Octo Summary

Octo Summary

This skill can read summaries and create an owner-only asynchronous summary. It does not edit, regenerate, publish, or delete summaries.

Authentication and scope

Authenticate with the owner's bf_* personal Agent token through a stored profile or OCTO_BOT_TOKEN. Do not pass or rely on --space: the Summary service resolves both the human owner and Space from the bot token and applies the owner's existing Summary permissions.

Create a summary

Creation is a write operation. Confirm the requested channels and time range with the user before calling it. Only explicit sources are accepted; the service does not let the model search all owner channels implicitly.

Pass time_range and sources through --data, and always provide a stable idempotency key:

bashCopy code
octo-cli summary create \
  --idempotency-key project-weekly-2026w31 \
  --data '{"title":"本周项目进展","topic":"整理决策、进展和风险","time_range":{"start":"2026-07-21T00:00:00+08:00","end":"2026-07-28T00:00:00+08:00"},"sources":[{"source_type":1,"source_id":"group-id"}]}'

Reuse the same key only when retrying the exact same request body after an uncertain outcome. If any body field changes, generate a new key; reusing the old key with a changed body returns 409/40009. Never generate a fresh key merely because an otherwise unchanged first request timed out.

Source types are 1=group, 2=thread, and 3=DM. include_archived defaults to false. An optional origin channel must also be present in sources. Owner, bot identity, Space, source names, and participants are server-controlled; do not send uid, participants, source_name, or confirm_timeout_hours.

The result contains task_id with an initial pending status. Poll with summary get <task-id> until status is completed (3), failed (4), or cancelled (5), then use summary result <task-id>. Poll at most 60 times with a 5-second interval; if it is still pending after 5 minutes, report the task id and current status instead of continuing.

Treat 40301/40302 as a source authorization or Space mismatch. Treat 50301 as the create feature being disabled. Treat 409/40009 as key reuse with a changed body: preserve the existing task id for audit and use a new key only if the user still wants the modified request. Do not retry authorization or feature-disabled errors with altered identity or broader sources.

Discover summaries

bashCopy code
octo-cli summary list
octo-cli summary list --keyword "launch review" --page 1 --page-size 20
octo-cli summary list --status 3 --created-after 2026-07-01T00:00:00Z

--keyword matches the summary title or topic. Results are page-based {total, items}; increment --page manually because --page-all is not available.

Choose a candidate using its title, topic, sources, participants, time range, and task_id. Do not assume a title match alone proves relevance.

Read and cite

bashCopy code
octo-cli summary get <task-id>
octo-cli summary result <task-id>

Use get for metadata plus the current visible result. Use result when the full current body and citations are needed.

When answering from a summary:

1. Identify the summary by title and task_id.
2. Attribute claims to the returned citation entry using its index, sender, sent time, source, and message sequence.
3. Preserve the summary's citation marker such as [1] or [P1] when useful.
4. Never invent missing surrounding conversation. Bot responses intentionally omit context_before and context_after.

Treat 401 as an invalid/ineligible bot identity. Treat 403 or 404 as unavailable or not visible; do not infer the contents of a hidden summary.

Inspect exact flags and schemas when needed:

bashCopy code
octo-cli schema summary.list
octo-cli schema summary.get
octo-cli schema summary.result
