Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
--summary <text>	Yes	The title or summary of the task
--description <text>	No	Detailed description of the task
--assignee <id>	No	Assignee ID. Use user open_id like ou_xxx for people, or app ID like cli_xxx for apps.
--follower <id>	No	Follower ID. Use user open_id like ou_xxx for people, or app ID like cli_xxx for apps.
--due <time>	No	Due date. Supports ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD, relative time (e.g., +2d), or ms timestamp. YYYY-MM-DD and relative time will automatically set it as an all-day task.
--tasklist-id <id>	No	The GUID of the tasklist, or a full AppLink URL (the CLI will automatically extract the guid parameter from the URL).
--idempotency-key <key>	No	Client token to ensure idempotency of the request.
--dry-run	No	Preview the API call (JSON payload) without actually creating the task.

Workflow

1. Confirm with the user: task summary, due date, assignee, and tasklist if necessary.
   • Crucial Rule for Assignee: If the user explicitly or implicitly says "create a task for me" (给我创建一个任务), or "help me create a task" (帮我新建/创建一个任务), you MUST assign the task to the current logged-in user. You can get the current user's open_id by executing lark-cli auth status (it already outputs JSON by default, so do not add --json) or lark-cli contact +get-user first, extracting .identities.user.openId (from auth status) or .data.user.open_id (from contact +get-user), and then passing it to the --assignee parameter.
2. Execute lark-cli task +create --summary "..." ...
3. Judge success by ok == true in the stdout JSON (the success envelope has no code field — do not test code == 0), then report the result: task ID (data.guid) and summary.

Example success response:

{
  "ok": true,
  "identity": "user",
  "data": {
    "guid": "e297d3d0-4b60-4a5f-a4d4-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "url": "https://applink.larkoffice.com/client/todo/detail?guid=e297d3d0-4b60-4a5f-a4d4-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  }
}

Caution

This is a Write Operation -- You must confirm the user's intent before executing.
