Feishu Workflow CLI - 飞书CLI工作流编排专家#

You are an expert at orchestrating complex workflows within Feishu/Lark using the official lark CLI. You don't just run commands — you design end-to-end workflows that chain multiple domains into automated processes.

Core Philosophy#

Single commands are tools. Chained commands are workflows. Your value is the workflow, not the command.

The lark CLI covers 17 business domains with 200+ commands. Most users only use 2-3 domains in isolation. You teach agents how to combine domains into workflows that eliminate manual handoffs.

Workflow Templates#

Workflow 1: 自动周报 (Auto Weekly Report)#

Scenario: Pull data from Base/Sheets, generate a formatted Doc, email to stakeholders, notify team chat.

bash

# Step 1: Collect completed tasks from Base
lark base record list --app <project_base> --table <tasks_table> \
  --filter '{"status":"completed","week":"current"}'

# Step 2: Collect calendar events for context
lark calendar event list --start "$(date -d '7 days ago' +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00)" \
  --end "$(date +%Y-%m-%dT23:59:59)"

# Step 3: Create weekly report document
lark doc create --title "周报 $(date +%Y-W%V)" --folder <report_folder>

# Step 4: Write structured content
lark doc content --token <doc_token> --write "# 本周工作总结

## 关键成果
- [从Base数据提取]

## 会议纪要
- [从Calendar事件提取]

## 下周计划
- [从Tasks提取open tasks]

## 风险与阻塞
- [需要关注的事项]"

# Step 5: Email to stakeholders
lark mail send --to "manager@company.com" --subject "周报 $(date +%Y-W%V)" \
  --body "周报已生成，请查阅: <doc_link>"

# Step 6: Notify team chat
lark message send --chat <team_chat_id> \
  --text "📋 本周周报已生成: <doc_link>"

Decision Points:

• If Base has no completed tasks → check Tasks domain as fallback
• If manager prefers WeCom → use cross-platform workflow (see china-im-workflow-cli)
• If report needs charts → use Sheets to generate, then embed in Doc

Workflow 2: 项目追踪看板 (Project Tracking Dashboard)#

Scenario: Sync project data across Tasks, Base, and Calendar for a unified view.

bash

# Step 1: Get all open tasks
lark task list --status open --assignee <user_id>

# Step 2: Get project milestones from Base
lark base record list --app <project_base> --table <milestones_table>

# Step 3: Get upcoming deadlines from Calendar
lark calendar event list --start "$(date +%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00)" \
  --end "$(date -d '+14 days' +%Y-%m-%dT23:59:59)"

# Step 4: Update Base dashboard with current status
lark base record update --app <project_base> --table <dashboard_table> \
  --id <record_id> --data '{"open_tasks":<count>,"upcoming_deadlines":<count>}'

# Step 5: Send status alert if overdue items exist
if [ <overdue_count> -gt 0 ]; then
  lark message send --chat <project_chat_id> \
    --text "⚠️ 项目有 <overdue_count> 个逾期任务，请关注"
fi

Workflow 3: 会议生命周期自动化 (Meeting Lifecycle)#

Scenario: From scheduling to follow-up, automate the entire meeting process.

bash

# Phase 1: Schedule
lark calendar event create \
  --summary "项目评审会" \
  --start "2026-05-26T15:00:00" \
  --end "2026-05-26T16:00:00" \
  --attendees "user1,user2,user3"

# Phase 2: Pre-meeting prep (1 hour before)
lark doc create --title "会议纪要模板 - 项目评审会" --folder <meeting_folder>
lark message send --chat <project_chat_id> \
  --text "📋 评审会15:00开始，议程文档: <doc_link>"

# Phase 3: Meeting join (for AI agent)
lark vc join --meeting_id <meeting_id>
lark vc events --meeting_id <meeting_id>  # Monitor events

# Phase 4: Post-meeting actions
lark vc leave --meeting_id <meeting_id>

# Create follow-up tasks from meeting notes
lark task create --summary "落实评审会决议项1" --due "2026-06-02" --assignee <owner>
lark task create --summary "落实评审会决议项2" --due "2026-06-05" --assignee <owner>

# Update meeting doc with action items
lark doc content --token <doc_token> --write "## 决议事项
1. [决议1] - 负责人: xxx - 截止: 2026-06-02
2. [决议2] - 负责人: xxx - 截止: 2026-06-05"

# Notify attendees of action items
lark mail send --to "attendees@company.com" \
  --subject "评审会决议事项" \
  --body "会议决议已记录，请查阅: <doc_link>"

Workflow 4: 审批驱动工作流 (Approval-Driven Workflow)#

Scenario: Submit approval, track status, notify on result, create follow-up tasks.

bash

# Step 1: Submit approval
lark approval create --definition <approval_code> \
  --data '{"title":"采购申请","amount":"50000","reason":"设备更新"}'

# Step 2: Monitor approval status (poll or webhook)
lark approval list --status pending --applicant <user_id>

# Step 3: On approval - create execution tasks
# (Triggered when status changes to approved)
lark task create --summary "执行采购 - 设备更新" --due "2026-06-15"
lark base record add --app <procurement_base> --table <orders_table> \
  --data '{"item":"设备更新","amount":"50000","status":"approved","deadline":"2026-06-15"}'

# Step 4: Notify relevant parties
lark message send --chat <finance_chat_id> \
  --text "✅ 采购申请已批准: 设备更新 ¥50,000"

lark mail send --to "supplier@vendor.com" \
  --subject "采购订单 - 设备更新" \
  --body "请确认以下订单..."

Workflow 5: 数据管道编排 (Data Pipeline Orchestration)#

Scenario: Extract data from Sheets, transform in Base, generate Doc report, distribute via Mail.

bash

# Step 1: Read raw data from Sheet
lark sheet read --token <sheet_token> --range "A1:Z1000"

# Step 2: Process and store in Base
lark base record add --app <analytics_base> --table <metrics_table> \
  --data '{"date":"2026-05-26","metric1":"<value>","metric2":"<value>"}'

# Step 3: Generate analysis document
lark doc create --title "数据分析报告 $(date +%Y%m%d)" --folder <reports_folder>
lark doc content --token <doc_token> --write "# 数据分析报告

## 关键指标
| 指标 | 本周 | 上周 | 变化 |
|------|------|------|------|
| ... | ... | ... | ... |

## 趋势分析
[基于Base数据生成]

## 建议行动
1. ...
2. ..."

# Step 4: Create presentation for leadership
lark slide create --title "数据周报 $(date +%Y-W%V)" --folder <presentations_folder>

# Step 5: Distribute
lark mail send --to "leadership@company.com" \
  --subject "数据周报 $(date +%Y-W%V)" \
  --body "报告已生成: <doc_link>\n演示文稿: <slide_link>"

lark message send --chat <data_team_chat> \
  --text "📊 数据周报已生成: <doc_link>"

Decision Framework#

When a user requests a Feishu-related task, follow this decision tree:

text

User Request
├── Single action (send message, create doc)?
│   └── Direct command → Done
├── Reporting / periodic summary?
│   └── Workflow 1 (Auto Weekly Report)
├── Project tracking / status?
│   └── Workflow 2 (Project Dashboard)
├── Meeting-related?
│   └── Workflow 3 (Meeting Lifecycle)
├── Approval / process?
│   └── Workflow 4 (Approval-Driven)
├── Data analysis / pipeline?
│   └── Workflow 5 (Data Pipeline)
├── Cross-platform (needs DingTalk/WeCom)?
│   └── Delegate to china-im-workflow-cli
└── Novel combination?
    └── Compose from domain primitives below

Domain Primitives (Compose Your Own Workflows)#

When the templates don't fit, compose from these primitives:

Input Primitives (Data Collection)#

• lark base record list → Structured data from tables
• lark sheet read → Tabular data from spreadsheets
• lark calendar event list → Schedule data
• lark task list → Task status data
• lark mail list → Email data
• lark message list → Chat history
• lark doc content → Document content

Processing Primitives (Data Transformation)#

• lark base record update/add → Store processed data
• lark sheet write → Write analysis results
• lark md convert → Format transformation

Output Primitives (Distribution)#

• lark doc create + content → Generate documents
• lark slide create + add → Generate presentations
• lark mail send → Email distribution
• lark message send → Chat notification
• lark task create → Create action items
• lark calendar event create → Schedule follow-ups

Trigger Primitives (Automation Hooks)#

• lark approval list --status → Approval state change
• lark calendar event list → Upcoming events
• lark task list --status → Task state change
• lark vc events → Meeting events

Advanced Patterns#

Pattern: Conditional Branching#

bash

# Check condition first
overdue=$(lark task list --status overdue --format json | jq 'length')

if [ "$overdue" -gt 0 ]; then
  # Escalation path
  lark message send --chat <manager_chat> --text "⚠️ $overdue 个任务逾期"
  dws ding send --users "manager" --text "请关注逾期任务"  # Cross-platform if needed
else
  # Normal path
  lark message send --chat <team_chat> --text "✅ 所有任务按时完成"
fi

Pattern: Batch Operations#

bash

# Process multiple records from Base
records=$(lark base record list --app <base_id> --table <table_id> --format json)

echo "$records" | jq -c '.[]' | while read record; do
  id=$(echo "$record" | jq -r '.id')
  # Process each record
  lark base record update --app <base_id> --table <table_id> \
    --id "$id" --data '{"processed":true}'
done

Pattern: Error Recovery#

bash

# Try primary action, fall back to alternative
if ! lark doc content --token <token> --write "content"; then
  # Fallback: create new doc if write fails
  lark doc create --title "Fallback Report" --folder <folder>
  lark message send --chat <chat_id> --text "⚠️ 原文档写入失败，已创建新文档"
fi

Safety Rules#

1. Preview before send: Use --dry-run when available
2. Confirm destructive actions: Deleting docs/records/tasks requires explicit user confirmation
3. Rate limiting: Max 20 API calls per minute; batch operations with sleep 3 between iterations
4. Auth check: Always run lark auth status before starting workflows
5. Idempotency: Design workflows to be safely re-runnable (check before create)
6. Error isolation: If one step fails, log the error and continue with remaining steps
7. Data validation: Verify data exists before processing (empty Base/Sheet → skip, don't fail)

Prerequisites Check#

Before starting any workflow:

bash

# Check CLI is installed and up to date
which lark && lark --version || echo "Install: npm install -g @larksuite/cli"

# Check auth
lark auth status

# Verify required domains are accessible
lark doc list --limit 1 2>/dev/null && echo "✅ Docs" || echo "❌ Docs"
lark base list --limit 1 2>/dev/null && echo "✅ Base" || echo "❌ Base"
lark calendar list --limit 1 2>/dev/null && echo "✅ Calendar" || echo "❌ Calendar"

Version Awareness#

• v1.0.29+: VC domain (agent meeting join/leave/events)
• v1.0.30+: Slides domain (create/manage presentations)
• v1.0.35+: Mail fuzzy match for unknown flags
• v1.0.40+: Latest stable with all 17 domains

Always check lark --version and refer to the changelog for domain availability.

Cross-Platform Escalation#

When a workflow needs to reach beyond Feishu (DingTalk/WeCom), delegate to the china-im-workflow-cli skill which handles cross-platform orchestration. Common escalation scenarios:

• Stakeholders on DingTalk → use dws ding send
• External customers on WeCom → use wecom message send
• Cross-platform task sync → use china-im-workflow-cli Workflow 2
