# Open WebUI API Skill

Complete API integration for Open WebUI - a unified interface for LLMs including Ollama, OpenAI, and other providers.

## When to Use

**Activate this skill when the user wants to:**
- List available models from their Open WebUI instance
- Send chat completions to models through Open WebUI
- Upload files for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
- Manage knowledge collections and add files to them
- Use Ollama proxy endpoints (generate, embed, pull models)
- Generate images or process audio through Open WebUI
- Check Ollama status or manage models (load, unload, delete)
- Create or manage pipelines

**Do NOT activate for:**
- Installing or configuring Open WebUI server itself (use system admin skills)
- General questions about what Open WebUI is (use general knowledge)
- Troubleshooting Open WebUI server issues (use troubleshooting guides)
- Local file operations unrelated to Open WebUI API

## Prerequisites

### Environment Variables (Recommended)

```bash
export OPENWEBUI_URL="http://localhost:3000"  # Your Open WebUI instance URL
export OPENWEBUI_TOKEN="your-api-key-here"    # From Settings > Account in Open WebUI
```

### Authentication

- Bearer Token authentication required
- Token obtained from Open WebUI: **Settings > Account**
- Alternative: JWT token for advanced use cases

## Activation Triggers

**Example requests that SHOULD activate this skill:**

1. "List all models available in my Open WebUI"
2. "Send a chat completion to llama3.2 via Open WebUI with prompt 'Explain quantum computing'"
3. "Upload /path/to/document.pdf to Open WebUI knowledge base"
4. "Create a new knowledge collection called 'Research Papers' in Open WebUI"
5. "Generate an embedding for 'Open WebUI is great' using the nomic-embed-text model"
6. "Pull the llama3.2 model through Open WebUI Ollama proxy"
7. "Get Ollama status from my Open WebUI instance"
8. "Chat with gpt-4 using my Open WebUI with RAG enabled on collection 'docs'"
9. "Generate an image using Open WebUI with prompt 'A futuristic city'"
10. "Delete the old-model from Open WebUI Ollama"

**Example requests that should NOT activate this skill:**

1. "How do I install Open WebUI?" (Installation/Admin)
2. "What is Open WebUI?" (General knowledge)
3. "Configure the Open WebUI environment variables" (Server config)
4. "Troubleshoot why Open WebUI won't start" (Server troubleshooting)
5. "Compare Open WebUI to other UIs" (General comparison)

## Workflow

### 1. Configuration Check

- Verify `OPENWEBUI_URL` and `OPENWEBUI_TOKEN` are set
- Validate URL format (http/https)
- Test connection with GET /api/models or /ollama/api/tags

### 2. Operation Execution

Use the CLI tool or direct API calls:

```bash
# Using the CLI tool (recommended)
python3 scripts/openwebui-cli.py --help
python3 scripts/openwebui-cli.py models list
python3 scripts/openwebui-cli.py chat --model llama3.2 --message "Hello"

# Using curl (alternative)
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OPENWEBUI_TOKEN" \
  "$OPENWEBUI_URL/api/models"
```

### 3. Response Handling

- HTTP 200: Success - parse and present JSON
- HTTP 401: Authentication failed - check token
- HTTP 404: Endpoint/model not found
- HTTP 422: Validation error - check request parameters
