Choose the right built-in Files.com report or export instead of assembling one by hand; use this when the user asks for a report, audit, export, or summary — storage/usage, bandwidth/transfer, activity/audit logs, webhook delivery, permissions, group membership, or share-link audits. Files.com already produces these as first-class resources (`usage-snapshots`, `bandwidth-snapshots`, `history-exports`, `action-notification-exports`, and `scheduled-exports`). Prefer them; only home-roll a report…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# recipe-generating-reports

Files.com ships built-in reports and exports for the questions people ask most often. **Reach for an existing report before building one yourself.** Home-rolling a report — listing records and aggregating them in code — is slower, burns API rate limit, and usually reproduces data the platform already computes (often more accurately, since the built-in figures account for deleted-but-retained files, billing high-water marks, and the like).

## When to use this skill

- Any request phrased as a "report", "audit", "export", "summary", or "breakdown".
- Before writing a loop that lists a resource just to count, sum, or tabulate it — check whether a built-in report already answers the question.

## The built-in reports

| Question | Use | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Storage usage, file counts, user counts, API-call usage | `usage-snapshots`, `usage-daily-snapshots` | Read immediately. Per-top-level-folder size and count via `usage_by_top_level_dir`. See `recipe-folder-size-and-counts`. |
| Bandwidth / transfer over time | `bandwidth-snapshots` | Supports `--filter`, `--filter-gt/-gteq/-lt/-lteq`, and `--sort-by` on the time range. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add files-com/files-cli/recipe-generating-reports@sha256:4ba61e77f723672c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.4eb6b13, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
