Execution (Pattern A: File Generation)

Step 1: Run the Skill and Get Run ID

  "sheet_name": "Q1 Data",

# RUN_ID is we-xxx format, use this for workflow commands

Step 2: Open Workflow in Browser and Wait for Completion

open "https://refly.ai/workflow/c-af86a8xmozt53tyhs77stl9y"
refly workflow status "$RUN_ID" --watch --interval 30000

Step 3: Download and Show Result

# Get files from this run
FILES=$(refly workflow toolcalls "$RUN_ID" --files --latest | jq -r '.payload.files[]')

# Download and open each file
echo "$FILES" | jq -c '.' | while read -r file; do
  FILE_ID=$(echo "$file" | jq -r '.fileId')
  FILE_NAME=$(echo "$file" | jq -r '.name')
  if [ -n "$FILE_ID" ] && [ "$FILE_ID" != "null" ]; then
    refly file download "$FILE_ID" -o "$HOME/Desktop/${FILE_NAME}"
    open "$HOME/Desktop/${FILE_NAME}"
  fi
