## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

## Documentation

### claw-lark Patches

claw-lark is a compiled plugin — we patch dist files directly. Every plugin update wipes these patches. This skill documents exactly what to change and provides an auto-apply script.

### Quick Apply

bash scripts/apply-patches.sh

Then restart gateway: openclaw gateway restart

### Patches Overview

Four files are patched:

channel.js — messaging.targetResolver (target ID recognition) + outbound account resolution
monitor.js — requireMention filtering + reply-in-thread for deliver callback
provider.js — reply-in-thread for sendTextMessage
send.js — reply-in-thread for SDK reply calls

### 0. channel.js — Target Resolution + Account Resolution (2026-02-22)

Problem 1: message(send, lark, "oc_xxx") returns "Unknown target" because claw-lark has no messaging.targetResolver.looksLikeId. The core doesn't recognize oc_/ou_/on_ as valid IDs and falls through to directory lookup which fails.

Fix: Add messaging property to larkPlugin export:

Import looksLikeLarkId, normalizeLarkTarget from ./utils.js
Add messaging.targetResolver.looksLikeId using existing looksLikeLarkId()
Add messaging.normalizeTarget using existing normalizeLarkTarget()

Problem 2: outbound.sendText gets { cfg, to, accountId } from core but expects { account, recipientId }. The account object is undefined → "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'appId')".

Fix: All 5 outbound methods (sendText, sendMedia, downloadMedia, addReaction, removeReaction) add:

const account = args.account ?? resolveAccount(args.cfg, args.accountId ?? "default");
const recipientId = args.recipientId ?? args.to;

### 1. monitor.js — requireMention Filter

Location: routeMessage() function, after parseMessage(event) and the log line.

What: In group chats, skip messages that don't @mention our bot.

Key facts:

event.message is the correct path (NOT event.event.message)
Lark webhook message.mentions contains mention data with id.open_id
Bot open_id: set via BOT_OPEN_ID env var when running apply-patches.sh
All bots lack user_id (empty string) — cannot use !user_id to detect "is it me"
@_user_N text placeholders appear for ALL @'d bots, not just ours — don't use regex match
Fallback: if mentions array empty, check parsed.text.includes("@" + BOT_NAME) (set via BOT_NAME env var)

### 2. monitor.js — Reply in Thread (deliver callback)

Location: Inside dispatchReplyWithBufferedBlockDispatcher deliver callback.

What:

Set replyToId = payload.replyToId || parsed.threadId || parsed.messageId (always have a value)
Use client.im.message.reply() with reply_in_thread: true instead of client.im.message.create() with root_id

Key facts:

root_id on create only associates with existing thread, does NOT create new thread
reply_in_thread: true on reply API creates a new thread
Works in both p2p and group chats

### 3. provider.js — sendTextMessage Thread Reply

Location: sendTextMessage() function.

What: When threadId is provided, use client.im.message.reply() instead of client.im.message.create().

### 4. send.js — reply_in_thread on SDK Reply

Location: sendMessageLark() and sendCardLark() reply branches.

What: Add reply_in_thread: true to data object in client.im.message.reply() calls.

### Verification

After applying patches and restarting gateway:

Send a group message WITHOUT @bot → should be silently ignored
Send a group message WITH @bot → should reply in thread
Send a DM → should reply in thread
@ another bot → should be silently ignored
