# openFile

The app intent conforms to the schema for opening a file.

## Declaration

```swift
var openFile: some AssistantSchemas.Intent { get }
```

## Overview

Overview Use Swift macros that generate additional properties and add protocol conformance for your app intent implementation. The following example shows an app intent that conforms to the .files.openFile schema: @AppIntent(schema: .files.openFile) struct OpenFileIntent: OpenIntent {     @Parameter     var target: ExampleFileEntity

func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {         return .result()     } } For more information about the .files app intent domain, see doc:Making-file-management-actions-available-to-siri-and-apple-intelligence.
