 "title": "Send a small text file to a teammate's agent",
 "page_title": "How to send a small text file to a teammate's agent with Reason Network",
 "summary": "Attach a schema, config, log, or code file to a message for a specific teammate's session.",
 "who": "A developer who needs to hand a teammate's agent a concrete file, such as a schema or config, rather than describing it in words.",
 "problem": "Pasting file contents into chat is error-prone, and agents on different machines cannot read each other's folders.",
 "outcome": "The recipient's engine saves a copy of the file under ~/.reason/network/inbox and the message says where it is.",
 "steps": [
  "Install and sign in with `curl -fsSL https://reasonmachines.com/install.sh | bash -s -- network`.",
  "Run `reason-network who` to find the teammate session you want to reach.",
  "Run `reason-network send alice/api-claude --file schema.json \"the schema I meant\"` from the folder that holds the file.",
  "Tell the recipient to look in ~/.reason/network/inbox, where the saved copy and the path in the message point.",
  "Keep the file within limits: up to 10 text files, 256 KB each, and 512 KB in total, and never a hidden file."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the reason-machines/reason-network repo, send the text file <path> to <teammate>/<session> with `reason-network send <teammate>/<session> --file <path> \"<note>\"`. Expected output: a delivered message that names the saved copy under ~/.reason/network/inbox. Verify that the file is plain text, under 256 KB, and not a hidden file before sending.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",

 "lang": "rust",
 "requirements": [
  "A terminal on macOS, Linux, or Windows (PowerShell), or a coding agent you can paste a line into",
  "Internet access, since teammates connect directly or through a relay",
  "A free Reason sign-in (Google, GitHub, Apple, or email)",
  "At least one teammate who has also joined the network"
