Can I use this skill to transfer files over a VPN?

Yes, the skill specifically integrates with Tailscale to allow peer-to-peer communication and file transfers in environments where standard LAN multicast discovery is unavailable.

What is the spectral gap heuristic in this skill?

The spectral gap is a performance metric defined as 1.0 minus the ratio of observed to target throughput. This skill automatically tunes parameters until the gap is 0.25 or lower, ensuring at least 75% efficiency.

Does this skill require the LocalSend GUI application?

While it utilizes the LocalSend protocol, it is optimized for headless automation using CLI clients like jocalsend or small protocol wrappers to ensure Claude can manage transfers programmatically.

How does the skill handle discovery if multicast fails?

The skill uses NATS as a fallback advertising layer to exchange target IP addresses and ports, allowing devices to establish direct connections even across complex network topologies.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Facilitates high-performance peer-to-peer file transfers and cross-subnet discovery using LocalSend protocol integration and MCP toolsets.

Acerca de

This skill provides a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface for LocalSend, enabling Claude to automate secure file sharing and discovery across both local and remote networks. By bridging LocalSend's P2P capabilities with NATS and Tailscale, the skill overcomes standard LAN multicast limitations, providing a robust architecture for advertising capabilities, negotiating transport parameters, and optimizing transfer throughput. It includes a unique spectral gap heuristic to ensure data transfers maintain at least 75% of target efficiency while offering structured session logging via DuckDB for historical analysis.
