The file tree shows the directory structure associated with the current workspace.

Click any file to preview its content in the center pane. Code files get automatic syntax highlighting, and Markdown renders as formatted text. Double-click a filename to rename it.

Want to add a file to the current session's context? Right-click the file in the file panel and choose "Add to Session Context," or simply drag the file into the session input box. This works the same as using @mention in conversation.

Agent generated something useful (like a code snippet or a report)? Click the "Export" button on the message in the session to save the content as a local file.

Need to migrate your entire workspace to another machine? Use the "Export Workspace" feature in Settings — it bundles your config, Skills, and related data for import on the new machine.
