Setup

1. Get API key

Visit felo.ai
Open Settings -> API Keys
Create and copy your API key

2. Configure environment variable

Linux/macOS:

export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Windows PowerShell:

$env:FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

How to Execute

Use Bash tool commands and follow this workflow exactly.

Step 1: Precheck API key

if [ -z "$FELO_API_KEY" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: FELO_API_KEY not set"
  exit 1
fi

If key is missing, stop and return setup instructions.

Step 2: Run Node Script (create + poll)

Use the bundled script (no jq dependency):

node felo-slides/scripts/run_ppt_task.mjs \
  --query "USER_PROMPT_HERE" \
  --interval 10 \
  --max-wait 1800 \
  --timeout 60

To apply a specific theme, first list available themes with felo ppt-themes, then pass the theme ID:

node felo-slides/scripts/run_ppt_task.mjs \
  --query "USER_PROMPT_HERE" \
  --theme "THEME_ID_HERE" \
  --interval 10 \
  --max-wait 1800 \
  --timeout 60

Script behavior:

Creates task via POST https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/ppts
Supports optional --theme <id> to apply a PPT theme (sends ppt_config.ai_theme_id)
Supports optional --task-id <id> to resume polling an existing task (skips creation)
Polls via GET https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/tasks/{task_id}/historical
Treats COMPLETED/SUCCESS as success terminal (case-insensitive)
Treats FAILED/ERROR as failure terminal
Stops polling immediately on terminal status
Prints ppt_url on success (fallback: live_doc_url)

Optional debug output:

node felo-slides/scripts/run_ppt_task.mjs \
  --query "USER_PROMPT_HERE" \
  --interval 10 \
  --max-wait 1800 \
  --json \
  --verbose

This outputs structured JSON including:

task_id
task_status
ppt_url
live_doc_url
livedoc_short_id
ppt_business_id
error_message

Step 4: Return structured result

On success, return:

ppt_url immediately (script default output, fallback live_doc_url)
if --json is used, also include task_id, terminal status, and optional metadata

Output Format

Use this response structure:

## PPT Generation Result

- Task ID: <task_id>
- Status: <status>
- PPT URL: <ppt_url>
- Live Doc URL: <live_doc_url or N/A>

## Notes

- livedoc_short_id: <value or N/A>
- ppt_business_id: <value or N/A>

Error format:

## PPT Generation Failed

- Error Type: <error code or category>
- Message: <readable message>
- Suggested Action: <next step>

Error Handling

Known API error codes:

INVALID_API_KEY (401): key invalid or revoked
PPT_TASK_CREATE_FAILED (502): create task downstream failed
PPT_TASK_QUERY_FAILED (502): query task downstream failed

Timeout handling:

If timeout reached, return last known status and instruct user to retry later
Include task_id so user can query again
IMPORTANT: To resume a timed-out task, use --task-id instead of --query to avoid creating a duplicate PPT:

node felo-slides/scripts/run_ppt_task.mjs \
  --task-id "TASK_ID_HERE" \
  --interval 10 \
  --max-wait 1800

Important Notes

Always execute this skill when user intent is slide generation.
Always return task_id so follow-up queries can continue from the same task.
Do not claim completion without a terminal status.
Keep API calls minimal: create once, then poll.
