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…".

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).
bash
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:
bash
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.
Operation-specific notes:
  • For
    smart_draw
    : describe the diagram type, components, and relationships. Do NOT paste raw file contents — files are processed server-side.
  • For
    chat
    /
    data_analysis
    /
    website
    /
    storybook
    : include extracted file content in
    --message
    since the API does NOT read files.

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

bash
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

--fileAttachment file path (repeatable)No
--file-tokenFile token from upload (repeatable)No
--style-sStyle preferenceNo

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 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 chat / storybook / 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:
bash
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
    json
    {
      "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!"
