# Basic File Handling (.zip, .md)

## Prerequisite

Users must understand how to:

- Download files generated by an LLM (specifically `.md` and `.zip`)
- Re-upload those files into different web interfaces ([[entity-claude-d40|Claude]] settings, [[entity-chatgpt-d40|ChatGPT]] chat window, [[entity-gemini-d40|Gemini]] chat window)
- Recognize when a `.zip` archive is acceptable as-is and when it needs to be expanded

## Reason

The entire cross-platform capability — i.e. [[claim-skills-are-platform-agnostic]] and [[action-export-skills-to-chatgpt]] — relies on moving these specific file types between different LLM environments. Without comfort here, the [[contrarian-ecosystem-lock-in]] insight is inaccessible to the user.
