Kollab

Kollab is built for the part after the prompt.

An AI tool gives a decent answer. Then the real work begins: turn it into a GitHub issue, check Notion for context, ask for a deck, produce the assets, update the team in Slack or Telegram, and keep the follow-up alive next week. Kollab gives teams one shared workspace where agents can read context, use tools, create files, run skills, schedule work, and report results back into the channels where people already work.

This npm package is the official Kollab CLI. It is both a command line for humans and a clean automation surface for agent runtimes, internal scripts, and CI jobs.

Start Here

| Destination | Why it matters | | --- | --- | | kollab.im | Product home, sign-up, and sign-in. | | Product overview | Workspace, agents, skills, connectors, bots, and memory. | | Use cases | Real workflows you can run or adapt for your team. | | Blog | Product notes, workflow essays, AI agent comparisons, and practical guides. | | Changelog | What shipped, when, and why it changed. | | Download | Desktop app entry point. | | GitHub Issues | Public feedback, bugs, feature requests, and product discussion. |

Install

npm install -g kollab

You can also run it one-off:

npx kollab --help

Login

kollab login

The CLI opens a browser flow against Kollab auth and stores credentials locally. You can sign out with:

kollab logout

By default, login uses https://kollab.im. Use kollab login --api-url <site> or KOLLAB_API_URL only when you intentionally target test or alpha.

What You Can Do

kollab space list
kollab project list --space <space-id>
kollab task ask --project <project-id> -m "Turn the latest customer feedback into a prioritized issue list"
kollab artifact list --conversation <conversation-id>
kollab artifact get-content --id <artifact-id>
kollab artifact get-content --id <artifact-id> --json
kollab artifact update-content --id <artifact-id> --file note.md --expected-version <content-version>
kollab mcp list
kollab bot list

For read-modify-write flows, use the version from get-content --json. Do not update when its data.truncated flag is true; HTTP 409 means re-read and reconcile another collaborator's newer content.

kollab --help shows the whole command tree. Every subcommand has its own --help.

Use Cases Worth Opening

Kollab is easiest to understand through concrete work:

| Use case | What it shows | | --- | --- | | Automated content pipeline | Turn research and notes into repeatable publishing workflows. | | Create GitHub issues from chat | Convert messy product feedback into actionable engineering issues. | | Track thought leaders | Monitor signals and summarize what matters for the team. | | Barbell reading: daily paper radar | Keep up with research without rebuilding the same reading routine. | | Generate a slide deck with AI | Move from prompt to structured visual deliverable. | | Generate a campaign asset pack | Produce coordinated copy, images, and launch materials in one workspace. |

Bots

The CLI manages Bots on every supported platform. Use kollab bot --help for the full command tree.

# List bots, optionally filtered by platform
kollab bot list
kollab bot list --platform weixin

# Create a bot (platform-specific requirements vary; see below)
kollab bot create --name "My Bot" --platform feishu --app-id <id> --app-secret <secret>

# WeChat ClawBot: no appId/appSecret at create time; credentials arrive via QR scan
kollab bot create --name "WeChat Bot" --platform weixin

# Enable / disable / delete
kollab bot toggle --id <bot-id> --enabled true
kollab bot delete --id <bot-id>

WeChat ClawBot (platform: weixin)

WeChat ClawBot connects a Kollab Bot to a WeChat account via Tencent's iLink Bot API. Each WeChat user who DMs the bound account gets their own Kollab conversation.

Bind flow:

# Step 1 — create the bot (no credentials required at creation)
kollab bot create --name "WeChat Bot" --platform weixin
# → returns { uuid: "<bot-id>", ... }

# Step 2 — start login session and print the QR URL
kollab bot weixin-login <bot-id>
# Prints a URL to stderr. Open it in a browser or pass it to the agent
# to show the user as an image/link so they can scan with WeChat.

# Step 2 (agent-runtime variant) — start without waiting; agent polls separately
kollab bot weixin-login <bot-id> --no-wait
# Prints { ok: true, data: { status: "login_started", qrcodeUrl: "..." } } then exits.

# If WeChat shows a pairing number (need_verifycode):
kollab bot weixin-login <bot-id> --verify-code <number>
# Submits the code and resumes polling.

Status flow:

| Status | Meaning | Action | | --- | --- | --- | | wait | QR not yet scanned | Keep polling | | scaned | Phone scanned; verifying | Keep polling | | need_verifycode | WeChat shows a pairing number | Re-run with --verify-code <number> | | confirmed | Bound successfully | Done — bot is live | | expired | QR expired | Re-run weixin-login | | verify_code_blocked | Too many wrong codes | Re-run weixin-login | | token_invalid | Tencent revoked the token | Re-run weixin-login |

v1 limits:

DM-only (no WeChat group support in v1).
Inbound: text messages and voice (auto-transcribed by WeChat server).
Outbound: text only (no media or files in v1).
Multiple WeChat users can DM one bot; each user gets their own Kollab conversation.
Token invalidation (e.g. after device change) requires re-scanning the QR.

Feedback From The CLI

This public repository is Kollab's feedback front door: KollabTeam/Kollab.

The CLI can search, report, and comment on issues directly:

kollab feedback search -q "pdf export blank page" --state all
kollab feedback report -m "PDF export produces a blank first page when the deck has a cover image."
kollab feedback comment --issue 123 -m "Hit this too, conversation attached."

The flow we recommend is always search first, then report or comment. It keeps the tracker clean and gets you to existing fixes faster.

Issue contents are public on GitHub, so review your message before submitting. Server-side redaction is a safety net, not a substitute for that check.
