What it does

Horse Files Streams is an agent skill from HashLoad/horse. Guide to handling file uploads (multipart), downloads, and stream lifetime management in the Horse framework.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage. The repository describes itself as: Fast, opinionated, minimalist web framework for Delphi. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

File Uploads (Multipart FormData)
File Downloads & Streaming
Critical Memory Rule (Stream Ownership)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4351a5. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are pascal).
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

Horse Files Streams loads about 601 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~601

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.

Horse Files & Streams

1. File Uploads (Multipart FormData)

When clients upload files via multipart form data, you can retrieve the file as a stream or save it directly to the disk using the THorseCoreParamField helper from Req.ContentFields:

pascal

procedure UploadHandler(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
var
  LFileField: THorseCoreParamField;
  LStream: TStream;
begin
  // 1. Get the file field
  LFileField := Req.ContentFields.Field('file');
  
  if not Assigned(LFileField) then
    raise EHorseException.New
      .Status(THTTPStatus.BadRequest)
      .Error('No file was uploaded');

  // 2. Save it directly to disk
  LFileField.SaveToFile('C:\uploads\' + LFileField.FieldName);
  
  // 3. Or access the raw TStream
  LStream := LFileField.AsStream;
  // Note: DO NOT free LStream if it is owned by the request lifecycle.
  
  Res.Status(THTTPStatus.OK).Send('File uploaded successfully');
end;

2. File Downloads & Streaming

To send files or custom data streams to the client, use Res.SendFile or Res.Download.

SendFile: Sends the file stream to the client (displays inline in the browser if supported).
Download: Forces the browser to download the file with the specified filename.

pascal

procedure DownloadHandler(Req: THorseRequest; Res: THorseResponse; Next: TProc);
var
  LStream: TStream;
begin
  LStream := TFileStream.Create('C:\data\report.pdf', fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyWrite);
  
  // Sends the stream and instructs the client to download as "report_2026.pdf"
  Res.Status(THTTPStatus.OK).Download(LStream, 'report_2026.pdf');
  
  // CRITICAL MEMORY RULE: DO NOT FREE LStream here.
end;

3. Critical Memory Rule (Stream Ownership)

The THorseResponse object takes ownership of any stream passed into SendFile, Download, or Render.

Rule: NEVER call .Free or FreeAndNil on a stream after passing it to Res.SendFile, Res.Download, or Res.Render.
Reason: The framework will automatically destroy the stream object once the HTTP response is written to the socket. Freeing it manually in your handler will cause a Double-Free memory corruption (Access Violation) when the response lifecycle terminates.
