Dingtalk Bridge

DingTalk Bridge Skill

Bridges Claude Code with DingTalk group chat via the DingTalk Stream SDK + OpenAPI.

Capabilities

| Feature | Description | |---------|-------------| | Send Markdown | Send rich markdown messages to a DingTalk group | | Send Text | Send plain text messages | | Stream Bot | 24/7 listener: receive @mentions, execute via claude -p, reply with results | | Auto Conv Discovery | Conversation ID auto-saved on first @mention | | Keepalive | 20s WebSocket ping prevents DingTalk 30-min timeout | | Crash Recovery | Exponential backoff (5s to 60s) on disconnect |

Quick Start

1. Install

bash "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/scripts/install.sh"

The script will:

• Install Python dependencies (dingtalk_stream, websockets)
• Prompt for your DingTalk App Key & Secret (or read from env)
• Generate config.json
• Create data/ directory for conversation state
• Optionally create a macOS LaunchAgent for 24/7 operation

2. Configure

Set credentials via environment variables (recommended):

export DINGTALK_APP_KEY="your_app_key"
export DINGTALK_APP_SECRET="your_app_secret"
export DINGTALK_WORKDIR="/path/to/your/project"  # optional

Or edit config.json in the skill directory (see config.example.json).

3. Get Conversation ID

The bot needs a conversation ID to send messages. Two ways:

Auto (recommended): Start the Stream bot, then @mention it in a DingTalk group. The conv ID is saved automatically.

Manual: If you already have the openConversationId and robotCode:

mkdir -p "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/data"
echo '{"openConversationId":"YOUR_ID","robotCode":"YOUR_ROBOT_CODE"}' > "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/data/conv.json"

Commands

Send a message

# Markdown (default)
python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/src/send.py" "**Bold** message with markdown"

# With custom title
python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/src/send.py" --title "Alert" "Server is down!"

# Plain text
python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/src/send.py" --text "Plain text message"

Start the Stream Bot

python3 "$CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR/src/stream_bot.py"

The bot will:

1. Connect to DingTalk via Stream protocol
2. Listen for all @mentions in groups where the bot is added
3. Execute the message content via claude -p "" --continue
4. Reply with the result as a markdown message

Use as Python module

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/dingtalk-bridge/src")
from send import send_markdown, send_text

send_markdown("Daily Report", "**Sent:** 50\n**Opened:** 18\n**Clicked:** 7")
send_text("Simple notification")
