Invalid file path

Resolve Runner errors for skill drafts and files: meaning, safe recovery steps, and how to verify the result.

Skill drafts and files

Messages you may see

  • We couldn’t import these skills — nothing was added. Check the URL and try again.
  • We couldn’t read that file. Try another.
  • Invalid file path
  • A file with this path already exists
  • This file is over the 512 KB limit — pick a smaller one
  • Files already at the {limit} total limit. Remove one before uploading.
  • Total files exceed 2MB limit
  • Adding "{name}" would exceed the {limit} total limit. Largest existing files: {top3}
  • Total files size {total} exceeds the {limit} cap — remove some files before saving.
  • {count} files were too large and were left out — the skill still works without them
  • That change didn't save — your skills are unchanged. Try again.
  • Name is required
  • Name must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens (e.g. my-skill)
  • Description is required
  • Content is required
  • A draft named "{name}" already exists
  • We couldn’t save your draft — your edits are still on screen. Try again.

Skill validation happens before saving. Imports may reject individual files; check the imported file list before assuming the skill is complete.

  1. Fill in the name, description, and content. Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens in the name, and choose a distinct name if another draft already uses it.
  2. Use a relative file path with forward slashes. Do not start with a slash or include dot or double-dot path segments; avoid duplicate file paths.
  3. For size errors, remove or reduce the files identified by the message before saving. Review any files excluded by import.
  4. For a read failure, select the file again. Keep a copy of unsaved edits before retrying a save.
  5. For import failures, read the individual failure text, correct it, and retry only the missing imports.

Check: The draft or skill reopens with the intended content and files, and any intended skill setting remains saved.

If the error returns

Contact Support and community after one appropriate retry. Include the exact error, page or conversation URL, workspace/store, approximate time, and what you checked. Remove sign-in codes, credentials, payment details, and customer information.
