Description
Summary
Sending interactive cards from scripts/agents is currently awkward because im +messages-send accepts --content but not a file-based content flag such as --content-file / --content @file.
For large interactive-card JSON payloads, passing the entire serialized JSON string through a shell argument is brittle.
Environment
lark-cliversion observed:1.0.30- OS: WSL Ubuntu
- Brand: Feishu
- Command:
im +messages-send --msg-type interactive
Current workaround
CARD=$(python3 - <<'PY'
import json
print(json.dumps(json.load(open('/path/to/card.json')), ensure_ascii=False))
PY
)
lark-cli im +messages-send \
--as bot \
--chat-id <chat_id> \
--msg-type interactive \
--content "$CARD"
This works, but it is easy to break quoting/escaping for large cards.
Proposal
Support one of these equivalent forms:
lark-cli im +messages-send --msg-type interactive --content-file ./card.json
or:
lark-cli im +messages-send --msg-type interactive --content @./card.json
or stdin:
lark-cli im +messages-send --msg-type interactive --content - < ./card.json
The CLI could read the file/stdin as raw JSON for interactive messages and validate that the payload is valid JSON before sending.
Why this matters
AI agents and CI jobs commonly materialize card JSON as a file first, validate it, then send it. A file/stdin path would be safer and more consistent with other commands that already support file-backed content.

Research direction
Start at the Go implementation of the im +messages-send command and inspect how its --content argument is handled for interactive messages. Support a file or stdin input path, validate the resulting raw JSON, and confirm that the interactive card is sent without shell-quoting workarounds.
