What this skill does NOT do:

  • Upload files without informing the user and obtaining consent
  • Send your API key to any endpoint other than www.anygen.io
  • Modify system configuration beyond ~/.config/anygen/config.json

Bundled scripts: scripts/anygen.py (Python), scripts/render-diagram.sh (Bash), scripts/diagram-to-image.ts (TypeScript). Review before first use.

Prerequisites

  • Python3 and requests: pip3 install requests
  • Node.js v18+ (for SmartDraw PNG rendering, auto-installed on first run)
  • AnyGen API Key (sk-xxx) — Get one
  • Configure once: python3 scripts/anygen.py config set api_key "sk-xxx"

All scripts/ paths below are relative to this skill's installation directory.

CRITICAL: NEVER Block the Conversation

After creating a task, you MUST start background monitoring via sessions_spawn, then continue normally. NEVER use status polling or poll in the foreground — tasks can take up to 20 minutes.

  1. create → get task_id and task_url.
  2. Tell user: (a) generation started, (b) the online link, (c) ~10–15 min, free to do other things.
  3. Launch background monitor via sessions_spawn (Phase 4). Do NOT announce this to the user.
  4. Continue the conversation — do NOT wait.
  5. The background monitor handles sending preview/result and notifying the user directly, then replies ANNOUNCE_SKIP so the main session does NOT relay anything further.

Communication Style

NEVER expose internal implementation details to the user. Forbidden terms:

  • Technical identifiers: task_id, file_token, task_xxx, tk_xxx
  • API/system terms: API, OpenAPI, create, poll, status, query
  • Infrastructure terms: sub-agent, subagent, background process, spawn, sessions_spawn
  • Script/code references: anygen.py, scripts/, command-line syntax, JSON output

Use natural language instead:

  • "Your file has been uploaded" (NOT "file_token=tk_xxx received")
  • "I'm generating your content now" (NOT "Task task_xxx created")
  • "You can view your results here: [URL]" (NOT "Task URL: ...")
  • "I'll let you know when it's ready" (NOT "Spawning a sub-agent to poll")

Additional rules:

  • You may mention AnyGen as the service when relevant.
  • Ask questions in your own voice. Do NOT use a relaying tone like "AnyGen wants to know…".

Supported Operation Types

AnyGen Workflow (MUST Follow)

For all operations, you MUST go through all 4 phases. Use prepare for multi-turn requirement analysis, then create when ready.

Phase 1: Understand Requirements

If the user provides files, handle them before calling prepare:

  1. Read the file yourself. Extract key information relevant to the task.
  2. Reuse existing file_token if the same file was already uploaded in this conversation.
  3. Get consent before uploading: "I'll upload your file to AnyGen for reference."
  4. Upload to get a file_token.
  5. Include extracted content in --message when calling prepare (the API does NOT read files internally).
python3 scripts/anygen.py upload --file ./reference.pdf
# Output: File Token: tk_abc123

python3 scripts/anygen.py prepare \
  --message "I need a presentation about AI trends. Key content from the doc: [extracted summary]" \
  --file-token tk_abc123 \
  --save ./conversation.json

Present questions from reply naturally. Continue with user's answers:

python3 scripts/anygen.py prepare \
  --input ./conversation.json \
  --message "Focus on generative AI and enterprise adoption" \
  --save ./conversation.json

Repeat until status="ready" with suggested_task_params.

Special cases:

  • status="ready" on first call → proceed to Phase 2.
  • User says "just create it" → skip to Phase 3 with create directly.

Phase 2: Confirm with User (MANDATORY)

When status="ready", summarize the suggested plan and ask for confirmation. NEVER auto-create without explicit approval.

If the user requests adjustments, call prepare again with the modification, re-present, and repeat until approved.

Phase 3: Create Task

python3 scripts/anygen.py create \
  --operation slide \
  --prompt "<prompt from suggested_task_params>" \
  --file-token tk_abc123 \
  --style "business formal"
# Output: Task ID: task_xxx, Task URL: https://...

Immediately tell the user (natural language, NO internal terms):

  1. Content is being generated.
  2. Online link: "You can follow the progress here: [URL]".
  3. Takes about 10–15 minutes — free to do other things, you'll notify when ready.

All create parameters:

Parameter Short Description Required
--operation -o Operation type (see table above) Yes
--prompt -p Content description Yes
--api-key -k API Key (omit if configured) No
--language -l zh-CN / en-US No
--slide-count -c Number of PPT pages No
--template -t PPT template No
--ratio -r 16:9 / 4:3 No
--export-format -f Export format (slide: pptx/image/thumbnail, doc: docx/image/thumbnail, smart_draw: drawio/excalidraw) No
--file Attachment file path (repeatable) No
--file-token File token from upload (repeatable) No
--style -s Style preference No

Phase 4: Monitor and Deliver Result

Requires sessions_spawn. If unavailable, skip to Fallback below.

CRITICAL: When calling sessions_spawn, you MUST set a timeout of at least 25 minutes to ensure the background monitor completes. The poll operation can take up to 20 minutes.

Example spawn call syntax (adjust to match your OpenClaw/sessions API):

sessions_spawn(
    prompt=<subagent prompt below>,
    runTimeoutSeconds=1500  # REQUIRED: 25 minutes (1500s) to cover 20-min poll + buffer
)

If your sessions API uses different parameter names (e.g., timeout, maxDuration), use the equivalent parameter to set a 25-minute (1500 second) timeout.


Subagent prompt (it has NO conversation context). You MUST fill in all {...} variables before passing.

You are a background monitor for an AnyGen content generation task.
You MUST strictly follow every instruction below. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise any step.

Task ID: {task_id}
Task URL: {task_url}
Operation: {operation}
Script: {script_path}
Render Script: {render_script_path}
Export Format: {export_format}
Thumbnail Output: {thumbnail_output_dir}
User Language: {user_language}

IMPORTANT: This monitoring task may take up to 20 minutes. Ensure your execution timeout is at least 25 minutes.

CRITICAL RULES:
- You MUST reply in {user_language}.
- After completing ALL steps (including sending messages to the user), your FINAL reply
  MUST be EXACTLY "ANNOUNCE_SKIP" — nothing else. This prevents the main session from
  sending duplicate messages.
- Do NOT say anything beyond what is specified below. No greetings, no extra commentary.
- NEVER include technical terms like "task_id", "file_token", "poll", "sub-agent",
  "API", "script", "workspace", "downloaded to", file paths, or status labels
  in any message to the user.

Your job depends on the operation type:

## For slide / doc / storybook operations:
1. Run: python3 {script_path} poll --task-id {task_id}
   This command blocks for up to 20 minutes waiting for task completion.
   Do NOT pass --output — the file will only be downloaded when the user requests it.
2. On success:
   a. Download thumbnail:
      python3 {script_path} thumbnail --task-id {task_id} --output {thumbnail_output_dir}
   b. Send the thumbnail preview image to the user. Choose the correct method:
      - Feishu/Lark: Two-step process via OpenAPI —
        Step 1 (Upload image): POST https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/images
          curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/images' \
            -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' \
            -F 'image_type=message' \
            -F 'image=@{thumbnail_output_dir}/thumbnail.png'
          This returns an image_key.
        Step 2 (Send image message): POST https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/messages?receive_id_type=chat_id
          Request body:
          {
            "receive_id": "<chat_id>",
            "msg_type": "image",
            "content": "{\"image_key\":\"<image_key>\"}"
          }
      - Other platforms: Send via message tool with filePath.
   c. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}, natural tone):
      "Your content is ready! If you'd like me to send you the file, just let me know."
   d. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP

## For smart_draw operation:
1. Run: python3 {script_path} poll --task-id {task_id} --output ~/.openclaw/workspace/
   This command blocks for up to 20 minutes waiting for task completion.
2. On success:
   a. Get the local file path from [RESULT] Local file: line.
   b. Render to PNG:
      - For drawio: bash {render_script_path} drawio <local_file> <local_file_without_ext>.png
      - For excalidraw: bash {render_script_path} excalidraw <local_file> <local_file_without_ext>.png
   c. Send the rendered PNG image to the user. Choose the correct method:
      - Feishu/Lark: Two-step process via OpenAPI —
        Step 1 (Upload image): POST https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/images
          curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/images' \
            -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' \
            -F 'image_type=message' \
            -F 'image=@<local_file_without_ext>.png'
          This returns an image_key.
        Step 2 (Send image message): POST https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/messages?receive_id_type=chat_id
          Request body:
          {
            "receive_id": "<chat_id>",
            "msg_type": "image",
            "content": "{\"image_key\":\"<image_key>\"}"
          }
      - Other platforms: Send via message tool with filePath.
   d. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}, natural tone):
      "Your diagram is ready! You can view and edit it online here: {task_url}"
   e. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP
   f. If rendering fails:
      Send text: "The diagram has been generated but I couldn't render a preview.
       You can view and edit it here: {task_url}"
      Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP

## For finance / deep_research / data_analysis / website operations:
1. Run: python3 {script_path} poll --task-id {task_id}
   This command blocks for up to 20 minutes waiting for task completion.
   No --output needed — results are viewed online.
2. On success:
   a. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}, natural tone):
      "Your content is ready! You can view it here: {task_url}"
   b. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP

## Common error handling (all operations):
- On failure:
  a. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}):
     "Unfortunately the generation didn't complete successfully.
      You can check the details here: {task_url}"
  b. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP
- On timeout (20 min):
  a. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}):
     "The generation is taking a bit longer than expected.
      You can check the progress here: {task_url}"
  b. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP

Do NOT wait for the background monitor. Do NOT tell the user you launched it.

Handling the completion event. The background monitor sends preview/result and notification to the user directly. It replies ANNOUNCE_SKIP as its final output, which means the main session should NOT relay or duplicate any message. If you receive a completion event with ANNOUNCE_SKIP, simply ignore it — the user has already been notified.

When the User Requests the File (slide / doc only)

Download, then send via the appropriate method for your IM environment:

python3 {script_path} download --task-id {task_id} --output ~/.openclaw/workspace/
  • Feishu/Lark: Two-step process via OpenAPI — Step 1 (Upload file): POST https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/files
    curl -X POST 'https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/files' \
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer <tenant_access_token>' \
      -F 'file_type=stream' \
      -F 'file=@~/.openclaw/workspace/<output_file>' \
      -F 'file_name=<output_file>'
    
    This returns a file_key. (Note: use file_type="ppt" for PPTX, file_type="stream" for DOCX.) Step 2 (Send file message): POST https://open.feishu.cn/open-apis/im/v1/messages?receive_id_type=chat_id
    {
      "receive_id": "<chat_id>",
      "msg_type": "file",
      "content": "{\"file_key\":\"<file_key>\"}"
    }
    
  • Other platforms: Send via message tool with filePath.

Follow up naturally: "Here's your file! You can also edit online at [Task URL]."

Fallback (no background monitoring)

Tell the user: "I've started generating your content. It usually takes about 10–15 minutes. You can check the progress here: [Task URL]. Let me know when you'd like me to check if it's ready!"

Phase 5: Multi-turn Conversation (Modify Completed Content)

After a task has completed (Phase 4 finished), the user may request modifications such as:

  • "Change the title on page 3 to 'Product Overview'"
  • "Add a summary slide at the end"
  • "Make the color scheme warmer"
  • "Replace the chart on page 5 with a pie chart"

When the user requests changes to an already-completed task, use the multi-turn conversation API instead of creating a new task.

IMPORTANT: You MUST remember the task_id from Phase 3 throughout the conversation. When the user asks for modifications, use the same task_id.

Supported operations for multi-turn: slide, doc, smart_draw, storybook (content types that produce editable files).

Step 1: Send Modification Request

python3 scripts/anygen.py send-message --task-id {task_id} --message "Change the title on page 3 to 'Product Overview'"
# Output: Message ID: 123, Status: processing

Save the returned Message ID — you'll need it to detect the AI reply.

Immediately tell the user (natural language, NO internal terms):

  • "I'm working on your changes now. I'll let you know when they're done."

Step 2: Monitor for AI Reply

Requires sessions_spawn. If unavailable, skip to Multi-turn Fallback below.

CRITICAL: When calling sessions_spawn, you MUST set a timeout of at least 10 minutes (600 seconds). Modifications are faster than initial generation.

Example spawn call syntax:

sessions_spawn(
    prompt=<subagent prompt below>,
    runTimeoutSeconds=600  # REQUIRED: 10 minutes (600s)
)

Subagent prompt (it has NO conversation context):

You are a background monitor for a content modification task.
You MUST strictly follow every instruction below. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise any step.

Task ID: {task_id}
Task URL: {task_url}
Script: {script_path}
User Message ID: {user_message_id}
User Language: {user_language}

IMPORTANT: This monitoring task may take up to 8 minutes. Ensure your execution timeout is at least 10 minutes.

CRITICAL RULES:
- You MUST reply in {user_language}.
- After completing ALL steps (including sending messages to the user), your FINAL reply
  MUST be EXACTLY "ANNOUNCE_SKIP" — nothing else. This prevents the main session from
  sending duplicate messages.
- Do NOT say anything beyond what is specified below. No greetings, no extra commentary.
- NEVER include technical terms like "task_id", "message_id", "poll", "sub-agent",
  "API", "script", "workspace", file paths, or status labels in any message to the user.

Your job:
1. Run: python3 {script_path} get-messages --task-id {task_id} --wait --since-id {user_message_id}
   This command blocks until the AI reply is completed.

2. On success (AI reply received):
   a. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}, natural tone):
      "Your changes are done! You can view the updated content here: {task_url}
       If you need further adjustments, just let me know."
   b. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP

3. On failure / timeout:
   a. Send a text message to the user (in {user_language}):
      "The modification didn't complete as expected. You can check the details here: {task_url}"
   b. Reply EXACTLY: ANNOUNCE_SKIP

Do NOT wait for the background monitor. Do NOT tell the user you launched it.

Multi-turn Fallback (no background monitoring)

Tell the user: "I've sent your changes. You can check the progress here: [Task URL]. Let me know when you'd like me to check if it's done!"

When the user asks you to check, use:

python3 scripts/anygen.py get-messages --task-id {task_id} --limit 5

Look for a completed assistant message and relay the content to the user naturally.

Subsequent Modifications

The user can request multiple rounds of modifications. Each time, repeat Phase 5:

  1. send-message with the new modification request
  2. Background-monitor with get-messages --wait
  3. Notify the user with the online link when done

All modifications use the same task_id — do NOT create a new task.


Error Handling

Error Message Description Solution
invalid API key Invalid API Key Check if API Key is correct
operation not allowed No permission for this operation Contact admin for permissions
prompt is required Missing prompt Add --prompt parameter
task not found Task does not exist Check if task_id is correct
Generation timeout Generation timed out Recreate the task
