Skills/Archive/List contents

List contents

~1 credits / megabyte (up to 100)

Lists the file entries in a zip or 7z archive without extracting any content. Returns each entry's name and size so you can inspect the archive before deciding to extract. This is the cheaper inspection path, billed on the compressed archive size rather than the uncompressed total.

Use when

You want to see what is inside an archive, or preview it before extracting.

Not for

Getting the actual files out, which extraction does.

Cost

~1 credits / megabyte (up to 100)

Priced at 0.5 credits per MB of the compressed archive, the cheap way to inspect before extracting.

Estimated; the actual charge depends on your input and is shown in the response.

What it accepts

Set these inside the intent when you run it.

archiverequired

The zip or 7z archive to inspect.

What you get back

A list of file entries in the archive, each with its name and size.

Run it

Run this sub-skill directly: pin it with operation and pass its inputs in the intent. (Omit operation and the Archive skill will route from your intent instead.)
