Documentation

Files and documents

LlamaBoss routes each file type differently: small text is placed directly into model context, while structured documents are imported into the conversation workflow and inspected through dedicated tools.

Applies to LlamaBoss v0.1.9 ยท Updated 2026-07-12

Three ways to attach files

  1. Click the paperclip and choose files.
  2. Drag files onto the chat window.
  3. Copy an image or screenshot and paste it into the composer.

Up to 10 pending attachments can be sent with one message. Images are capped at 50 MB. Text files that are baked directly into the prompt are capped at 100 KB.

What LlamaBoss recognizes

TypeTypical useHow it is handled
ImagesPNG, JPEG, screenshots, photosSent as multimodal image content to a vision-capable model.
Text & codeTXT, logs, source files, Markdown, configsSmall files are added to the message as readable text/code blocks.
PDFReports, policies, fillable formsImported into the chat workflow and routed to PDF tools.
WordDOCX and DOCM documentsRouted to text extraction and structure inspection tools.
SpreadsheetsXLSX and CSVInspected with workbook/data tools instead of flooding the prompt with raw rows.
ZIPSource archives and file bundlesInspected safely before any approval-gated extraction.

PDF workflows

Agent Mode can extract text, inspect AcroForm fields, and fill compatible forms. A productive request is:

Inspect this PDF form, tell me which fields are available, and fill the fields using the information I provide.

Text extraction and form inspection are read-only. Filling creates a new PDF and requires approval. XFA-only forms may not be supported by the current helper.

Word, Excel, and CSV

Word

DOCX inspection can return paragraphs, tables, headers, footers, document properties, comments, and related structure when supported by the helper. Use Agent Mode for the smoothest workflow.

Excel and CSV

LlamaBoss can inspect sheets and columns, create summarized reports, convert CSV to XLSX, and create new workbooks. Read-only inspection can run without an approval card; file-producing operations follow the normal approval policy.

Inspect this workbook, remove duplicate records, create a polished summary sheet, and save a new XLSX without overwriting the original.

ZIP archives

zip_inspect lists archive contents without extracting them. zip_extract uses path and size protections and requires approval because it writes files. Archives are never automatically unpacked just because they were attached.

Where files go

Each saved conversation can have a user-visible workflow folder under:

%USERPROFILE%\LlamaBoss\Workflows\chat_xxxxxxxx\

LlamaBoss creates lanes such as Workspace, Documents, Spreadsheets, PDFs, Filled Forms, Word, Scripts, and other output folders when a tool needs them. Generated artifacts appear in chat as file cards and remain on disk.
