What Relayfile Setup does

Relayfile Setup configures relayfile so agents can read and write provider files through a local mount. Use it to create a workspace, verify sync and writeback, and hand the mount off to a local or remote agent.

Relayfile Setup is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Relayfile Setup comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-collaboration, agent-communication, agent-skills and agentic-ai.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Overview

Relayfile mounts a provider (Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, and other adapter-backed integrations) as ordinary files on disk so an agent can read and write through the filesystem instead of calling APIs. This skill is the canonical setup recipe. Follow it top-to-bottom for first-time setup; jump to Recovering from breakage if a working mount has gone wrong.

When to use this skill

An agent needs read access to a provider (e.g., "summarize this Notion database").
An agent needs to write back to a provider (e.g., "post a review on this Notion page", "update this Linear issue").
A human is setting up a mount before delegating work to an agent.
A mount stopped reflecting changes and you need to diagnose where.
