Automation / Agent Workflow

IMPORTANT — v0 create timeout handling: v0 create can take a long time to complete and may time out before returning output. If the command times out or the output is lost: - Do NOT rerun v0 create — the project may already have been created. - Run v0 list to check if the chat was created, then use its chatId to continue.

# 1. Create a site, capture chatId
output=$(v0 create "A portfolio site with dark theme" --no-open 2>&1)
chatId=$(echo "$output" | grep "Chat ID:" | awk '{print $NF}')

# If chatId is empty (timeout / lost output), check if it was already created:
# v0 list --limit 5
# Then extract the chatId manually from the list output.

# 2. Send refinement messages
v0 chat "$chatId" "Add a contact form section"
v0 chat "$chatId" "Make the layout responsive for mobile"

# 3. List all chats
v0 list --limit 10
