Installation
Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure you have the CREO4U_SKILL_API_KEY environment variable set.
Setup API Key
Option 1: Provide API Key during installation
export CREO4U_SKILL_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
Option 2: If not provided, the skill will prompt for it
- If
CREO4U_SKILL_API_KEYis already set in your environment, the skill will use it directly - If not set, the skill will ask you to provide the API key
After Installation
Once installed, all CLI commands will automatically use the CREO4U_SKILL_API_KEY environment variable — no need to pass --token or any API key parameter.
语构 App Builder
语构 is a chat-driven full-stack application builder. Users describe what they want in natural language and 语构 generates a production-ready web application, including frontend UI, backend services, database schema, and a live development environment.
This skill enables AI agents to interact with the 语构 platform to create, iterate, publish, and deploy applications.
All platform operations must be executed through the CLI script:
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py [global options] <command> [command options]
IMPORTANT: Argument Order — Global options (--token, --base-url, --insecure, --timeout) must appear BEFORE the subcommand. Placing them after the subcommand will cause a parse error.
# ✅ Correct — global options before subcommand
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py --token TOKEN --insecure create --name "My App"
# ❌ Wrong — global options after subcommand
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py create --token TOKEN --name "My App"
Do not call platform APIs directly. Always use the CLI commands provided by this skill.
When to Use This Skill

Application Development Description Guidelines
✅ DO: Simple, Focused Requests
For New Applications
Describe the core functionality in 1-2 sentences:
"Build a todo app where users can add tasks, mark them complete, and delete them"
"Create a dashboard to display sales data with charts and filters"
"Build a landing page for a SaaS product with pricing section and contact form"
For Bug Fixes or Optimizations (1-2 changes per request)
✅ Correct - Single Focus:
"Fix the submit button not responding on the contact form"
"Optimize the loading speed of the data table"
"Add error handling for invalid email input"
"Fix the date picker not showing correct format"
✅ Correct - Two Related Changes:
"Fix the login button styling and add a loading indicator"
"Optimize the database query and add caching for faster response"
"Fix the mobile layout and adjust the navigation menu"
❌ WRONG - Too Complex (DO NOT use):
"Fix the login button, optimize the database, add user authentication, redesign the homepage, and deploy to production"
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Complexity Limits
When sending messages to the chat API:
| Request Type | Max Items |
|---|---|
| Bug fixes | 1-2 related bugs |
| Feature additions | 1-2 related features |
| Optimizations | 1-2 related optimizations |
| UI changes | 1-2 related components |
Rationale: 语构 platform works best with focused, incremental changes. Complex multi-part requests may result in incomplete implementation or unexpected behavior.
Iterative Development Pattern
For complex requirements, break them into multiple chat messages:
# Round 1: Build basic structure
chat -c $CID -m "Build a todo app with add and list features" --watch
# Round 2: Add one feature
chat -c $CID -m "Add delete functionality to todo items" --watch
# Round 3: Add another feature
chat -c $CID -m "Add edit functionality and local storage" --watch
# Round 4: Polish
chat -c $CID -m "Improve the UI styling and add animations" --watch
How to Describe Application Requirements
✅ Do: Keep It Simple
Describe what the application should do in one or two sentences:
"Build a todo app where users can add tasks, mark them complete, and delete them"
"Create a dashboard to display sales data with charts and filters"
❌ Don't: Over-Specify
Avoid:
- Technology stack (e.g., "use React", "use FastAPI")
- Performance requirements (e.g., "handle 1000 concurrent users")
- Architecture constraints (e.g., "use microservices")
- Detailed feature lists
For iterative modifications, keep requests brief — only describe the change needed, not the full application again.
For bug fixes or optimizations, limit to 1-2 related changes per request. See Application Development Description Guidelines for details.
The platform handles technical decisions automatically.
Stateless Execution Model
The CLI script is stateless. It does not store workflow state between calls.
Application workflow state is maintained by the 语构 platform and must be tracked via:
conversation_id— the unique session identifiermessage_id— identifies a specific message/generation run
Agents must pass the appropriate identifiers when continuing conversations or checking results.
Application Lifecycle
语构 applications follow a standard lifecycle:
1. Initial Creation
For a new application:
- Start with a
chatrequest describing the product - The platform generates the application automatically
- Application is available in the development environment
2. Multi-Round Modification
After an application has been created:
- Continue using
chatwith the sameconversation_id - Chat messages modify the existing application
- No additional generation step required
3. Publishing
Publishing deploys the application to production:
- Use
publishcommand to trigger deployment - Use
publish --waitto auto-poll until deployment completes - After successful publish, the app is live at the preview URL
Application URLs
语构 provides URLs during the lifecycle:
Development/Preview URL
After the application is created, access it at:
https://preview-{conversation_id}.creo4u.com/
This URL is for:
- viewing the application
- testing features
- development iteration
Production URL
After publishing succeeds, the application is accessible at:
https://preview-{conversation_id}.creo4u.com/
This is the public production URL of the deployed application.
Share this URL only after publishing completes successfully.
Standard Workflow
Create New Application
create → chat --watch → publish --wait → urls
Iterate on Existing Application
chat --watch → result → chat --watch → result → ...
Publish Application
publish --wait → urls
Copy Own Application
copy → chat --watch → result → publish --wait
Clone from App Market
market-list → clone-market → chat --watch → result → publish --wait
Version Management
versions → restore-version → chat --watch → finalize-version
Build with Attachments
upload --file → chat --attachment OSS_PATH --watch → publish --wait → urls
Build from Local File
chat --file /path/to/requirements.txt --watch → result → publish --wait → urls
Complete Workflow Example
# Step 1: Create a conversation
CONV=$(python scripts/yugoo_cli.py create --name "Todo App")
CID=$(echo $CONV | python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['conversation_id'])")
# Step 2: Send development instructions and watch progress
# The poll_completed snapshot contains cost/time in assistant messages
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat \
-c $CID \
-m "Build a todo app with add, complete, and delete features" \
--watch
# Step 3: Publish the application (auto-wait for completion)
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $CID --wait
# Step 4: Get the production URL
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py urls -c $CID
Available Commands
Note: All commands automatically use the CREO4U_SKILL_API_KEY environment variable for authentication.
create
Create a new conversation.
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py create [--name NAME]
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--name | New Conversation | Conversation name |
Output: JSON with conversation_id, name, status, created_at.
upload
Upload a local file as a chat attachment. The file is uploaded to OSS and the returned oss_path can be passed to chat --attachment.
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py upload --file /path/to/file
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--file | Yes | Local file path to upload (max 50MB) |
Output: JSON with oss_path, filename, file_md5, size_bytes.
{"oss_path": "chat/attachments/123/abc123def456/document.pdf", "filename": "document.pdf", "file_md5": "abc123def456...", "size_bytes": 1048576}
Example — Upload then chat with attachment:
# Step 1: Upload the file
UPLOAD=$(python scripts/yugoo_cli.py upload --file design.png)
OSS_PATH=$(echo $UPLOAD | python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['oss_path'])")
# Step 2: Send message with attachment
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c $CID -m "参考这个设计图来实现页面" --attachment "$OSS_PATH" --watch
chat
Send a message and optionally watch for completion via polling. This is the primary workflow command.
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c CID -m "message" [--watch] [--attachment OSS_PATH]
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c CID -f /path/to/file [--watch]
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
-c, --conversation-id | No | Conversation ID (omit to auto-create) |
-m, --content | No* | Message content (use - to read from stdin) |
-f, --file | No* | Read message content from a local file path |
-w, --watch | No | Poll for completion after sending message (15s interval) |
--agent-name | No | Specific agent to handle the message |
--context | No | JSON string for additional context |
--attachment | No | OSS path of uploaded attachment (repeatable for multiple files) |
*Either --content or --file is required. --file takes priority if both are provided.
Output without --watch: Single JSON line with message_id, conversation_id.
Output with --watch: Polling mode with completion status
{"event": "message_accepted", "message_id": "...", "conversation_id": "..."}
{"event": "poll", "iteration": 1, "state": "pending"}
{"event": "poll", "iteration": 2, "state": "running"}
{"event": "poll_completed", "iteration": 3, "state": "completed", "snapshot": {...}}
Important:
- Use
--watchfor most cases — it sends the message AND polls for completion in one command. - Use
--fileto send a local file's content as the message — useful for long requirement documents or pre-written prompts. - Use
--content -to read long prompts from stdin. - Use
uploadcommand first to getoss_path, then pass it via--attachment.
publish
Trigger deployment to production.
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c CID [--wait]
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
-c, --conversation-id | Yes | Conversation ID to publish |

Examples:
1. Publish and manually check status:
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $CID
2. Publish and auto-wait for completion (recommended):
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $CID --wait
Important:
- Application must be created before publishing
- After successful publish, the app is live at the preview URL
- Use
--waitflag to avoid manual polling
publish-status
Check the status of a deployment.
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish-status -c CID
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|

Usage Pattern:
# Publish and auto-wait for completion (recommended)
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $CID --wait
# Or check status manually
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish-status -c $CID
Tip: Use publish --wait to avoid manual polling.
messages
Get the full conversation snapshot (all messages and state).
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py messages -c CID
Output: Complete snapshot JSON with all runs, messages, panels, and metadata.
result
Extract structured development results from the conversation snapshot. This is the recommended way to get results after a chat --watch completes.

python scripts/yugoo_cli.py clone-market --item-id ITEM_ID
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--item-id | Yes | Market item ID to clone |
Output: JSON with conversation_id, cloned_code, cloned_prd, cloned_history, message_count.
Important:
- The cloned app is created as a new conversation you own
- What gets cloned depends on the original app's clone permission settings:
- CODE: workspace source files
- PRD: design documents
- HISTORY: conversation messages
- Workspace files are copied in the background
Example - Clone from Market and Iterate:
# Step 1: Browse market
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py market-list --keyword "dashboard"

Output Conventions
- stdout: JSON lines (one JSON object per line). Machine-readable.
- stderr: Error messages and metadata.
- Exit code 0: Success.
- Exit code 1: Error (details on stderr as JSON).
Every stdout line is a complete, self-contained JSON object. This enables piping to jq for filtering and line-by-line processing by AI agents.
Polling Mode
The chat and publish commands with --watch use polling to monitor progress:
- Interval: Fixed 15 seconds between polls
- Single request timeout: 10 minutes (40 iterations per request)
- Maximum total timeout: 1 hour (up to 6 retries)
Polling stops automatically when the run reaches completed or failed state.
Recommendation: Use --wait flag for publish command to auto-poll status.
poll
Resume polling for a message that is still in progress (after a poll_timeout).
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py poll -c CID --message-id MID
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
-c, --conversation-id | Yes | Conversation ID |
--message-id | Yes | Message ID to poll |
Output: Same as chat --watch — emits poll events and ends with poll_completed or poll_timeout.
CRITICAL: Polling Completion Rules
You MUST follow these rules strictly when using chat --watch:
-
Single request timeout is 10 minutes: Each
chat --watchorpollcommand polls for up to 10 minutes. If the development is not done, the CLI emits apoll_timeoutevent and exits. This is normal — development can take longer than 10 minutes. -
On
poll_timeout, you MUST retry using thepollcommand: When you receive apoll_timeoutevent, immediately run thepollcommand with the sameconversation_idandmessage_idto resume monitoring. Do NOT treatpoll_timeoutas a failure or stop. -
Maximum 6 retries (1 hour total): You may retry the
pollcommand up to 6 times (including the initialchat --watch). This ensures a maximum total timeout of 1 hour (6 × 10 min). If all 6 attempts time out, then treat it as a genuine timeout and report to the user.Retry flow:
chat --watch (attempt 1, up to 10 min) → poll_timeout? → poll (attempt 2, up to 10 min) → poll_timeout? → poll (attempt 3, up to 10 min) → poll_timeout? → poll (attempt 4, up to 10 min) → poll_timeout? → poll (attempt 5, up to 10 min) → poll_timeout? → poll (attempt 6, up to 10 min) → poll_timeout? → report timeout to userExample:
# Initial request python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c $CID -m "Build a complex app" --watch # If poll_timeout, resume with poll: python scripts/yugoo_cli.py poll -c $CID --message-id $MID # Repeat poll up to 5 more times if needed -
Wait for ALL tasks to complete: The polling only ends with
poll_completedwhen every task and phase in the development pipeline has finished (status =completedorfailed). Do NOT consider the operation done just because an assistant message appeared or a partial result was returned. -
Do NOT stop polling on intermediate messages: During development, the platform may return intermediate status messages such as:
- "服务正在启动中,预计还需要几分钟时间。前端服务启动后即可访问!"
- "正在生成代码..."
- "正在部署..."
- Any message indicating services are still starting or building
These are progress updates, NOT completion signals. You MUST continue waiting for the
poll_completedevent. Never interpret these messages as the final result. -
Only
poll_completedmeans truly done:poll_completed→ Development finished. Proceed toresultandspending.poll_timeout→ Not finished yet. Retry withpollcommand (up to 6 total attempts).
Error Handling
All HTTP errors produce JSON on stderr:
{"error": {"error": "CONVERSATION_NOT_FOUND", "message": "Conversation not found"}, "status_code": 404}
Common error codes:
| Status | Error | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 402 | INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT | User has insufficient credit |
| 404 | CONVERSATION_NOT_FOUND | Conversation does not exist |
| 409 | CONVERSATION_IN_PROGRESS | Another message is being processed |
| 409 | WIP_VERSION_CONFLICT | Version conflict during message send |
| 409 | PUBLISH_IN_PROGRESS | Another publish is being processed |
| 501 | NOT_IMPLEMENTED | Feature not available in current mode |
If the conversation is locked (409), wait a few seconds and retry.
Application Copy & Clone Workflow
Copy Your Own Application
Use copy to create an independent copy of your existing application, then iterate on it:
# Copy the app
NEW=$(python scripts/yugoo_cli.py copy -c $CID --new-name "Todo App V2")
NEW_CID=$(echo $NEW | python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['conversation_id'])")
# Develop on the copy
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c $NEW_CID -m "Add user authentication" --watch
# Publish the new version
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $NEW_CID --wait
Clone from App Market
Use market-list to find apps, then clone-market to clone into your workspace:
# Browse the market
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py market-list --keyword "ecommerce" --limit 5
# Clone an app (use item_id from market-list output)
CLONE=$(python scripts/yugoo_cli.py clone-market --item-id $ITEM_ID)
CID=$(echo $CLONE | python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['conversation_id'])")
# Customize the cloned app
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c $CID -m "Replace product catalog with my inventory" --watch
# Get results and publish
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py result -c $CID
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $CID --wait
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py urls -c $CID
Version Management Workflow
Versions allow you to create checkpoints, switch between states, and safely experiment.
View and Switch Versions
# List all versions
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py versions -c $CID
# Check current version
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py current-version -c $CID
# Switch to an earlier version
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py restore-version -c $CID --version 2
Create a Checkpoint (Finalize)
After development, finalize the current WIP version to create a permanent checkpoint:
# Develop features
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c $CID -m "Add payment integration" --watch
# Lock the version as a stable checkpoint
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py finalize-version -c $CID
# Add a description to the version
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py update-version-desc -c $CID --version 3 --description "Added payment integration with Stripe"
Undo Changes (Delete WIP Version)
If a development round didn't go well, delete the WIP version to revert:
# Check current version (e.g., version 4, WIP)
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py current-version -c $CID
# Delete the WIP version and revert to previous
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py delete-version -c $CID --version 4
# Now back at version 3 — try again
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py chat -c $CID -m "Add payment integration using a different approach" --watch
Error Handling Guidance
Agents should handle the following situations:
- publish requested before application has been created
- missing
conversation_id - interrupted polling loop
- failed deployment status
- incorrect or missing parameter values
If workflow state is unclear, inspect the conversation or use result command before taking the next action.
Pro Tips:
- Always check command
--helpwhen unsure about parameters - Use
--waitflag withpublishto simplify deployment - Save
conversation_idfromcreateresponse - After creation, use
chatdirectly for modifications
Application Sharing Rule (IMPORTANT)
- You must share your application only using the production preview URL (after it has been published).
Production preview URL format:
https://preview-{conversation_id}.creo4u.com/
- If the application has not been published, you must publish it before sharing with others.
Example publish command:
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c $CID --wait
Tips
- Use
--watchwithchatfor the common case — it sends the message and polls for completion. - Use
--waitwithpublishto auto-poll deployment status. - Use
resultafter completion to get a clean summary without parsing poll events. - Use
--filewithchatto send a local file's content as the message, useful for long requirement documents or pre-written prompts. - The
--content -flag reads message content from stdin, useful for long prompts. conversation_idis abbreviated as-cin all commands for convenience.- Always check
resultoutput forstatus: "failed"anderrorfield to detect failures. - Use
healthto verify the sandbox is ready before sending development instructions. - Use
start-runtimeto restart a container that was reclaimed due to inactivity.
Development Completion Best Practice
After an application is built, do NOT manually inspect the generated code files.
After chat --watch (or poll) completes with poll_completed:
- Query Development Cost and Development Time using the
spendingcommand with--message-id:
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py spending -c "$CID" --message-id "$MID"
Extract from the response:
- Development Cost:
items[0].total_cost(Credits) - Development Time:
items[0].duration_seconds(seconds)
- Publish and get URLs:
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py publish -c "$CID" --wait
python scripts/yugoo_cli.py urls -c "$CID"
Then respond with the following fixed format (do NOT change field names or order):
**Application Summary**: [one-line description of what was built and key features]
**Preview URL**: https://preview-{conversation_id}.creo4u.com/
**Publish URL**: [url field from publish command output]
**Publish Status**: [published / failed]
**Development Cost**: [N] Credits
**Development Time**: [N]s
IMPORTANT: Always publish after development completes. Never skip any field. Always include both Preview URL and Publish URL.
