# Skill: Project Files
## Description
Manage files in project directories. This skill documents the **public API** at `/api/v2/projects/{projectId}` (PublicApiProjectFileController). Upload flow: 1) POST prepare with directoryId; 2) PUT file to `upload_url`; 3) POST confirm with `file_id`. All paths require `projectId`; prepare/prepare-update also need `directoryId`. Authenticate with `X-API-KEY` header.

## Agent behavior
When the user asks to manage project files (upload, update, confirm, download, delete), do the following.
### 1. Choose the right endpoint
Base path: `/api/v2/projects/{projectId}`. Replace `project_id`, `directory_id`, `file_id` as needed.
| User intent | Endpoint | Method |
|-------------|----------|--------|
| Get upload URL for new file | `.../directories/{directoryId}/files/prepare` | POST |
| Get upload URL to update file | `.../directories/{directoryId}/files/prepare-update` | POST |
| Confirm upload after PUT | `.../files/{fileId}/confirm` | POST |
| Get download URL | `.../files/{fileId}/download-url` | GET |
| Get file metadata | `.../files/{fileId}` | GET |
| Delete file | `.../files/{fileId}` | DELETE |
| Create subdirectory | `.../directories/{directoryId}/subdirectories` | POST |
| HTML preview URL | `.../directories/{directoryId}/files/{fileId}/preview-url` | POST |
| Resolve paths → presigned URLs | `.../directories/{directoryId}/resolve-assets` | POST |
| Resolve paths → file IDs | `.../directories/{directoryId}/resolve-paths-to-ids` | POST |
| Create AI file | `.../directories/{directoryId}/ai-files` | POST |
| Trigger AI file | `.../ai-files/{aiFileId}/trigger` | POST |
| Cancel AI file | `.../ai-files/{aiFileId}/cancel` | POST |
### 2. Build and run the request
**Step 1 — Check environment variables first.** Before running any curl command, verify both `LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL` and `LAYERPROOF_API_KEY` are set on the user's machine:
```bash
if [[ -z "${LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL}" ]]; then
echo "ERROR: LAYERPROOF_BASE_URL is not set."
return 1
fi
if [[ -z "${LAYERPROOF_API_KEY}" ]]; then
echo "ERROR: LAYERPROOF_API_KEY is not set."
return 1
fi
```
If running from a project directory with a `.env.local` file, load it first:
```bash
if [[ -f .env.local ]]; then
set -a
source .env.local
set +a
fi
```
**Step 2 — Auth**: Include `X-API-KEY: $LAYERPROOF_API_KEY`. Read env vars; if missing, tell the user.
**Step 3 — Path**: Resolve projectId, directoryId, fileId from context or user input.
**Step 4 — POST**: Build JSON body from types above; run curl and show result.
**Step 5 — GET/DELETE**: Build path only; run curl and show result.
### 3. Upload flow
Prepare → PUT file to `upload_url` → confirm with `file_id`. Then use `file_id` for get/download/delete.
### 4. Response handling
- Always show raw JSON in a code block; show image + JSON if image URL present.
- On error, show body and status code.
### 5. Example workflows
**Workflow A — User**: "Upload a PDF to project X in the root directory."
1. Resolve projectId and directoryId (e.g. root directory from project or list directories). POST `.../directories/{directoryId}/files/prepare` with `{"path":"/","file_name":"brief.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","size":<bytes>}`; get `upload_url`, `file_id`, `s3_key`.
2. Tell user to PUT the file to `upload_url` with `Content-Type: application/pdf`. Then POST `.../files/{file_id}/confirm` with `{}` (or `{"metadata":{}}`).
3. Show JSON; use `file_id` for later get/download/delete.
**Workflow B — User**: "Upload two reference docs to the project, then use them when generating the slide deck outline."
1. For each file: prepare with path (e.g. `/ref1.pdf`, `/ref2.docx`) → user uploads to `upload_url` → confirm. Capture both `file_id` and `s3_key` (if returned) for each.
2. If outline generation accepts project file references: pass the project file identifiers (e.g. s3_keys or file_ids) into the slide-deck outline/generate request (e.g. `file_s3_keys` or equivalent). Otherwise use public-files for outline references and keep project files for project-scoped use only.
3. Hand off to slide-decks: POST outline/generate with the resolved keys; poll job; get deck.
**Workflow C — User**: "Update an existing file in the project (new version) and get a download URL after."
1. Resolve projectId, directoryId, and existing file path. POST `.../directories/{directoryId}/files/prepare-update` with `{"path":"/brief.pdf","mime_type":"application/pdf","size":<new_bytes>}`; get `upload_url`, `file_id`.
2. User PUTs new content to `upload_url`; then POST `.../files/{file_id}/confirm`. GET `.../files/{file_id}/download-url` to show the user a temporary download link.
3. On error (e.g. path not found), show response body and suggest verifying path and project/directory IDs.

## Response format (required)
- (if response contains url to show image) please show image and show json response instead of table
- Always show the **raw JSON response** (verbatim) in a JSON code block.
- If the response contains a URL for an image, **render/show the image** and also show the **JSON response** (do not convert to a table).
