Route Management Skill

This skill teaches the agent how to configure route mappings for the workspace content server.

Overview

The workspace content server serves files and surfaces from the current workspace. By default, it serves:

• /images/ -> public/generated-images/
• / -> public/ (if exists)
• /surface/:id -> Surface HTML Preview

You can customize this behavior by creating a .route-map.json file in the workspace root.

Route Map Configuration

The .route-map.json file is a JSON object where keys are external routes and values are internal targets.

Rules

1. Exclusivity: If .route-map.json exists, DEFAULT ROUTES ARE DISABLED. Only mapped routes will work.
2. Wildcards: Use /* at the end of both key and value to map a directory.
3. Surfaces: Use surface:<id> as the target to serve a UI Surface.
4. Files: Map a specific route to a specific file path.

Schema Example

{
  "/assets/*": "public/assets/*",
  "/gallery/*": "public/generated-images/*",
  "/dashboard": "surface:dashboard-main",
  "/about": "public/about.html"
}

Usage

To configure routes, simply create or update the .route-map.json file using the write_file tool.

Example Task: "Map the generated images to /photos and the dashboard surface to /app"

Action:

{
  "path": ".route-map.json",
  "content": "{\n  \"/photos/*\": \"public/generated-images/*\",\n  \"/app\": \"surface:dashboard\"\n}"
}

Best Practices

• Always map public/generated-images/* to some route if you expect image generation to work properly. The system will automatically detect the mapped route for new images.
• Use distinct prefixes to avoid collisions.
