Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The skill is intended for news, trends, weather, prices, locations, and other information that may become outdated. It requires FELO_API_KEY and sends queries to a third-party service. Use it only for intentional live-search requests; do not submit secrets, private code, personal data, or confidential business context.

**Explicit commands:** `/felo-search`, "search with felo", "felo search"
**Do NOT use for:**
- Code questions about the user's codebase (unless asking about external libraries/docs)
- Pure mathematical calculations or logical reasoning
- Questions about files in the current project
## Setup
### 1. Get Your API Key
1. Visit [felo.ai](https://felo.ai) and log in (or register)
2. Click your avatar in the top right corner → Settings
3. Navigate to the "API Keys" tab
4. Click "Create New Key" to generate a new API Key
5. Copy and save your API Key securely
### 2. Configure API Key
Set the `FELO_API_KEY` environment variable:
**Linux/macOS:**
```bash
export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```
**Windows (PowerShell):**
```powershell
$env:FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
```
**Windows (CMD):**
```cmd
set FELO_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
```
For permanent configuration, add it to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc) or system environment variables.
## How to Execute
When this skill is triggered, execute the following steps using the Bash tool:
### Step 1: Check API Key
Use the Bash tool to verify the API key is set:
```bash
if [ -z "$FELO_API_KEY" ]; then
echo "ERROR: FELO_API_KEY not set"
exit 1
fi
echo "API key configured"
```
If the API key is not set, inform the user with setup instructions and STOP.
### Step 2: Make API Request
Extract the user's query and call the Felo API using a temporary JSON file to handle special characters:
```bash
# Create query JSON (replace USER_QUERY with actual query)
cat > /tmp/felo_query.json << 'EOF'
{"query": "USER_QUERY_HERE"}
EOF
# Call Felo API
curl -s -X POST https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/chat \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FELO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @/tmp/felo_query.json
# Clean up
rm -f /tmp/felo_query.json
```
**Notes:**
- Replace `USER_QUERY_HERE` with the actual user query
- Use heredoc (`cat > file << 'EOF'`) to properly handle Chinese, Japanese, and special characters
- Use `-s` flag with curl for clean output
### Step 3: Parse and Format Response
The API returns JSON with this structure:
```json
{
"answer": "AI-generated answer text",
"query_analysis": ["optimized query 1", "optimized query 2"]
}
```
Parse the JSON response and present it to the user in this format:
```
## Answer
[Display the answer field]
## Query Analysis
Optimized search terms: [list query_analysis items]
```
## Complete Examples
### Example 1: Weather query
**User asks:** "What's the weather in Tokyo today?"
**Expected response format:**
```
## Answer
Tokyo weather today: Sunny, 22°C (72°F). High of 25°C, low of 18°C.
Light winds from the east at 10 km/h. UV index: 6 (high).
Good day for outdoor activities!
## Query Analysis
Optimized search terms: Tokyo weather today, 東京 天気 今日
```
**Bash command:**
```bash
cat > /tmp/felo_query.json << 'EOF'
{"query": "What's the weather in Tokyo today?"}
EOF
curl -s -X POST https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/chat \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FELO_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d @/tmp/felo_query.json
rm -f /tmp/felo_query.json
```
### Example 2: Local news / events

- `MISSING_PARAMETER` - Required parameter is missing
- Solution: Ensure the query parameter is provided
- `INVALID_PARAMETER` - Parameter value is invalid
- Solution: Check the query format
- `CHAT_FAILED` - Internal service error
- Solution: Retry the request or contact Felo support
### Missing API Key
If `FELO_API_KEY` is not set, display this message:
```
❌ Felo API Key not configured
To use this skill, you need to set up your Felo API Key:
1. Get your API key from https://felo.ai (Settings → API Keys)

export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Windows (PowerShell):
$env:FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
3. Restart Claude Code or reload the environment
```
## API Configuration
**Endpoint:** `https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/chat`
**Authentication:** Bearer token in Authorization header (from `FELO_API_KEY` environment variable)
**Request format:**
```json
{
"query": "user's search query"
}
```
**Response format:**

## Important Notes
- This skill should be used for any question requiring current information
- Execute immediately using the Bash tool - don't just describe what you would do
- Multi-language support: Fully supports Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Japanese, and English
- Handle special characters properly: Use heredoc for JSON files to avoid encoding issues
- Parse JSON response: Extract answer and query_analysis fields
- Format nicely: Present results in a clean, readable format with proper markdown
- The API returns results in the same language as the query when possible
