What it does
File Intel is an agent skill from earlyaidopters/second-brain. Run the Gemini file processor on any folder — extracts content from PDF, PPTX, XLSX, DOCX, CSV, JSON, and any text format, then generates Obsidian-ready summaries. Use when asked to "summarise this folder", "run file intel", "process these files", or a folder path is provided and summaries are needed.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Word documents, PowerPoint presentations and Excel spreadsheets. It works with Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and Obsidian.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to summarise this folder
- Process these files
- A folder path is provided and summaries are needed
Example prompts
- “summarise this folder”
- “run file intel”
- “process these files”
- “/file-intel”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Get the folder
- Run the script
- Open the output
- Report back
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72efde2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
File Intel loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 185 words (~481 tokens).
“Runs scripts/process_files_with_gemini.py on a folder of files and produces Obsidian-ready summaries.”
