+description: Read binary workspace files (docx, odt, xlsx, pptx, pdf, epub, ipynb, images, audio, zip and tar archives, V8 CPU and heap profiles) as clean budgeted markdown with the \`fileq\` CLI, and read big text-shaped files (csv, json, logs) without flooding your context.

+---
+
+# fileq: binary files as markdown
+
+The \`fileq\` CLI (on PATH) turns the workspace files you cannot open as text into markdown, and keeps a
+sidecar copy fresh so reading twice derives once.
+
+## Read a file
+\`fileq <file>\` (or \`fileq read <file> --budget 8000\`)
+- Prints a capsule (format, token cost), the content up to the budget, and \`saved:\` — the sidecar path
+  carrying the whole thing. Over budget, the cut is announced with that exact path to Read.
+- Formats: docx and odt (headings, lists, tables), xlsx (capped tables), pptx (slides + speaker notes),
+  pdf (text layer; ${OCR_FORMAT[host]}, and the note says the words are
+  recognised, not exact), epub (chapters in reading order), ipynb (cells, fenced code, capped outputs),
+  png/jpg/gif/webp (dimensions + EXIF), mp3/wav/flac/mp4/… (duration + tags), html, and V8 profiles
+  (\`.cpuprofile\` from \`node --cpu-prof\`, \`.heapprofile\` from \`--heap-prof\`) as functions ranked by self and total cost.
+- Archives (zip, jar, whl, tar, tgz, and what tar can open: xz, bzip2, zstd) derive to a MEMBER LISTING —
+  paths and sizes, capped — never their contents: unpack one if you need what is inside. A single
+  compressed file (\`server.log.gz\`) is the exception and derives to its text, since there the archive is
+  the document. 7z and rar answer that nothing here opens them.
+
+## Check the sidecar first
+A file may already have a shadow at \`${DERIVED_DIR}/<path>.md\` — front matter says which
+source hash it was derived from. \`fileq read\` checks freshness for you, so prefer it over trusting a
+shadow's age by eye.
+
+## What it refuses, and why
+${OCR_REFUSAL[host]}
+- Plain text (md, csv, txt, code) is not fileq's business: Read it directly — but see below for the big ones.
+- Web pages belong to \`webq\`; images for a vision model belong to the Read tool, which shows the pixels.
+
+${host === "sandbox" ? TEXTCONV : ""}Exit codes: 0 content, 1 nothing derivable, 2 broken invocation or install.
+
+## Text-shaped files that are too big to cat
+The commonest way to lose a context window is \`cat\` on a file you have not sized. Stat first, then read
+the shape, then only what the question needs:
+- **Size first**: \`wc -c <file>\`. Under ~20 KB, Read it whole. Over, \`head -100\` and \`tail -100\` to
+  orient, \`rg\` for what the task actually asks about, the whole file only if you genuinely need all of it.
+- **CSV / TSV**: never \`head -n 5\` blindly — a 50 KB quoted cell in row 1 wrecks it. \`head -c 4000\` for
+  a glance; for the shape, python with \`csv\` and a row cap, or \`fileq\` after converting to xlsx is
+  overkill: \`python3 -c 'import csv,sys; r=csv.reader(open(sys.argv[1])); print(next(r)); print(sum(1 for _ in r))' <file>\`
+  gives header and row count without loading it all.
+- **JSON**: structure before content — \`jq 'type' <file>\`, then \`jq 'if type=="array" then length elif type=="object" then keys else . end'\`
+  (guarded: \`keys\` errors on a scalar root). Drill only into what was asked. **JSONL**: never \`jq\` the
+  whole file; \`head -3 <file> | jq .\` and \`wc -l\`.
+- **Logs**: the end is what matters — \`tail -200\`, then \`rg\` for the error text.
+- **Archives (zip, tar.*)**: list, never auto-extract — \`unzip -l\`, \`tar -tf\` (auto-detects compression).
+  Extract one member with \`unzip -p <zip> <path>\` or \`tar -xOf <tar> <path>\`. A single \`.gz\` has no
+  listing: \`zcat <file> | head -50\`.
+- **Unknown extension**: \`file <path>\` then \`xxd <path> | head -5\`; if the bytes mean nothing to you,
+  ask rather than guess.
