What it does

Safe resolution of ci-blob:// URIs — extract specific fields without dumping full payloads

This skill covers safe resolution patterns to extract only the data you need. --- When to Use blobread Use blobread only when you need a specific payload from a graph node. Most Cypher queries return structured metadata that is sufficient without resolving any blobs. Do resolve a blob when: - You need the full input or output of a specific tool call - You need the content of a specific assistant turn - You need a specific field that is stored as a blob URI Do NOT resolve a blob when: - You are counting events, listing sessions, or summarizing metadata - The graph query already returned the structured fields you need - You are doing broad exploration — scan metadata first, resolve only if required Most queries don't need blobs. Always exhaust what the graph returns before resolving. --- How to Resolve a Blob Follow these four steps to safely resolve a ci-blob:// URI: Step 1 — Identify the U
