# Files

Make your file-management app’s actions available to Apple Intelligence and Siri by adopting schemas for common file actions.

## Discussion

The `.files` domain defines app schemas that provide a
structured representation for common file actions and content.
Apply schemas in the `.files` domain to make your app’s file management functionality available to Apple Intelligence and Siri.

The following table maps example phrases that apply to each schema:

|Files intent schemas                                                                    |Example phrases                                            |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
|``doc://com.apple.AppIntents/documentation/AppIntents/AppSchema/FilesIntent/renameFile``|“Rename this file.” or “Rename document.txt to report.txt.”|

> Tip: Xcode generates a template implementation when you type `files_` and select a schema from the suggestions list.
