features

Built for operators,
not prompt engineers.

Every feature in Filepad exists to make agent work observable, auditable, and safe to hand off.

01/The workspace

Real files. Standard structure. Always readable.

Every Filepad workspace is a structured folder system, not a hidden prompt database or chat log. Every important file is something you can open, edit, version, and review.

Workspace
A shared space where humans and agents create and edit artifacts.
Folders
Organize artifacts and files however you want.
Artifacts
Editable documents: notes, rich text, rich docs, sheets, and diagrams.
Contracts
Machine-verifiable agreements with checks, evidence, and approval gates.
Approvals
Reviewable edit proposals before changes land.
Agent connections
External agents connect with scoped permissions and governed tools.

02/Visible context

The context stays visible to you.

No hidden prompts. No black-box context. Skills, memory, sources, and operating notes are files you can open, read, and edit directly.

03/Scoped agents

Scoped permissions. Governed actions.

Each Agent Access key is granted explicit scopes — read workspace, create artifacts, propose edits — with review gates. Revoke any key instantly. Every action is logged.

04/Review & approval

No write lands without your review.

Agents that need to update memory/ or write artifacts/ submit proposals. You see a line-by-line diff: what they want to add, what they want to remove. Accept it, reject it, or send it back. Every decision is timestamped and attributed.

05/FilepadAI

Ask questions and produce reviewable work.

FilepadAI is the native in-app assistant. Ask it to explain access, summarize files, debug unexpected behavior, or propose better organization with the context of your actual file tree.

06/Agent Access

Point any MCP-capable agent at any workspace.

Use Filepad remote MCP for OpenClaw, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and custom agents. The backend turns scoped Agent Access into safe tools for reading context, searching files, creating artifacts, proposing edits, and reporting activity.
