Setup

1. Get your API key: https://yxgb3sicy7.feishu.cn/wiki/IlkawdQP9ifKv9k22xcc7rjmnkb
2. Set environment variable: export LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY=your-key-here

> Data privacy: All task prompts are sent to https://agent-api.linkfox.com/ along with your API key. Do not include secrets, credentials, or sensitive personal data in task prompts.

MANDATORY: Use sessions_spawn for All Tasks

NEVER call linkfox.py directly from the main session. LinkFoxAgent tasks take 1-5 minutes. You MUST use sessions_spawn to dispatch every task to a sub-agent. This keeps the main session responsive and delivers results automatically when done.

How to Dispatch a Task

Before calling sessions_spawn, tell the user in the main session:
> 「正在向 LinkFox Agent 提交任务，请稍候（通常需要 1-5 分钟）...」

Then dispatch the sub-agent:

sessions_spawn:
  task: |
    Run the following LinkFoxAgent task and report the results back.

    Command (use heredoc to avoid shell injection):
    python3 <skill>/scripts/linkfox.py --wait --timeout 600 --stdin <<'__LINKFOX_TASK_END__'
    <TASK_PROMPT>
    __LINKFOX_TASK_END__

    The script prints to stderr: "Task submitted. messageId: <id>" if submission succeeds,
    or an error message and exits with code 1 if submission fails.

    After running the command, follow these rules strictly:

    ## If the command exits with a non-zero code OR stderr contains "Error" before any messageId:
    - The task submission FAILED. Report back:
      「任务发起失败。请检查 LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY 是否已正确配置：
        1. 确认环境变量已设置：export LINKFOXAGENT_API_KEY=your-key-here
        2. 获取 API Key：https://yxgb3sicy7.feishu.cn/wiki/IlkawdQP9ifKv9k22xcc7rjmnkb
        3. 重启 OpenClaw 网关使环境变量生效
      错误详情：<stderr 内容>」

    ## If stderr contains "Task submitted. messageId: <id>":
    - Submission SUCCEEDED. Do NOT send any intermediate message — the main agent has already told the user the task is dispatched. Wait silently for the command to finish (stdout).

    ## After the command completes (stdout):
    1. Parse stdout — it contains a status line, an optional ShareURL, a reflection summary, and result entries.
    2. If status is "error" or "cancel", report the error clearly.
    3. If status is "finished", summarize the reflection and list all results.
    4. HTML report URLs in results are available for your reference. Decide autonomously whether to share them with the user based on context — do not forward them blindly.
    5. **ShareURL:** If the output contains a line `ShareURL: <url>`, forward it to the user. This is the conversation share link for this LinkFoxAgent run — the user can open it to review the execution process and download related files.
    6. **CSV output (JSON results with columns):** When a result line says `CSV saved to: <path>`, the script has already converted the JSON data to a CSV file with Chinese column headers at that local path. Report the path to the user. Do NOT attempt to read or display the CSV contents unless the user explicitly asks. If the user wants to receive the file, send it using the file-sending skill.
  label: "LinkFox: <short description>"
  mode: "run"
  runTimeoutSeconds: 600
  cleanup: "keep"

Dispatching Multiple Independent Tasks

When the user's request involves multiple independent lookups (e.g., "search both Amazon US and Amazon JP"), spawn one sub-agent per task in parallel.

Before spawning, tell the user:
> 「正在同时向 LinkFox Agent 提交 N 个任务，请稍候...」

# Sub-agent 1
sessions_spawn:
  task: |
    Run (use heredoc to avoid shell injection):
    python3 <skill>/scripts/linkfox.py --wait --timeout 600 --stdin <<'__LINKFOX_TASK_END__'
    <task A>
    __LINKFOX_TASK_END__
    Apply the same submission success/failure reporting rules as the single-task template above.
  label: "LinkFox: task A"
  mode: "run"
  runTimeoutSeconds: 600

# Sub-agent 2
sessions_spawn:
  task: |
    Run (use heredoc to avoid shell injection):
    python3 <skill>/scripts/linkfox.py --wait --timeout 600 --stdin <<'__LINKFOX_TASK_END__'
    <task B>
    __LINKFOX_TASK_END__
    Apply the same submission success/failure reporting rules as the single-task template above.
  label: "LinkFox: task B"
  mode: "run"
  runTimeoutSeconds: 600

Multi-Step Tasks That Require Post-Processing

When the user's request requires multiple sequential LinkFoxAgent calls (e.g., fetch data from two platforms then merge), follow this pattern:

1. Run each LinkFoxAgent call as a separate sessions_spawn, one after another (or in parallel if independent). Collect the CSV paths returned by each.
2. After all data tasks finish, spawn one final sessions_spawn to process or merge the CSVs using Python. Pass the absolute CSV paths as arguments.

# Final merge/processing step — spawned after all data tasks complete
sessions_spawn:
  task: |
    Run the following Python script to process/merge the CSV files and report results.

    python3 - <<'PYEOF'
    import csv, sys, os

    # Paths passed in from the data tasks above
    csv_paths = [
        "/absolute/path/to/result_1_xxx.csv",
        "/absolute/path/to/result_2_yyy.csv",
    ]

    # TODO: implement merge / analysis logic here
    # Example: read all rows and write a combined CSV
    all_rows = []
    headers = None
    for path in csv_paths:
        with open(path, encoding="utf-8-sig") as f:
            reader = csv.DictReader(f)
            if headers is None:
                headers = reader.fieldnames
            for row in reader:
                all_rows.append(row)

    out_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(csv_paths[0]), "merged_output.csv")
    with open(out_path, "w", newline="", encoding="utf-8-sig") as f:
        writer = csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames=headers)
        writer.writeheader()
        writer.writerows(all_rows)

    print(f"Merged CSV saved to: {out_path}")
    PYEOF

    Report the output path back to the user. If the user wants the file, send it using the file-sending skill.
  label: "LinkFox: merge/process CSVs"
  mode: "run"
  runTimeoutSeconds: 120
  cleanup: "keep"

What Happens Under the Hood

1. sessions_spawn creates an isolated sub-agent session
2. The sub-agent runs linkfox.py --wait which blocks until the task finishes
3. When done, the sub-agent's result is automatically delivered back to the main session via the announce system
4. The user sees the result in their chat without any manual polling

Script Reference

# The sub-agent uses --wait + --stdin mode (heredoc avoids shell injection)
python3 <skill>/scripts/linkfox.py --wait --stdin <<'__LINKFOX_TASK_END__'
task description here
__LINKFOX_TASK_END__

# Custom timeout (default 300s)
python3 <skill>/scripts/linkfox.py --wait --timeout 600 --stdin <<'__LINKFOX_TASK_END__'
task description here
__LINKFOX_TASK_END__

# JSON output for structured parsing
python3 <skill>/scripts/linkfox.py --wait --format json --stdin <<'__LINKFOX_TASK_END__'
task description here
__LINKFOX_TASK_END__

Writing Task Prompts

Tool Invocation Syntax

Use @工具中文名 to invoke tools. Multiple tools can be chained in a single task (max 10).

Example: @卖家精灵-选产品 筛选亚马逊美国站的 "usb charger cable"，返回前40条商品数据

Parameter Constraints

Tool parameters may have maximum, minimum, and pattern constraints. Prompts must respect these or the call will fail. Image URLs must be publicly accessible. If the user provides a local file, upload it first via linkfoxagent-fileupload skill; if unavailable, run python <skill>/scripts/upload_image.py <path> (returns public URL, valid 24h). See the reference files below for details.

Multi-step Tasks

Chain multiple tools in numbered steps. LinkFoxAgent handles data flow between steps:

1、@亚马逊前端搜索模拟 帮我在美国亚马逊站搜索 "computer desk"，返回前2页商品数据
2、@对商品标题进行分词 统计上一步商品标题中出现的功能点
3、按功能点统计月销量、月销售额、asin数

Tool Selection Priority

When the user does not specify a tool, follow these rules in order (first match wins):

URL input — match URL type first:
- If the URL is an Amazon BSR link (contains /zgbs/ or /gp/bestsellers/), extract site domain and call @亚马逊前端搜索模拟 (see references/amazon-frontend.md — "BSR链接处理规则" for details)

Querying Amazon product data — all four tools are fast; choose by use case:
1. Keepa — best overall: richest fields, strong real-time accuracy. Default choice for most queries.
2. 卖家精灵 — optimized for product discovery and competitor lookup by keyword.
3. 亚马逊前台 — best real-time fidelity (live storefront data); ~10% slower than Keepa and fewer fields, but the only option when you need exact live ranking order or real-time storefront display.
4. Sorftime — optimized for long-term trend analysis, historical snapshots, and FBA profit breakdown.

Aggregating / statistics (e.g., group by brand, price tier, sales rank):
1. @智能数据查询 — first choice for dynamic aggregation
2. @Python沙箱 — fallback when custom logic is needed; also the go-to tool for any sandbox-execution need (has built-in LLM)

Retry on Failure

If a tool call fails, the response includes error details. Retry with adjusted parameters based on the error message. Common issues:
- Parameter out of range (check min/max constraints)
- Invalid pattern format (check regex patterns)
- Too many tools in one task (max 10)
