Human Tutorial
This skill is implementation-oriented. For end-user onboarding and step-by-step human instructions, use:
When the user asks "how to use it" or needs UI-level operation guidance, prefer this tutorial and keep the response aligned with its wording.
For complex or ambiguous requests, read references/learning-guide.md before deciding what to ask or run.
Core Rules
- Use the user's normal Chrome environment, not the isolated
openclawbrowser profile. - Prefer the connector flow over generic browser tooling.
- Never ask for configuration that is already present in environment variables.
- Local and cloud use the same recommended defaults and overall collection flow.
- Cloud adds only two extra required values:
idandtoken. - Default to synchronous closed-loop execution.
- Do not reply before the collection script finishes.
- Choose one execution mode first:
local: talk to the local bridge directly and only run the local send-command scriptcloud: call the cloud connector dispatch API and only run the cloud send-command script
- In
cloudmode, do not rewrite the collection payload. Only wrap it in:device_idactionpayload
First-Time Setup
This skill uses one preferences file:
$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/skill-state/web-collection/preferences.json
Fallback:
$HOME/.openclaw/skill-state/web-collection/preferences.json
Helper script:
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh show
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh check
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh apply-recommended
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh set-key defaultConnectionMode cloud
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh set-key defaultCloudDeviceId desktop-local-smoke-fix
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh set-key defaultCloudToken <user_api_key>
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh set-key defaultExportMode csv
Required defaults:
defaultExportModedefaultMaxItemsdefaultFetchDetaildefaultDetailSpeed
Mode-specific defaults:
local- no extra required key if the default local bridge URL works
cloud- cloud base URL is fixed to
https://i-sync.cnby default defaultCloudDeviceIdonly when it is not already provided by environment variablesdefaultCloudTokenonly when it is not already provided by environment variables
- cloud base URL is fixed to
run.sh enforces this. If these are incomplete, collection must not start.
First-run flow
On first use:
- Determine the execution mode first.
- If the mode is
cloud, collect these values only when they are not already available from environment variables or stored preferences:defaultCloudDeviceIddefaultCloudToken
- Then handle the common defaults:
- 导出方式
- 默认采集条数
- 是否默认采集详情
- 默认采集速度
- Ask only one question for the common defaults:
推荐配置自己配置
- If the user chooses
推荐配置, run:
bash {baseDir}/scripts/export_preference.sh apply-recommended
- If the user chooses
自己配置, ask for all four values in one message, not one by one. - Only continue when
checkpasses.
Preferred cloud prompt:
检测到你要走云端分发,还需要这两个配置:
- device_id
- API token
请一次性发给我。
Preferred quick-reply prompt for common defaults:
常用配置还需要确认一次。
这些配置包括:
- 导出方式
- 默认采集条数
- 是否默认采集详情
- 默认采集速度
你可以直接用推荐配置,也可以自己配置。
[[quick_replies: 推荐配置, 自己配置]]
Preferred custom-config prompt:
好,我们一次性把默认配置定好。请直接按下面格式回复:
导出方式:CSV / 多维表格
默认采集条数:10 / 20 / 50 / 100
是否默认采集详情:是 / 否
默认采集速度:fast / medium / slow
说明:
- 多维表格:适合查看、筛选、分享
- CSV:适合本地保存
- 采集详情:开启后结果更完整,但一般更慢
- 采集速度:推荐 fast
Recommended defaults:
- 运行位置:
local - 导出方式:
多维表格 - 采集条数:
20 - 采集详情:
true - 采集速度:
fast
Cloud Mode
Use cloud mode when the collection request should be sent to the platform backend first, and then dispatched to the user's connected local connector.
Cloud responsibilities:
- call
/api/v1/connector/cloud/dispatch - authenticate with
Authorization: Bearer <user_api_key> - include
device_id - keep the collection body unchanged inside
payload - enforce a strict cloud payload template before dispatch to avoid missing fields
- default fallback when missing:
maxItems=20,mode=search,interval=300,fetchDetail=true,detailSpeed=fast
- default fallback when missing:
- poll
/api/v1/connector/cloud/commands/{command_id}for final status and result - if single-command query is unavailable, fallback to
/api/v1/connector/cloud/commands?device_id=... - treat
result+task_updatesas the source of completion snapshot
Do not:
- call the user's local
19820port from the cloud path - rewrite
payloadsemantics - mix local admin token logic into cloud requests
Connector Command Ladder
When collection fails, parameters look incomplete, or status is unclear, run connector checks in this order instead of guessing.
Layer 1: capability
GET /api/helpGET /api/routesGET /api/filters(or platform/method scoped)
Layer 2: diagnostics
GET /api/statusGET /api/platform-stateGET /api/cloud/statusPOST /api/preflightwith the final request body
Layer 3: execution and tracking
POST /api/collectGET /api/tasks/:id(local mode)GET /api/v1/connector/cloud/commands/{command_id}(cloud mode, preferred)GET /api/v1/connector/cloud/commands?device_id=...(cloud fallback)POST /api/stoporPOST /api/resetwhen stuck
Local command template (admin token required):
TOKEN="$(cat ~/.meixi-connector/bridge-admin-token.txt)"
curl -s -H "x-connector-admin-token: $TOKEN" "http://127.0.0.1:19820/api/status"
Cloud command template (async result):
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer <token_or_api_key>" \
"https://i-sync.cn/api/v1/connector/cloud/commands/<command_id>"
Export Behavior
bitable- run with
--export-target bitable - expect
export.tableUrlon success
- run with
csv- run with
--export-target csv - do not require a table link in the final reply
- run with
Entry Point
Preferred wrapper:
bash {baseDir}/scripts/run.sh ...
The wrapper:
- runs
scripts/preflight_check.shfirst - applies stored preferences
- enforces required setup
- runs either local bridge mode or cloud dispatch mode
- local mode dispatches only through
scripts/collect_and_export_loop.sh - cloud mode dispatches only through
scripts/cloud_dispatch_loop.sh - never mixes the local and cloud send-command scripts
Bundled Resources
scripts/preflight_check.sh- validates required defaults before dispatch
- treats environment-variable configuration as already satisfied and never asks for it
scripts/run.sh- chooses exactly one dispatch path based on
connection-mode - never mixes local and cloud send-command scripts
- chooses exactly one dispatch path based on
scripts/collect_and_export_loop.sh- local-only send-command script
scripts/cloud_dispatch_loop.sh- cloud-only send-command script
scripts/export_preference.sh- stores reusable defaults and masks cloud token in human-readable output
references/learning-guide.md- compact guidance for complex requests and asking rules

Closed Loop
local mode:
- verify
pluginConnected=true - wait for idle state
- start
/api/collect - handle
TASK_RUNNINGviastop -> wait idle -> retry - poll
/api/tasks/<taskId>untilcompletedorerror - if export is required, verify the expected export result
cloud mode:
- query
/api/v1/connector/cloud/status?device_id=... - dispatch
action=collectto/api/v1/connector/cloud/dispatch - keep querying command result (
/api/v1/connector/cloud/commands/{command_id}preferred) - after each poll, refresh current collection state from command status
- wait for
completedor terminal error state - on completion, read
resultandtask_updatesfor records/count/export snapshot and include key fields in the final reply
Quick query examples:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token_or_api_key>" \
"https://i-sync.cn/api/v1/connector/cloud/commands?device_id=<device_id>"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token_or_api_key>" \
"https://i-sync.cn/api/v1/connector/cloud/commands/<command_id>"
Final Reply
When successful:
- Mention whether the run used
localorcloudmode. - If
cloudmode was used, include the command status. - If export mode is
bitableandexport.tableUrlexists, include the table link first. - If export mode is
csv, explicitly say export mode is CSV. - Then include:
- status
- export status
- collected count
- short analysis
When bitable export is expected but no table link exists, explicitly say export did not finish correctly.
Troubleshooting
pluginConnected=false- Chrome/plugin is not connected to the bridge
- bridge/status mismatch
- in
localmode, ensure collect, status, and stop all use the same local base URL
- in
- cloud dispatch auth failed
- check
defaultCloudToken
- check
- cloud dispatch could not reach device
- check
defaultCloudDeviceIdand whether the local connector is online
- check
TASK_RUNNING- use stop + retry, or
--force-stop-before-start
- use stop + retry, or
- long record output hiding key fields
- trust the connector loop's compact summary output rather than raw task JSON
