What would you like to see?

Currently, it only seems possible to write to files via @Agent in the Desktop version of the solution.
It would be super helpful to ask agent to create files in the dockerised version, too.
Thank you!

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2025):

Since the Docker version is intended to be a server-based and multi-user experience, writing documents to the server would not be useful. The circumstance in which that is practical is only on self-hosting on your device, which the Desktop app is better suite for anyway.

This is why such a tool is not baked into the server version, but the core functionality (fs.write) is fully possible to do with a simple Custom Skill
