## What it does

The skill guides agents through handling Celigo Storage folders inside integrator.io. Workflows run through the Celigo CLI, REST API calls, or Celigo MCP tools like `list_storage_items` and `upsert_storage_item`. It covers file uploads, item restores, SFTP folder provisioning for external partners, and running read-only SQL queries via Storage Query.

Items rely on a stable identifier `_id`. Moving or renaming an item preserves this identifier, which prevents broken references across integration flows. In contrast, copying generates a brand-new `_id`. Data transfers bypass the API directly to short-lived S3 URLs, using single PUT requests for payloads up to 5 GB and multipart transfers for larger files.

Deleting a file does not free quota immediately. Bytes shift from `activeUsage` to `recycleBinUsage`, remaining part of `totalUsage` until a permanent purge or until 30 days elapse. When you hit the limit, uploads fail with `STORAGE_QUOTA_EXCEEDED`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-file-storage -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/managing-file-storage/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/managing-file-storage/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-file-storage -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/managing-file-storage/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-file-storage -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/managing-file-storage/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install celigo/ai managing-file-storage
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/managing-file-storage/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-file-storage -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/celigo/ai --path skills/managing-file-storage
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/managing-file-storage/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add celigo/ai --skill managing-file-storage -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/celigo/ai/tree/HEAD/skills/managing-file-storage/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- grant a trading partner SFTP access to a specific storage folder
- run a read-only SQL SELECT query against CSV, JSON, or Parquet files
- update file contents while preserving its existing _id
- monitor account storage limits and purge items from the recycle bin

## Example prompts
- Check the account storage quota and show how many bytes remain in the recycle bin
- Run a Storage Query to select all records from `/Order to cash/inbound/orders.csv`
- Replace the content of file `_id` `12345` with the newly generated report

description: Manage Celigo Storage -- the file and folder store built into integrator.io that flows, MCP servers, trading partners and people share -- plus Storage Query (read-only SQL over stored files) and the Celigo-hosted SFTP file server. Covers stable item ids, integration system folders, upload, move, copy, merge and replace, the recycle bin and the storage quota. Use when uploading, finding, organizing, restoring or purging stored files, reading the storage quota, querying a stored CSV, JSON or Parquet file, or giving a trading partner SFTP access.

# Managing File Storage

Celigo Storage is file storage built into integrator.io: files and folders an account keeps next to its integrations, with no S3 bucket or SFTP host of its own. Four kinds of consumer share it:

- **Flows** read and write storage folders through file steps on a Celigo APIs connection
- **MCP servers** publish a stored file as a read-only resource
- **Trading partners** log in to the Celigo-hosted SFTP file server; each partner account is rooted in a storage folder
- **People** upload, download, and organize files

Two add-ons sit on top: **Storage Query** runs one read-only SQL `SELECT` over stored files ([references/storage-query.md](references/storage-query.md)), and the **file server** gives partners SFTP logins into storage folders ([references/file-server.md](references/file-server.md)).

## How to Run the Steps

This skill names each step by what it reads or changes; the exact calls depend on how you reach the account. Read the one reference that matches your tools -- both follow the step numbers of How to Manage Stored Files below:

- **Celigo MCP tools** (`list_storage_items`, `upsert_storage_item`, `restore_storage_item`, `get_storage_file_download_url`, `cancel_storage_upload`, `delete_resource`) -- [references/mcp.md](references/mcp.md)
- **The `celigo` CLI** (`celigo storage`, `celigo recycle-bin`, `celigo file-server`) -- [references/cli.md](references/cli.md)

Storage Query and the file server have no MCP tools: use the CLI or the REST API.

Listing, searching, reading metadata, downloading, reading the quota, and running a Storage Query only read. Uploading, replacing content, creating folders, renaming, moving, copying, merging, deleting, restoring, and purging write to the account. A purge can't be undone, and neither can a content replace once it finalizes.

## The Storage Model

### Items are addressed by id, not by path
```
END THIRD-PARTY FILE d324b6a7082de882

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the d324b6a7082de882 tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
