AI agents running inside OpenClaw / Hermes were routinely creating a parallel
app via `config init --new` instead of binding to the agent's existing app,
because every "not configured" hint and several deny errors hard-coded
`config init` regardless of workspace. Once bound, the same agents could
silently grant themselves user identity (impersonation) without the user
ever seeing a risk message in chat.
Changes:
- Introduce `core.NotConfiguredError` / `NoActiveProfileError` /
`reconfigureHint` helpers that branch on `CurrentWorkspace()`. In agent
workspaces they point at `lark-cli config bind --help` (a help page, not
a ready-to-run command) so AI must read the binding workflow and confirm
identity preset with the user before acting. In local terminals they
preserve the previous `config init --new` guidance.
- Migrate every `config init` hint that should be workspace-aware:
RequireConfigForProfile, default credential provider, credential provider
fallback, secret-resolve mismatch, config show, strict-mode entry-point
errors, default-as, profile use/rename/remove, auth list, doctor's
config_file check (which now also wraps the OS-level "no such file"
noise into the user-shaped "not configured" message).
- Refuse `config init` when run inside an OpenClaw / Hermes workspace by
default; add `--force-init` for the rare case the user genuinely wants
a parallel app. Without this guard, hint fixes were undone the moment
AI ignored them.
- Rewrite the strict-mode deny errors in cmd/auth/login.go, cmd/prune.go,
and internal/cmdutil/factory.go. The previous "AI agents are strictly
prohibited from modifying this setting" terminated AI reasoning while
providing no real gate. New errors point at `config strict-mode --help`
with the legitimate confirmation flow and explicitly note that switching
does NOT require re-bind. Integration test envelopes updated.
- Tighten `config bind --help` and `config strict-mode --help` to encode
the user-confirmation discipline directly: identity preset semantics
(bot-only vs user-default), "DO NOT switch without explicit user
confirmation", and a cross-reference clarifying that `config bind` is
for changing the underlying app while `config strict-mode` is the
policy-only switch (resolves an ambiguity an audit run found).
- Surface user-identity (impersonation) risk at every config write that
newly grants it, by reusing the canonical IdentityEscalationMessage
string from bind_messages.go:
- `noticeUserDefaultRisk` fires on flag-mode bind landing on
user-default, including the first-time case `warnIdentityEscalation`
misses (it requires a previous bot lock).
- `setStrictMode` warns when transitioning bot → user or bot → off
(newly permits user identity); stays quiet on narrowing changes
and on off → user (off already permitted user).
- Add tests: notconfigured_test.go (workspace branches),
init_guard_test.go (refuse + --force-init bypass), bind_warning_test.go
(user-default warning fires; bot-only does not), strict_mode_warning_test.go
(5 transitions covering both warn and no-warn paths).
Two follow-ups intentionally deferred: the keychain master-key hint at
internal/keychain/keychain.go:42 still suggests `config init` because the
keychain package can't import core (would be circular); fixing requires
either parameterizing the hint via callback or extracting workspace into
its own package. The lark-shared skill doc still tells AI to run
`config init` for first-time setup; updating the skill is in scope for
a follow-up PR.

Installation & Quick Start
Requirements
Before you start, make sure you have:
- Node.js (
npm/npx) - Go
v1.23+ and Python 3 (only required for building from source)
Quick Start (Human Users)
Note for AI assistants: If you are an AI Agent helping the user with installation, jump directly to Quick Start (AI Agent), which contains all the steps you need to complete.
Install
Choose one of the following methods:
Option 1 — From npm (recommended):
# Install CLI
npm install -g @larksuite/cli
# Install CLI SKILL (required)
npx skills add larksuite/cli -y -g
Option 2 — From source:
Requires Go v1.23+ and Python 3.
git clone https://github.com/larksuite/cli.git
cd cli
make install
# Install CLI SKILL (required)
npx skills add larksuite/cli -y -g
Configure & Use
# 1. Configure app credentials (one-time, interactive guided setup)

Quick Start (AI Agent)
The following steps are for AI Agents. Some steps require the user to complete actions in a browser.
Step 1 — Install
# Install CLI
npm install -g @larksuite/cli

Security & Risk Warnings (Read Before Use)
This tool can be invoked by AI Agents to automate operations on the Lark/Feishu Open Platform, and carries inherent risks such as model hallucinations, unpredictable execution, and prompt injection. After you authorize Lark/Feishu permissions, the AI Agent will act under your user identity within the authorized scope, which may lead to high-risk consequences such as leakage of sensitive data or unauthorized operations. Please use with caution.
To reduce these risks, the tool enables default security protections at multiple layers. However, these risks still exist. We strongly recommend that you do not proactively modify any default security settings; once relevant restrictions are relaxed, the risks will increase significantly, and you will bear the consequences.
We recommend using the Lark/Feishu bot integrated with this tool as a private conversational assistant. Do not add it to group chats or allow other users to interact with it, to avoid abuse of permissions or data leakage.
Please fully understand all usage risks. By using this tool, you are deemed to voluntarily assume all related responsibilities.
