Knbox

KN Box Skill

Use KN Box when you need to upload files for preview or sharing.

Requirements

• Use the knbox CLI as the only upload mechanism.
• Prefer non-interactive auth with KNBOX_TOKEN when available.
• Default server is https://box.kn.run.
• Do not upload sensitive information.

Verify Access

Before uploading, verify the CLI can reach KN Box:

knbox auth whoami --json

If this fails because the user is not logged in, ask the user to run:

knbox auth login

In a non-interactive environment, ask the user for a KN Box CLI token and set:

export KNBOX_TOKEN=knbox_xxx

The default server is already https://box.kn.run. Set KNBOX_URL only when the user explicitly wants a different KN Box server.

Upload Files

Upload a file or directory:

knbox upload <file-or-dir> --json

Upload into a specific remote directory:

knbox upload <file-or-dir> --to /agent-output --json

Read the returned JSON:

• data.entryUrl is the best URL to show for a webpage directory.
• data.uploaded[].url contains individual file URLs.
• summary is a short human-readable result.
• breadcrumbs contains useful follow-up commands.

Navigation

List files:

knbox ls [path] --json

Change the saved remote directory:

knbox cd <path>

Open a file or directory:

knbox open <path> --json

For a file, open returns the public URL. For a directory, it returns a directory listing.

Conflict Handling

Uploads fail on conflicts by default.

Use --rename only when creating a distinct copy is acceptable:

knbox upload <path> --rename --json

Use --overwrite only when the user explicitly wants to replace existing files:

knbox upload <path> --overwrite --json

Failure Handling

If knbox exits non-zero, read stderr and report the failure. Do not assume the file was uploaded.
