PinMe Skill

Use PinMe CLI to upload files to IPFS and get a preview URL.

When to Use

General File Upload

• User wants to upload any files or folders to IPFS
• User wants to share files via decentralized storage
• User mentions “pinme”, “pin”, “IPFS”, or “upload to IPFS”

Website Deployment

• User requests deployment of a frontend project
• User wants to deploy a static website
• After building a frontend project (Vue, React, Next.js, etc.)

Upload Steps

1. Check if PinMe is Installed

pinme --version

If not installed:

npm install -g pinme

2. Identify Upload Target

For general files:

• Use the file or directory path specified by the user
• Can be any file type: images, documents, archives, etc.

For website deployment: Look for build output directories (in priority order):

1. dist/ – Vue/React/Vite default output
2. build/ – Create React App output
3. out/ – Next.js static export
4. public/ – Pure static projects

3. Execute Upload

pinme upload <path>

Examples:

# Upload a single file
pinme upload ./document.pdf

# Upload a folder
pinme upload ./my-folder

# Upload website build output
pinme upload dist

4. Return Result

After successful upload, return the preview URL:

https://pinme.eth.limo/#/preview/<hash>

Users can visit the preview page to:

• View or download the uploaded files
• Get a fixed domain: https://<name>.pinit.eth.limo

Important Rules

DO:

• Verify the file or directory exists before uploading
• Return the preview URL to the user

DO NOT:

• Upload node_modules/
• Upload .env files
• Upload .git/ directory
• Upload empty or non-existent paths

For website deployment, also avoid:

• Uploading source code instead of build output
• Uploading configuration files (package.json, tsconfig.json, etc.)
