felo-slides

name	felo-slides
description	Generate PPT/slides from prompts, local images, PDFs, and other files with the Felo PPT Task API. Use when users ask to create, make, generate, or export presentations or slide decks; turn an attached/local file into slides; include an original image in a PPT; or explicitly invoke /felo-slides. Handles file upload, API key checks, task creation, polling, and final ppt_url output.

Felo Slides Skill

When to Use

Trigger this skill for requests about creating presentation files:

• Create/generate slides from a topic or outline
• Turn notes into a PPT deck
• Build slides from a local image, PDF, or document
• Put an uploaded original image into the generated PPT
• Build a presentation with a page count requirement
• Export presentation content into a shareable slide link

Trigger keywords:

• Chinese prompts about making slides or presentations
• English: slides, PPT, presentation deck, generate presentation
• Explicit commands: /felo-slides, "use felo slides"

Do NOT use this skill for:

• Real-time information lookup (use felo-search)
• Questions about local codebase files
• Pure text tasks that do not require slide generation

Setup

1. Get API key

1. Visit felo.ai
2. Open Settings -> API Keys
3. 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

When the user provides a local image or file, pass its absolute path with --file. Include the desired use of the original asset in the prompt. For example:

node felo-slides/scripts/run_ppt_task.mjs \
  --query "Create exactly 2 slides and place the uploaded original image directly in the PPT" \
  --file "/absolute/path/to/source.jpg" \
  --interval 10 \
  --max-wait 1800 \
  --timeout 60

Do not replace --file with a textual description when the user explicitly wants the original file or image used in the PPT.

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 --file <path> to upload one local file with multipart/form-data
• Supports optional --theme <id> to apply a PPT theme (sends ppt_config.ai_theme_id)
• Supports optional --livedoc-id <id> to reuse an existing LiveDoc instead of auto-creating a new one
• 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 3: Confirm terminal status

The script polls the historical endpoint automatically. Wait for it to exit before responding:

• Success: terminal status is COMPLETED or SUCCESS, and the script prints ppt_url (fallback: live_doc_url)
• Failure: terminal status is FAILED or ERROR; return the error format below
• Timeout: include the task_id and tell the user to resume with --task-id instead of creating a duplicate PPT task

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.
