# Files

> Browse task artifacts, Bridge workspace disk, and agent runtime files

## Route

```text theme={null}
/projects/{projectId}/memory
```

The URL path is still `memory` for backwards compatibility. In the app sidebar the section is labeled **FILES**.

## Purpose

**Files** is the project file hub on the Bridge host. Use it to inspect and edit content agents work with — without SSH.

| Tab           | What you browse                                                                                                                  |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **TASKS**     | Per-task folders under `{BASE_PATH}/.ctrlnode/tasks/` (input, output, artifacts)                                                 |
| **WORKSPACE** | Project work directory on disk, or Bridge **CTRLNODE\_ROOT** when no project path is set                                         |
| **AGENT**     | OpenClaw / Hermes agent workspace files (e.g. `AGENTS.md`, `MEMORY.md`) — shown when the selected agent uses a supported runtime |

<Note>
  **TASKS** is the default tab. Deep links from task detail or workflows open the right tab and path automatically (`?tab=knowledge|workdir|files&path=...`).
</Note>

## WORKSPACE tab

### With a [project work directory](/projects/project-work-directory)

The explorer starts in the folder you configured on the project (`repositoryPaths[0]`). Breadcrumbs show **PROJECT WORK DIRECTORY** and you cannot navigate above that root while staying in project scope.

Use the **`.ctrlnode`** breadcrumb or button to jump to Bridge **CTRLNODE\_ROOT** (`{BASE_PATH}/.ctrlnode`) — shared Bridge metadata, not the whole disk root.

### Without a project work directory

When **PROJECT WORK DIRECTORY** is empty, **WORKSPACE** opens **`{BASE_PATH}/.ctrlnode`** (same as **CTRLNODE\_ROOT** on the Bridge). The app does **not** list the raw `BASE_PATH` root in that case.

This matches **WORK DIRECTORY** tasks when no project folder is configured: agents use Bridge home under `.ctrlnode`, not an arbitrary parent directory.

## AGENT tab

Visible for agents whose type supports the agent file tree (e.g. OpenClaw, Hermes). Pick an agent in the left column, then browse that agent's workspace files. Other agent types still use **TASKS** and **WORKSPACE**.

## Bridge required

All tabs need an **online Bridge**. If disconnected, the page shows a warning and browsing is unavailable.
