lark is a Claude agent skill from vm0-ai/vm0-skills that integrates Lark collaboration APIs for ByteDance workspace tools when developers automate docs, bots, and Lark Open Platform requests.

About

lark is a vm0-ai/vm0-skills agent skill for Lark API collaboration workflows in ByteDance workspace environments. It triggers when users mention Lark, Lark docs, or ByteDance workspace tools, and documents connector troubleshooting with zero doctor commands against LARK_TOKEN and the bot info endpoint at open.larksuite.com/open-apis/bot/v3/info. The skill clarifies that LARK_TOKEN is the Lark API bearer token available after the Lark connector is connected, not an app secret, and includes shell authentication helpers that fail clearly when the runtime token is missing. Developers reach for lark when coding agents must read Lark docs, call bot APIs, or debug connector auth during integration build. Pair lark with vm0 connector diagnostics when requests fail after the Lark connector is connected. The skill lists 272 installs on skills.sh within the vm0-ai/vm0-skills connector collection for Lark workspace automation.

How do you integrate Lark API in agent workflows?

Use lark for development tasks

Who is it for?

Developers automating Lark docs, bots, or ByteDance workspace actions through vm0 connectors who need bearer-token auth and troubleshooting commands.

Skip if: Teams standardized on Slack or Microsoft Teams APIs without Lark or ByteDance workspace infrastructure in the integration scope.

When should I use this skill?

A user mentions Lark, Lark docs, ByteDance workspace tools, or asks to debug LARK_TOKEN connector failures for Lark API requests.

What you get

Lark API request examples, LARK_TOKEN authentication helpers, connector diagnostic commands, and bot info endpoint integration notes.

  • Lark API call patterns
  • Connector diagnostic commands
  • Bearer token auth helper

Troubleshooting

If Lark requests fail after the Lark connector is connected, check the runtime token and API access:

zero doctor check-connector --env-name LARK_TOKEN
zero doctor check-connector --url https://open.larksuite.com/open-apis/bot/v3/info --method GET

LARK_TOKEN is the Lark API bearer token available after the Lark connector is connected; do not use it as an app secret.

Authentication Helper

Use this helper in shell examples to read the bearer token and fail clearly when it is missing from the runtime:

get_lark_token() {
  if [ -z "${LARK_TOKEN:-}" ]; then
    echo "Error: LARK_TOKEN is not set. Connect the Lark connector, then run zero doctor check-connector --env-name LARK_TOKEN." >&2
    return 1
  fi
  printf '%s\n' "$LARK_TOKEN"
}

TOKEN=$(get_lark_token)

Guidelines

1. Authentication: Use the get_lark_token helper in shell examples so commands fail clearly when LARK_TOKEN is missing from the runtime.

2. Rate Limits: Lark has rate limits per app. Add delays for bulk operations to avoid hitting limits.

3. ID Types: Use open_id for most user operations. Use chat_id when targeting group chats.

4. Card Builder: Design complex interactive cards using Lark Card Builder: https://open.larksuite.com/tool/cardbuilder

5. Error Handling: Check the code field in responses. 0 means success, non-zero indicates an error.

6. Content Escaping: Message content must be JSON-escaped when passed as string. Use jq to build complex payloads:

   CONTENT=$(jq -cn --arg text "Hello" '{text: $text}')
   jq -n \
     --arg receive_id "ou_xxx" \
     --arg content "$CONTENT" \
     '{receive_id: $receive_id, msg_type: "text", content: $content}' \
     > /tmp/lark_request.json

7. Date Conversion: Calendar events require Unix timestamps. Use date command with appropriate flags for your OS:

  • Linux: date -d "2025-01-15T10:00:00+08:00" +%s
  • macOS: date -j -f "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z" "2025-01-15T10:00:00+08:00" +%s

How it compares

Pick lark for vm0 Lark connector and Open Platform bot workflows; use Slack or Teams integration skills when the collaboration stack is not ByteDance Lark.

FAQ

How does lark authenticate Lark API requests?

lark uses the LARK_TOKEN bearer token available after the Lark connector is connected, not an app secret. The skill includes zero doctor check-connector commands for LARK_TOKEN and GET requests to open.larksuite.com/open-apis/bot/v3/info when debugging failures.

When should developers invoke the lark skill?

Developers should invoke lark when users mention Lark, Lark docs, or ByteDance workspace tools, or when Lark API requests fail after connector setup. The vm0-ai skill provides authentication helpers and connector diagnostics for Open Platform bot workflows.
