Content Generation Workflow

PREREQUISITE: Read ../anygen-shared/SKILL.md for auth, global flags, and security rules.

Rules

Follow these rules exactly.

• Schema: run anygen schema <resource.method> to check required params and response if needed.
• Long-running: --wait commands will block, MUST use sessions_spawn to run in the background.
• Sending files on Feishu/Lark: Do not use the message tool to send files. It corrupts non-ASCII filenames into %XX garbage. Strictly follow the curl process in "Sending files".

Steps

1. Discover operations metadata: anygen task operations Do not guess operation types. Always run to get supported operations and their estimated time and thumbnail support.

2. Upload reference files (skip if no reference files): anygen file upload --data '{"file":"./data.csv"}' → Save file_token for step 4. Tell user the file was uploaded.

3. Gather requirements (skip if requirements are already clear): anygen task prepare --data '{"operation":"slide","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Make a Q4 report PPT"}]}' Present reply to user, collect their answer, then call again with prepare_session_id and updated messages: anygen task prepare --data '{"operation":"slide","prepare_session_id":"<id>","messages":[...previous messages...,{"role":"user","content":"user's answer"}]}' Repeat until status=ready. → When ready, show suggested_task_params.prompt as outline, confirm with user, then use it as prompt in step 4.

4. Create task: anygen task create --data '{"operation":"slide","prompt":"...","file_tokens":["<file_token>"]}' → Tell user the task is created, share task_url and estimated time (from step 1).

5. Wait for completion (long-running, must run in background via sessions_spawn): anygen task get --params '{"task_id":"<id>"}' --wait

6. Deliver (after step 5 completes, check the result):

   • No files (output.files empty): show message to user if present.
   • Has files + has thumbnail (has_thumbnail from step 1): anygen task +download --task-id <id> --thumbnail → Send thumbnail image with task_url as preview. Do not download files yet — wait for user to request download or modifications (→ step 7).
   • Has files + no thumbnail: anygen task +download --task-id <id> → Send files to user (see "Sending files" below).

7. Modify (on user request): anygen task message send --params '{"task_id":"<id>"}' --data '{"content":"..."}' Then wait for result (long-running, must run in background via sessions_spawn): anygen task message list --params '{"task_id":"<id>"}' --wait → Repeat from step 6 to re-export and deliver. All modifications reuse the same task.

Sending files

When user requests file download, or when delivering files from step 6: anygen task +download --task-id <id> To download specific files: anygen task +download --task-id <id> --file report.pptx

Feishu/Lark (message tool corrupts non-ASCII filenames, use curl instead):

1. Get credentials: read app_id and app_secret from the config file (e.g. cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json | jq '.channels.feishu' instead of openclaw config get). Make sure to use the credentials matching the current account.
2. Get token: curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/auth/v3/tenant_access_token/internal' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"app_id":"<app_id>","app_secret":"<app_secret>"}'
3. Upload + Send per file type:
   • Images (thumbnail, png, jpg, etc.): Upload: curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/images' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' -F 'image_type=message' -F 'image=@./preview.png' Send: curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/messages?receive_id_type=chat_id' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"receive_id":"<chat_id>","msg_type":"image","content":"{\"image_key\":\"<image_key>\"}"}'
   • Documents (pptx/docx/pdf, etc.): Upload: curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/files' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' -F 'file_type=ppt' -F 'file=@./output.pptx' -F 'file_name=output.pptx' file_type values: opus (audio), mp4 (video), pdf, doc, xls, ppt, stream (other). Send: curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/messages?receive_id_type=chat_id' -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"receive_id":"<chat_id>","msg_type":"file","content":"{\"file_key\":\"<file_key>\"}"}'

Other platforms: Send via the platform's message tool.
