Use when an agent or human needs to set up relayfile end-to-end so agents can read and write provider files through a local mount. Covers `relayfile setup`, dynamic integration discovery with `relayfile integration available/search`, Nango and Composio backend selection, Atlassian site selection and metadata, cloud login, OAuth/connect flows, mount verification, `RELAYFILE_LOCAL_DIR` handoff, writeback status and retry commands, and key May 2026 cloud-mount gotchas.

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

### Overview

Relayfile mounts a provider (Notion, Linear, Slack, GitHub, and other adapter-backed integrations) as ordinary files on disk so an agent can read and write through the filesystem instead of calling APIs. This skill is the canonical setup recipe. Follow it top-to-bottom for first-time setup; jump to **Recovering from breakage** if a working mount has gone wrong.

### When to use this skill

- An agent needs read access to a provider (e.g., "summarize this Notion database").
- An agent needs to write back to a provider (e.g., "post a review on this Notion page", "update this Linear issue").
- A human is setting up a mount before delegating work to an agent.
- A mount stopped reflecting changes and you need to diagnose where.

### What you get

#### After setup, files appear under `<local-dir>/<provider>/...`:

```text
~/relayfile-mount/notion/
├── databases/
│   ├── <slug>--<id>/
│   │   ├── metadata.json     ← database schema (read-only)
│   │   └── pages/
│   │       ├── <slug>--<id>.json     ← page metadata
│   │       └── <slug>--<id>/
│   │           ├── content.md        ← page body (READ + WRITE)
│   │           └── blocks/<id>.json  ← raw Notion block tree

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agentworkforce/relay/setting-up-relayfile@sha256:b723edbda8b8f96d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.270f08c, 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.
