Setup

1. Get Your API Key

  1. Visit 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:

export FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:FELO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Windows (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 search script using the Bash tool:

bash .agents/skills/felo-search/scripts/search.sh "USER_QUERY_HERE"

⚠️ 路徑安全:skill 腳本位於 repo 根目錄的 .agents/skills/ 下。若 cwd 不在 repo root,請先執行 git rev-parse --show-toplevel 取得絕對路徑,再 cd 到該路徑後執行。禁止在指令中使用 $(...) 語法(會被 Copilot CLI 安全過濾器擋下)。

Notes:

  • Replace USER_QUERY_HERE with the actual user query
  • The script handles API key validation, JSON escaping, and API calls
  • Supports all special characters, Unicode (Chinese, Japanese, etc.), and quotes

Parse and Format Response

The API returns JSON with this structure:

{
  "answer": "AI-generated answer text",
  "query_analysis": ["optimized query 1", "optimized query 2"]
}

Present the response to the user in this format:

## Answer
[Display the answer field]

## Query Analysis
Optimized search terms: [list query_analysis items]
