Files from a chat
How to download the files a skill leaves in a chat.
# Files from a chat Some skills run scripts and produce files, such as a spreadsheet, a report, or a short MP4 or GIF recorded from an animated design. When a run leaves files, they appear under the answer. A run hands over at most 10 files, each up to 25 MB. Word documents, Excel workbooks and CSV files open in the panel beside the chat. See [Documents beside the chat](https://docs.skilltreeos.ai/chats/documents-beside-the-chat/). Other files appear as download chips showing the file name and its size. Select a chip to download the file. If the download fails, a message says **Couldn't download** followed by the file name. Try again. ## Who can download Only the person who owns the chat can download its files. Files stay attached to that chat. ## What you get Downloads are plain bytes, not web pages that run. Files with the extension `.html`, `.htm` or `.svg` download as generic files rather than opening in the browser. Open them from your computer after downloading if you need to. ## Working folder A skill that runs scripts uses a working folder tied to the chat. It keeps what it needs between runs in that chat. This does not add documents to the knowledge the brain searches. ## When there is nothing to download Most skills answer inside the chat and leave no files. Skills that run scripts are set up by an admin.
