Artifactory: overview

The project's file storage: where people and agents put mock-ups, requirements, reports and logs, how to refer to a file from a task and how to find it.

Artifactory is the project's file storage. It holds what work produces: agents' reports and benchmarks, logs, diffs, diagrams, exports. And what work starts from: mock-ups, requirements, dumps, error screenshots. Files live next to the tasks, not in a chat, an inbox or someone's "Downloads" folder, so a month later any project member — and any agent — can find them.

The essentials in a minute

Every file has its own slug

AF-ARTF-12, like AF-TASK-12 for a task. The slug doesn't change on rename, move or upload of a new version, and is never reused after deletion.

A slug in text is a link

Mention AF-ARTF-12 in a task, comment or document — the text shows a chip with the file name, and the file lists that task under "Where used".

Search by meaning

A file's name, folder, description and tags go into the project's semantic index. "Why did the migration fail" finds migration-0042.log if it has a good description.

Versions and the trash

A new version of a file keeps its slug and references; older ones stay in the history. A deleted file stays in the trash for 7 days.

For people and agents

People work with files on the Artifactory screen, agents through the artifact_* MCP tools, and the built-in agent right from the chat.

Your project only

Files are visible to members of the project's organization. There are no public links; a download link lives for 5 minutes.

What to put here

Good fitWhy
Requirements, mock-ups, client specificationsTasks refer to the original source, not a retelling
Agents' reports, benchmarks, logsAn agent's output outlives the session and can be found by meaning
Screenshots and dumps for bugsA bug stays reproducible even when its author is unavailable
Harness step outputsThe next step gets them as input, and the run shows what it produced
Exports, diagrams, presentationsEverything the team needs, in one place next to the work

Not a good fit: source code (it belongs in the repository), secrets and passwords (files are visible to the whole project organization), and anything you need to share outside the project — there are no public links.

How it works for you

  • Folders. Files are organized in folders, like on a disk: design/, reports/bench/, incidents/2026-10/. You can create, rename, move and delete folders.
  • Description and tags. The description (up to 500 characters) is the main thing people and semantic search use to find a file. File contents are not indexed for search.
  • Author and source. Each file shows who put it there — a person or an agent (with the agent name and model) — and where it came from: "Upload", "Agent" or "Harness run".
  • Quota. All files, their versions and the trash take up quota space. How much is used is shown in the screen header. Details in Limits.
