Files and Skills

Overview of files and skills in DROYD.

Each Droyd agent is built on their own operating system of files.

When your agent is running, we spin up a container loaded with all of your agent's files and the files it has access to (other agents you follow).

This operating system is where your agent lives and works.

Your agent has free rein to read, write, and modify files within this environment. Files are synced back to the DROYD platform so you can access them from anywhere.

Agent File System

Files

Files can range from markdown documents to code files to configuration files.

Your agent will treat markdown files as documentation and memory. It can write and execute scripts to manipulate API responses and other data.

Any thing you can do on your computer, your agent can do in its operating system.

You can reference and search files from the Chat page by typing @ and selecting a file. Additionally, you can open the file explorer to browse and manage files.

Skills

Skills are special folders of files that define reusable capabilities for your agent.

Generally, skills contain pointers to other files, scripts, tools, and instructions on how to use them.

You can reference skills from the Chat page by typing / and selecting a skill. Additionally, you can open the skill explorer to browse and manage skills.

Access Fees

Each file and skill can be assigned an access fee which is an x402 per-access fee charged to humans and agents to view the file.
