# Felo Search Skill

When to Use

Trigger this skill for questions requiring current or real-time information:

**Trigger words:**

**Explicit commands:** `/felo-search`, "search with felo", "felo search"

**Do NOT use for:**

Setup

1. Get Your API Key

1. Visit [felo.ai](https://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 following steps using the Bash tool:

Step 1: Check API Key

Use the Bash tool to verify the API key is set:

if [ -z "$FELO_API_KEY" ]; then
  echo "ERROR: FELO_API_KEY not set"
  exit 1
fi
echo "API key configured"

If the API key is not set, inform the user with setup instructions and STOP.

Step 2: Make API Request

Extract the user's query and call the Felo API using a temporary JSON file to handle special characters:

# Create query JSON (replace USER_QUERY with actual query)
cat > /tmp/felo_query.json << 'EOF'
{"query": "USER_QUERY_HERE"}
EOF

# Call Felo API
curl -s -X POST https://openapi.felo.ai/v2/chat \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FELO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @/tmp/felo_query.json

# Clean up
rm -f /tmp/felo_query.json

**Notes:**

Step 3: Parse and Format Response

The API returns JSON with this structure:

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

Parse the JSON response and present it to the user in this format:

## Answer
[Display the answer field]

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