Core Concepts

• Message: A single message in a chat, identified by message_id (omxxx). Supports types: text, post, image, file, audio, video, sticker, interactive (card), sharechat, shareuser, mergeforward, 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 (omxxx or omtxxx).
• 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 openchatid for CHAT type).
• Feed Group: A tag that groups feed cards in the feed list, identified by feed_group_id (ofgxxx). Members are feed cards, each identified by `feedid + feed_type. Two types: normal (members managed explicitly) and rule` (members auto-derived from rules).

Important Notes

AppLink and Share Links

Prefer CLI-returned links: use chat_app_link to open joined conversations, message_app_link to open messages, and share_link to invite others to groups. If manually building a joined-conversation AppLink, use https://<applink_host>/client/chat/open?openChatId=<oc_xxx>, never chatId=<oc_xxx> or lark://...chat_id=<oc_xxx>.

Identity and Token Mapping

• --as user means user identity and uses user_access_token. Calls run as the authorized end user, so permissions depend on both the app scopes and that user's own access to the target chat/message/resource.
• --as bot means bot identity and uses tenant_access_token. Calls run as the app bot, so behavior depends on the bot's membership, app visibility, availability range, and bot-specific scopes.
• If an IM API says it supports both user and bot, the token type changes who the operator is. The same API can succeed with one identity and fail with the other because owner/admin status, chat membership, tenant boundary, or app availability are checked against the current caller.

Sender Name Resolution

When fetching messages (+chat-messages-list, +threads-messages-list, +messages-mget, +messages-search), the CLI shows a display name for both user and bot senders:

• 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`.

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` for one attachment. See `references/lark-im-message-enrichment.md` for the output contract.

Card Messages (Interactive)

Before sending, replying with, or updating any `interactive` card (`+messages-send` / `+messages-reply` / `messages.patch`), 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 (send/reply) or messages.patch --data (update) must be the output of that workflow — never hand-write or copy a card payload.

Card messages (interactive type) are not yet supported for compact conversion in event subscriptions. The raw event data will be returned instead, with a hint printed to stderr.

interactive cards support callback events (card.action.trigger) — see `references/lark-im-card-action-reply.md`.

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。

API Resources

lark-cli schema im.<resource>.<method>   # 调用 API 前必须先查看参数结构
lark-cli im <resource> <method> [flags] # 调用 API

重要：使用原生 API 时，必须先运行 schema 查看 --data / --params 参数结构，不要猜测字段格式。
