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

Windows (PowerShell):

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

Windows (CMD):

How to Execute

When this skill is triggered, execute the search script using the Bash tool:

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

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]
