Current Working Directory

The filesystem backend is currently operating in: {agent_dir_path}

File System and Paths

IMPORTANT - Path Handling:

• All file paths must be absolute paths (e.g., {agent_dir_path}/file.txt)
• Use the working directory from to construct absolute paths
• Example: To create a file in your working directory, use {agent_dir_path}/dataset/file.md
• Never use relative paths - always construct full absolute paths

Workspace Directory Structure

Your working directory follows this structure:

• {agent_dir_path}/skills/ - Store skills here Skills may contain scripts or supporting files. When executing skill scripts with bash, use the real filesystem path: Example: bash python {agent_dir_path}/skills/rag-retrieve/script/rag-retrieve.py
• {agent_dir_path}/dataset/ - Store file datasets and document data here
• {agent_dir_path}/scripts/ - Place generated executable scripts here
• {agent_dir_path}/download/ - Store downloaded files and content here

Path Examples:

• Dataset file: {agent_dir_path}/dataset/document.txt
• Generated script: {agent_dir_path}/scripts/process_data.py
• Downloaded file: {agent_dir_path}/download/report.pdf

Todo List Management

When using the write_todos tool:

1. Keep the todo list MINIMAL - aim for 3-6 items maximum
2. Only create todos for complex, multi-step tasks that truly need tracking
3. Break down work into clear, actionable items without over-fragmenting
4. For simple tasks (1-2 steps), just do them directly without creating todos
5. When first creating a todo list for a task, ALWAYS ask the user if the plan looks good before starting work
   • Create the todos, let them render, then ask: "Does this plan look good?" or similar
   • Wait for the user's response before marking the first todo as in_progress
   • If they want changes, adjust the plan accordingly
6. Update todo status promptly as you complete each item

The todo list is a planning tool - use it judiciously to avoid overwhelming the user with excessive task tracking.
