# im (v1)

## Core Concepts

- **Message**: A single message in a chat, identified by `message_id` (om_xxx). Supports types: text, post, image, file, audio, video, sticker, interactive (card), share_chat, share_user, merge_forward, etc.
- **Chat**: A group chat or P2P conversation, identified by `chat_id` (oc_xxx).
- **Thread**: A reply thread under a message, identified by `thread_id` (om_xxx or omt_xxx).
- **Reaction**: An emoji reaction on a message.
- **Flag**: A bookmark on a message or thread.
- **Feed Shortcut**: A chat pinned to the current user's feed sidebar, identified by `feed_card_id` (an `oc_xxx` open_chat_id for CHAT type).
- **Feed Group**: A tag that groups feed cards in the feed list, identified by `feed_group_id` (ofg_xxx). Members are feed cards, each identified by `feed_id` + `feed_type`. Two types: `normal` (members managed explicitly) and `rule` (members auto-derived from rules).

## Resource Relationships

## Important Notes

### Sender Name Resolution

When fetching messages (`+chat-messages-list`, `+threads-messages-list`, `+messages-mget`, `+messages-search`), the CLI shows a display name for each message sender:

- **Server-provided name**: the read APIs return `sender_name` (plus the full-i18n `sender_i18n_names` map) on each message `sender`; the CLI surfaces it as the sender's `name` for users and bots alike. No name lookup and no extra permission are needed — **no contact scope** and no `application:bot.basic_info:read`.
- **Fallback to id**: when the server does not provide a name, the sender is shown by its id and the command still exits 0. There is no contact-directory fallback.

The raw `sender_name` is not duplicated in output (its value is in `name`); the full `sender_i18n_names` map (all locales) is preserved for consumers that need a specific language, alongside an optional `open_bot_id` (`ou_`) for bot senders aligned with the message-receive event channel. System messages (`msg_type: system`) have no sender name — that is normal, not an error.

### Default message enrichment (reactions / update_time)

The four message-pulling shortcuts (`+messages-mget`, `+chat-messages-list`, `+messages-search`, `+threads-messages-list`) automatically attach a `reactions` block and (for edited messages) `update_time` to each returned message — no separate `im.reactions.batch_query` call is needed. Pass `--no-reactions` to opt out. For the full contract (output shape, the `im:message.reactions:read` scope requirement, and the "missing field ≠ fetch failure" data rules), read [`references/lark-im-message-enrichment.md`](references/lark-im-message-enrichment.md).

### Opt-in resource auto-download (`--download-resources`)

`+chat-messages-list`, `+messages-mget`, and `+threads-messages-list` accept `--download-resources` to save eligible attachments into `./lark-im-resources/` and add a `resources` array to each message. It is off by default; stickers are not downloadable. A failed attachment is reported on that resource without aborting the message pull. Use [`+messages-resources-download`](references/lark-im-messages-resources-download.md) for one attachment. See [`references/lark-im-message-enrichment.md`](references/lark-im-message-enrichment.md) for the output contract.

### Card Messages (Interactive)

**Before sending or replying with any `interactive` card (`+messages-send` / `+messages-reply`), you MUST read [`references/card/lark-im-card-create.md`](references/card/lark-im-card-create.md) and follow its workflow.** The card JSON passed to `--msg-type interactive --content` must be the output of that workflow — never hand-write or copy a card payload.

### Audio Messages

`--audio` sends a voice message and supports only Opus audio files, for example `.opus` files or Ogg Opus (`.ogg`) files. For `mp3`, `wav`, or other non-Opus audio, either convert to `.opus` first and keep using `--audio`, or send the original file as an attachment with `--file`.

### Sending Doc Content as a Message

When sending content fetched from a Lark doc as a message, fetch the doc with --doc-format im-markdown, then send it as a message using the --markdown format. The fetched content is already in markdown; in any content-forwarding scenario, keep the fetched original text and send it in the --markdown format. Note: if the doc contains a cite tag with type="user", keep it as-is and do not strip the tag.

### Flag Types

Flags support two layers:

- **Message-layer flag**: `(ItemTypeDefault, FlagTypeMessage)` — regular message bookmark
- **Feed-layer flag**: `(ItemTypeThread/ItemTypeMsgThread, FlagTypeFeed)` — thread as feed-layer bookmark

Item types for feed-layer flags:
- **ItemTypeThread** (4) = thread in a topic-style chat
- **ItemTypeMsgThread** (11) = thread in a regular chat

### Feed Shortcut

Feed shortcuts add chats to the current user's feed sidebar. They are distinct from flags:

- **Flag** = bookmark on a message/thread, scoped to the user's bookmark list.
- **Feed shortcut** = entry in the user's feed sidebar (currently only chats).

Key limits:
- Only **CHAT-type** (`feed_card_id` is `oc_xxx`) is exposed via OpenAPI; doc/app/subscription shortcuts exist internally but are not yet whitelisted.
- All three operations (create/remove/list) are **user-identity only** — they sign with `user_access_token`.
- Batch size is **10 per call** for create/remove; list is a one-page wrapper with opaque `page_token` pagination.

## Shortcuts（推荐优先使用）

Shortcut 是对常用操作的高级封装（`lark-cli im +<verb> [flags]`）。有 Shortcut 的操作优先使用。

| Shortcut | 说明 |
|----------|------|
| [`+chat-create`](references/lark-im-chat-create.md) | Create a group chat or topic chat; user; --chat-mode group|topic; private/public; invites users/bots; optionally sets bot manager |
| [`+chat-list`](references/lark-im-chat-list.md) | List chats the current user is a member of; defaults to groups; pass --types=p2p,group to include p2p single chats; user; supports sorting, auto-pagination, --exclude-muted |
| [`+chat-members-list`](references/lark-im-chat-members-list.md) | List members of a chat; returns separate users[] / bots[] buckets; callable as user; --member-types filters which kinds to return; --page-all pagination; surfaces truncations[] when the server caps a bucket |
| [`+chat-messages-list`](references/lark-im-chat-messages-list.md) | List messages in a chat or P2P conversation; user; accepts --chat-id or --user-id, resolves P2P chat_id, supports time range, --order asc/desc sorting, auto-pagination |
| [`+chat-search`](references/lark-im-chat-search.md) | Search visible group chats by --query keyword and/or --member-ids; user; e.g. look up chat_id by group name; supports type filters, sorting, auto-pagination, and --exclude-muted (user identity only) |
| [`+chat-update`](references/lark-im-chat-update.md) | Update group chat name or description; user; updates a chat's name or description |
| [`+messages-mget`](references/lark-im-messages-mget.md) | Batch get messages by IDs; user; fetches up to 50 om_ message IDs, formats sender names, expands thread replies |
| [`+messages-reply`](references/lark-im-messages-reply.md) | Reply to a message (supports thread replies); user; supports text/markdown/post/media replies, reply-in-thread, idempotency key |
| [`+messages-resources-download`](references/lark-im-messages-resources-download.md) | Download an image or file attached to a message; user |
| [`+messages-search`](references/lark-im-messages-search.md) | Search messages across chats (supports keyword, sender, time range filters) with user identity; filters by chat/sender/attachment/time, supports auto-pagination via `--page-all` / `--page-limit`, enriches results via batched mget and chats batch_query |
| [`+messages-send`](references/lark-im-messages-send.md) | Send a message to a chat or direct message; user; sends to chat-id or user-id with text/markdown/post/media, supports idempotency key |
| [`+threads-messages-list`](references/lark-im-threads-messages-list.md) | List messages in a thread; user; accepts om_/omt_ input, resolves message IDs to thread_id, supports --order asc/desc sorting, auto-pagination |
| [`+flag-create`](references/lark-im-flag-create.md) | Create a bookmark on a message; user-only; defaults to message-layer flag; use --flag-type feed for feed-layer flag (item_type auto-detected from chat mode) |
| [`+flag-cancel`](references/lark-im-flag-cancel.md) | Cancel (remove) a bookmark. When no --flag-type is given, best-effort double-cancel: removes message layer and (when chat_type is determinable) feed layer |
| [`+flag-list`](references/lark-im-flag-list.md) | List bookmarks; user-only; auto-enriches feed-type thread entries with message content; `--page-all` is capped by `--page-limit` (default 20, max 1000), and `has_more=true` means the result is incomplete |
| [`+feed-shortcut-create`](references/lark-im-feed-shortcut-create.md) | Add chats to the user's feed shortcuts; user-only; oc_xxx chat IDs only; batch up to 10 per call; `--head`/`--tail` controls insertion order; partial failures return an `ok:false` ledger |
| [`+feed-shortcut-remove`](references/lark-im-feed-shortcut-remove.md) | Remove chats from the user's feed shortcuts; user-only; batch up to 10 per call; removing an absent shortcut is idempotent success; real per-item failures return an `ok:false` ledger |
| [`+feed-shortcut-list`](references/lark-im-feed-shortcut-list.md) | List one page of the user's feed shortcuts; user-only; omit `--page-token` for the first page; default output enriches CHAT entries under `detail`; pass `--no-detail` to skip the extra lookup and `im:chat:read` scope |
| [`+feed-group-list`](references/lark-im-feed-group-list.md) | List the caller's feed groups (tags); user-only; supports `--page-all` auto-pagination |
| [`+feed-group-list-item`](references/lark-im-feed-group-list-item.md) | List feed cards in a feed group (tag); user-only; enriches each item with chat_name resolved from feed_id; supports --page-all auto-pagination |
| [`+feed-group-query-item`](references/lark-im-feed-group-query-item.md) | Look up specific feed cards in a feed group (tag) by ID; user-only; enriches each item with chat_name resolved from feed_id |
