Agent-to-Owner File Bridge

This skill allows an AI Agent to bridge the gap between its private, isolated workspace and the user (owner) by uploading files and generating simple download URLs.

🛠 Prerequisites & Setup

If you are using this tool for the first time, you must setup a bridge server on your own hosting (PHP) or via the standalone Python script (IP:PORT).

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/mrbeandev/OpenClaw-File-Links-Tool

Setup Instructions:

1. Clone the repository to your host.
2. Follow the instructions in the README.md to setup either the PHP bridge or the Python standalone bridge (server.py).
3. Set your API_KEY in the .env file on your server.
4. Provide the AI Agent with your Server URL and API Key.

🤖 Instructions for AI Agent

When the user requests to upload or share a file:

1. Check for Bridge: Determine if a File Bridge is already configured.

2. Onboarding (The "Smart Choice"): If no bridge exists, ask the user exactly one question:

   "I can help you share files. How would you like to handle the hosting?

   1. Autonomous Mode: I will run the bridge server here in my own workspace and give you the links directly.
   2. Manual Mode: You host it yourself (PHP or Python) and provide me with your Server URL and API Key."

3. Execution - Autonomous Mode:

   • Clone/Copy server.py from this repo.
   • Generate a secure API_KEY and save it in a .env file.
   • Run the server (e.g., python server.py).
   • Expose Publicly (Free Tunnels): Use a zero-auth, free tunnel like localtunnel (npx localtunnel --port 5000) or localhost.run (ssh -R 80:localhost:5000 localhost.run).
   • Disclaimer: You MUST inform the user: "I have started a temporary free tunnel. This link will expire once my session ends or the tunnel closes."
   • Store the resulting URL and Key for future use.

4. Execution - Manual Mode:

   • Wait for the user to provide the SERVER_URL and API_KEY.

5. Perform Upload:

   • Use POST / on the server URL with the X-API-Key header.
   • Send the file as multipart form-data.
   • Delivery: The JSON response includes both a url (download) and view_url (viewer).
     • Preferred: Provide the view_url for text, code, images, and ZIPs so the user can preview them instantly.
     • Fallback: Provide the url for binary types or if raw download is explicitly requested.
