Read File
Read any file from your project directory
Open any file in your project and see its full contents. Whether it's a JSON data file, a text report, or a CSV export, Luce reads it and presents the information in your conversation.
Why use this
- Access raw data — read the actual output from any workflow, not just summaries, so you can dig into the details
- Review before editing — see exactly what's in a file before making changes, so you know what you're working with
- Export and share — read a file's contents to copy, quote, or share specific data with your team
List your files first
You need to know the file path to read it. Ask your AI assistant: "List my project files" to see all available paths.
What you'll get
| What | Description |
|---|---|
| File contents | The full text of the requested file, displayed right in your conversation |
| Formatted output | JSON files are shown as structured data, text files as readable reports |
Step by step
Find the file you need
Start by listing your project files to see what's available and get the correct path.
"Show me all files in my project"
Ask to read a specific file
Use the path from the listing to read the file. You can use the relative path exactly as shown.
"Read the file onboarding/report.txt"
Work with the contents
Once you see the file contents, you can ask follow-up questions, request edits, or use the data to inform your next steps.
"Summarize the key findings from that report" or "Update the competitor section"
