⚠️ Important: About Code Obfuscation

This skill's scripts/ All JavaScript files in the directory have been obfuscated.

AI Behavior Guidelines

✅ May execute: directly call and execute these scripts, use --parameter-file-path to pass parameters

❌ Do not read: do not read or analyze scripts/ in the directory .js file contents, reasons:

Obfuscated code has extremely poor readability and no practical meaning
Avoid wasting tokens and time
All function descriptions are fully described in this document and the references/ directory

When encountering problems

refer to the documentation in the references/ directory
check the error messages and error codes output by the scripts
do not attempt to read obfuscated code

How to Use This Skill

Feature Overview

This Skill provides complete Feishu Bitable API operation capabilities:

Feature Modules	Supported Operations
Data Table Management	Create, update, and delete data tables (batch operations supported)
Record Operations	Create, delete, update, and query records, with batch operations supported (up to 1000 per request)
Field Management	Create, update, and delete fields, and list all fields
Media Upload	Upload files, images, and other media, and get temporary download links

Output Format

After execution completes, the Skill outputs:

Success: Returns the operation result data (in JSON format), including the complete API response
Failure: Returns error information, including the error code and suggested solutions

Prerequisites

A valid tenant_access_token: Required for all API operations
app_token: Identifies the Bitable to operate on
table_id: Identifies the data table to operate on (required for some operations)

Parameter Passing Method

Note: All scripts in this Skill use the --parameter-file-path parameter to pass configuration, and must be invoked via a parameter file.

AI Invocation Specification: This Skill is designed specifically for AI. The AI automatically handles the creation and cleanup of temporary files; human users only need to describe their requirements in natural language.

AI Automatic Temporary File Handling Process

When the AI invokes this Skill, it must follow the process below to automatically manage temporary files:

import { createTempParamsFile, cleanupTempFile } from "./scripts/utils";
import { execSync } from "child_process";

// 1. 创建临时参数文件（自动存放在系统临时目录）
const tempFile = createTempParamsFile(
  {
    tenant_access_token: "xxx",
    app_token: "xxx",
    table_id: "xxx"
    // ... 其他参数
  },
  "operation-name"
);

try {
  // 2. 执行脚本
  const result = execSync(`node scripts/xxx.js --parameter-file-path "${tempFile}"`, { encoding: "utf-8" });
  const data = JSON.parse(result);

  // 3. 处理结果并返回给用户
  return formatResultForUser(data);
} finally {
  // 4. 确保清理临时文件（无论成功或失败）
  cleanupTempFile(tempFile);
}

Key Principles：

✅ Temporary files must be created in the system temporary directory (os.tmpdir()）
✅ Clean up temporary files immediately after script execution completes
✅ Use try...finally to ensure cleanup occurs even if an error occurs
❌ Do not create parameter files in the skill directory or the user's working directory

Standard Usage Process

Step 1: Obtain Access Credentials

node scripts/get-tenant-access-token.js --parameter-file-path params.json

Parameter file example (params.json):

{
  "appId": "cli_xxx",
  "appSecret": "xxx"
}

For detailed credential management rules, see Authentication and Credential Management Guide。

Step 2: Parse the Bitable URL

Extract from the URL the app_token and table_id：

node scripts/parse-bitable-url.js --parameter-file-path params.json

Step 3: Execute the Specific Operation

Choose the corresponding script according to your needs:

# 查询记录
node scripts/record/get.js --parameter-file-path "params.json"

# 创建记录
node scripts/record/create.js --parameter-file-path "params.json"

# 批量创建记录
node scripts/record/batch-create.js --parameter-file-path "params.json"

Instructions for Using Files and Directories

Item	Description
Documentation Location	`references/` Documents in the directory, with specific API call commands or script execution methods
Script location	`scripts/` Node.js scripts in the directory can be used directly
Temporary files	System temporary directory (`%TEMP%` or `/tmp`), automatically deleted after the operation is complete
Parameter files	System temporary directory, referenced using absolute paths
Upload records	System temporary directory (`feishu-bitable-upload-records.json`)

Best Practices for Temporary File Management

All temporary files of this skill (parameter files, upload records) are stored in the system temporary directory to avoid polluting the user's home directory and the skill directory:

Windows example：

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\feishu-create-record-1740374400000-a7x9k2.json
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\feishu-bitable-upload-records.json

Linux/Mac example：

/tmp/feishu-create-record-1740374400000-a7x9k2.json
/tmp/feishu-bitable-upload-records.json

Utility function usage example

import { createTempParamsFile, cleanupTempFile, cleanupAllTempFiles } from './utils';

// 1. 创建临时参数文件（自动存放在系统临时目录）
const params = {
  tenant_access_token: 'xxx',
  app_token: 'xxx',
  table_id: 'xxx',
  fields: { ... }
};
const tempFilePath = createTempParamsFile(params, 'create-record');

// 2. 执行脚本
const result = await executeScript(tempFilePath);

// 3. 立即清理临时文件
cleanupTempFile(tempFilePath);

// 4. 清理所有过期的临时文件（24小时前的）
cleanupAllTempFiles();

Temporary file naming convention：

Format:feishu-{operation}-{timestamp}-{random}.json
Example:feishu-batch-create-1740374400000-a7x9k2.json

Cleanup strategy：

Immediately attempt to delete the parameter file whether it succeeds or fails
Deletion failure does not affect the main process
The system temporary directory is automatically cleaned up periodically
Run cleanupAllTempFiles() to batch-clean expired files (older than 24 hours)

AI processing example

The user says: "Help me add a record in the Feishu spreadsheet https://xxx.feishu.cn/wiki/xxx , the task name is 'Complete Report', progress 50%"

AI execution steps：

Step	Execution action	Script/Command
1	Check tenant_access_token	If not present, run `get-tenant-access-token.js`
2	Parse the URL to obtain app_token and table_id	Run `parse-bitable-url.js`
3	Create a temporary parameter file	Run `createTempParamsFile()`, stored in the system temporary directory
4	Create a record	Run `record/create.js`
5	Clean up the temporary parameter file	Run `cleanupTempFile()`
6	Return the result	Return to the user: "Record created successfully! Record ID: recxxx"

User perception: There is no need to know about the existence of temporary files at all; only natural language interaction is needed.

Error handling

Error scenario	Error manifestation	Handling method
Missing access credential	API returns a 401/403 error	Run `get-tenant-access-token.js` to obtain the credential
Access credential expired	API returns error code: 99991663, error message: Invalid access token for authorization	Run `get-tenant-access-token.js` to obtain the credential
URL parsing failed	Unable to extract app_token/table_id	Check whether the URL format is correct, or provide the parameters manually
Record does not exist	API returns a 404 error	Check whether record_id is correct, or first run `record/get.js` to query
Field type mismatch	API returns a 400 error	Run `field/list.js` to view the field types, adjust the parameters, and retry
Text field format error	`TextFieldConvFail` Error	Text fields use string format, do not use rich text array format
Field update missing parameter	`field validation failed`	When updating a field, you must provide the `type` parameter
File token format error	`Cannot read properties`	Use `file_tokens`(array) instead of `file_token`(string)
Batch operation exceeds limit	API returns 422 error	Reduce the number of operations per request (up to 1000 records, up to 100 for batch retrieval)
Temporary file creation failed	Insufficient disk space or permission issue	Check the system temporary directory permissions and disk space
Network timeout	No response to request	Check the network connection and try again later

Detailed Explanation of Common Errors

1. Text field format error (TextFieldConvFail)

Error message：the value of 'Multiline' must be a string

Cause: When creating/updating a record, the text field used the rich text array format returned by queries

Solution：

❌ Incorrect:"字段名": [{"text": "内容", "type": "text"}]
✅ Correct:"字段名": "内容"

2. Field update missing type parameter

Error message：field validation failed - type is required

Cause: When updating a field, type parameter was not provided

Solution: When updating a field, you must include type, such as "type": 1(1=text, 2=number)

3. Error in parameters for getting file download link

Error message：Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')

Cause: Used file_token instead of file_tokens
