Open files in Emacs
Open files from the most recent interaction in Emacs buffers using emacsclient --eval. Only include files relevant to the latest interaction (files just generated, edited, listed, or produced by the most recent tool output), not all files mentioned throughout the conversation.
How to open
First, locate agent-skill-open.el which lives alongside this skill file at skills/open/agent-skill-open.el in the emacs-skills plugin directory.
Each file spec in :files is either a string (file path) or a plist with :file and optional :line.
emacsclient --eval '
(progn
(load "/path/to/skills/open/agent-skill-open.el" nil t)
(agent-skill-open
:files (quote ((:file "/path/to/file1.txt"
:line 42)
"/path/to/file2.txt"
"/path/to/file3.txt"))))'
Rules
- Use absolute paths for files.
- Use
:linewhen a specific line is relevant (e.g., an error location or a newly added function). - Locate
agent-skill-open.elrelative to this skill file's directory. - If no relevant files exist in the recent interaction, inform the user.
- Run the
emacsclient --evalcommand via the Bash tool.
