Built for difficult archive jobs

Nested archives

Continue through multiple archive layers with bounded depth and clear output folders.

Split archives

Recognize supported multipart sets and avoid processing every part as a separate archive.

Visible progress

Report the current archive, phase, layer, elapsed time, and completion evidence.

Cross-platform

Reviewed workflows for Linux, macOS, and Windows with platform-specific packages.

Source preservation

Keep source archives by default and avoid silent overwrites or unknown executable launches.

Batch organization

Handle files, folders, absolute or relative paths, and matched inputs consistently.

Install and use the Skill

The installer audits the directory, stages it atomically, and backs up an existing installation when --replace is used.

1
Download the complete Skill ZIP and compare its SHA-256 below.
2
Extract it to a temporary folder; keep the top-level folder named unpack-flow.
3
Run the bundled install_local.py with --replace. It creates a backup before replacing an older copy.
4
Restart Codex, then ask naturally for an archive, folder, or batch to be unpacked.

Linux / macOS

python3 unpack-flow/scripts/install_local.py unpack-flow --replace

Windows

py unpack-flow\scripts\install_local.py unpack-flow --replace

Expected result: $CODEX_HOME/skills/unpack-flow/SKILL.md exists together with scripts, references, assets, and tools.

Example request

“Use UnpackFlow to inspect and unpack the archives in ./downloads. Preserve the originals and keep reporting progress.”

A live GitHub-backed download

GitHub Releases is the only version source. The website checks stable releases on a schedule, rejects unsupported major versions, downgrades, missing assets, checksum failures, unsafe archive paths, and same-tag digest changes, then atomically promotes the verified local mirror.
