Prerequisites
- Python3 and
requests:pip3 install requests - AnyGen API Key (
sk-xxx) — Get one → Setting → Integration - Configure once:
python3 scripts/anygen.py config set api_key "sk-xxx"
All
scripts/paths below are relative to this skill's installation directory.
Invocation Flow
Step 1: Collect Required Information
Required:
- API Key —
sk-xxxformat (skip if already configured) - Prompt — What the slides should cover
Slide-specific options (ask the user):
- Style — business / minimalist / tech / academic / creative / data-driven / nature / dark
- Page count — Brief 5-8 / Standard 10-15 / Detailed 15-25 (default: AI decides)
- Aspect ratio — 16:9 (projection) or 4:3 (printing)
Optional:
- Reference files (PDF, PNG, JPG, DOCX, PPTX, TXT) via
--file - Language:
zh-CN(default) oren-US
Step 2: Create task
python3 scripts/anygen.py create \
--operation slide \
--prompt "A presentation about the history of artificial intelligence" \
--style "business" \
--slide-count 12 \
--ratio "16:9"
# → Task ID: task_abc123xyz
| Parameter | Short | Description |
|---|---|---|
| --operation | -o | Must be slide |
| --prompt | -p | Content description |
| --api-key | -k | API Key (omit if configured) |
| --style | -s | Style preference |
| --slide-count | -c | Number of pages |
| --ratio | -r | 16:9 / 4:3 |
| --template | -t | PPT template |
| --language | -l | zh-CN / en-US |
| --file | Attachment file path (repeatable) |
Step 3: Check progress
status is a non-blocking single query — call it, get the result, return immediately.
python3 scripts/anygen.py status \
--task-id task_abc123xyz
# → [STATUS] task_id=task_abc123xyz status=processing progress=60
Progress reporting rules — you MUST follow:
- Call
statusevery 10 seconds to poll internally - Only notify the user at milestone progress points: 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, and completion. Do NOT report every small change — this is a long-running task (up to 15 min)
- Example user-facing messages at milestones:
- 25% → "AnyGen is generating slide outline..."
- 50% → "Content generated, now designing layout..."
- 75% → "Styling and polishing slides..."
- 90% → "Almost done, finalizing..."
- Progress may stay at the same percentage for several minutes. This is normal — AnyGen performs deep generation (content research, layout design, style rendering) at certain stages. Do NOT assume the task is stuck. Only treat
status=failedas an error.
Step 4: Download file
python3 scripts/anygen.py download \
--task-id task_abc123xyz --output ./output/
Step 5: Return results to user
Tell the user:
- Local file path — from
[RESULT] Local file:line - Task URL — from
[RESULT] Task URL:line, for online viewing/editing
Do NOT return file_url to the user. The script auto-downloads the file.
Advanced: IM File Delivery (MEDIA: Protocol)
When running in an IM context (e.g., Feishu/Lark bot with OpenClaw), add --media to download:
python3 scripts/anygen.py download \
--task-id task_abc123xyz --media
Send the output MEDIA:/absolute/path/to/file as a separate short message so the framework delivers the file.
Error Handling
| Error | Solution |
|---|---|
| invalid API key | Check if API Key is correct |
| operation not allowed | Contact admin for permissions |
| prompt is required | Add --prompt parameter |
| task not found | Check if task_id is correct |
| Generation timeout | Recreate the task |
Notes
- Maximum execution time per task is 15 minutes (customizable via
--max-time) - Download link is valid for 24 hours
