+# Base Lookup Field Configuration Guide
+
+## Mandatory Read Acknowledgement
+
+When creating or updating a lookup field with `lark-cli base +field-create/+field-update --json ...` and `type` is `lookup`, you should read this guide first and only then add `--i-have-read-guide` to the command.
+
+Do **not** proactively add `--i-have-read-guide` before reading this guide. Without it, the CLI will fail fast and direct you back to this guide.
+
+## Default strategy
+
+**Use Formula fields by default for cross-table references and aggregations.** Only use Lookup fields when the user explicitly requests a Lookup field. Formula is a strict superset of Lookup — anything Lookup can do, Formula can do with a single expression.
+
+## Usage
+
+When creating a lookup field, the Agent should:
+
+1. Get all table names: `lark-cli base +table-list --base-token <base>` — returns `items[].table_name`
+2. Get table structure: `lark-cli base +table-get --base-token <base> --table-id <table>` — returns `fields[]`
+3. If the lookup references other tables, also get those tables' structures
+4. Determine the four elements: from (source table), select (source field), where (filter), aggregate (aggregation)
+5. Construct the Lookup field JSON and submit it to create or update the field
+
+**Key constraints**:
+
+- Table names and field names must **exactly match** those returned by `+table-list` / `+table-get`
+- The `from` table must be in the same Base
+
+---
+
+## Section 1: Core Concepts — Four-Element Model
+
+A Lookup field is defined by five fields:
+
+| Field | Meaning | JSON key | Required |
+|-------|---------|----------|----------|
+| **type** | Must be `"lookup"` | `type` | Yes |
+| **from** | Source table to pull data from | `from` | Yes |
+| **select** | Field in the source table to retrieve | `select` | Yes |
+| **where** | Filter conditions on the source table | `where` | Yes (at least one condition) |
+| **aggregate** | How to aggregate multiple matching records | `aggregate` | No (default: `raw_value`) |
+
+**SQL analogy**:
+
+```
+SELECT  [select field]
+FROM    [from table]
+WHERE   [filter conditions]
+GROUP BY [aggregate function]
+```
+
+**Row-level matching (most important concept)**:
+
+A Lookup field is computed row-by-row — for each row in the current table, it filters the source table to find "related" records. **The filter defines what "related" means.**
+
+```
+Current table row 1 → filter source table → matching records → select field → aggregate → result
+Current table row 2 → filter source table → matching records → select field → aggregate → result
+...
+```
+
+**Rule: Whenever the current table and the source table have a row-level correspondence (matching by some field value), you must specify a filter.**
+
+---
+
+## Section 2: Lookup vs Link vs Formula
+
+Lookup and Link serve **different purposes**. Creating a Lookup does NOT require a Link field to exist first.
+
+| Dimension | Link | Lookup | Formula |
+|-----------|------|--------|---------|
+| Purpose | Establish record relationships (read-write) | Pull and aggregate data from another table (read-only) | Compute values from expressions (read-only) |
+| When to use | "link" / "associate" / "bind" two tables | "look up" / "reference" / "aggregate" / "count" from another table | Calculations, text manipulation, conditional logic |
+
+**Common mistake**: Creating a Link field just to create a Lookup. If two tables share a matching text/number field, Lookup can match directly — no Link required.
+
+**Selection decision tree**:
+
+```
+What does the user need?
+├─ "Link"/"associate"/"bind" records between tables → Link
+├─ "Look up"/"reference"/"aggregate"/"count" from another table → Lookup
+│   ├─ Needs aggregation (sum/count/average)? → Lookup + aggregate
+│   └─ Just reference a value? → Lookup (aggregate = null)
+├─ Calculations/text manipulation within current table → Formula
+└─ Access linked record's field → Prefer Lookup (more intuitive), or Formula chain access
+```
+
+---
+
+## Section 3: Filter Condition Rules
+
+**You must provide a `where` with at least one condition.** Improper conditions cause every row to pull all records from the source table.
+
+### The Iron Rule: field belongs to source table
+
+```
+filter condition:
+  field   → must be a field in the FROM table (source table)
+  value   → constant or reference to a field in the CURRENT table
+```
+
+### How to find the matching field pair
+
+**With a Link field (most common)**: The match is between the **Link field** and the **target table's primary field**.
+
+```
+Link is in the source table   → source.linkField matches current.primaryField
+Link is in the current table  → source.primaryField matches current.linkField
+```
+
+**Without a Link field**: Two tables share a field with the same meaning — match directly.
+
+### Where condition structure
+
+Each condition is a **tuple** (array) of 2 or 3 elements: `[field, operator, value?]`
+
+```json
+{
+  "logic": "and",
+  "conditions": [
+    ["<source table field>", "<operator>", { "type": "constant", "value": "<val>" }]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+For `empty` / `non_empty`, the value can be omitted (2-element tuple):
+
+```json
+["<source table field>", "empty"]
+```
+
+### Two value formats
+
+**Constant value** — for fixed conditions (e.g., "status is completed"):
+
+```json
+["状态", "==", { "type": "constant", "value": "已完成" }]
+```
+
+**Field reference** — for dynamic per-row matching (e.g., "match current row's project"):
+
+```json
+["项目名", "==", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "项目名" }]
+```
+
+**Decision guide**: Fixed condition (e.g., "status is completed") → `constant`. Dynamic condition (e.g., "match current record's project ID") → `field_ref`.
+
+### Constant value format by field type
+
+The `value` inside `{ "type": "constant", "value": ... }` varies by field type:
+
+| Field type | Constant value format | Example |
+|-----------|----------------------|---------|
+| Text / Phone / Email / Url | String | `"已完成"` |
+| Number / Currency / Progress / Rating | Number | `100`, `0.8` |
+| DateTime / CreatedTime / ModifiedTime | Duration tuple | `["ExactDate", "2025-01-01"]`, `["Today"]`, `["Yesterday"]`, `["Tomorrow"]` |
+| SingleSelect / MultiSelect | Option ID or ID array | `"opt_xxx"`, `["opt_xxx", "opt_yyy"]` |
+| Link (SingleLink / DuplexLink) | Record ID or ID array | `"rec_xxx"`, `["rec_xxx", "rec_yyy"]` |
+| User | User ID or ID array | `"123"`, `["123", "456"]` |
+| Checkbox | Boolean | `true`, `false` |
+| Attachment / Location | Only `empty` / `non_empty` | value must be `null` or omitted |
+| AutoNumber | Not supported for constant comparison | Use dynamic field\_ref instead |
+| Formula / Lookup (exact type) | Follow the underlying type rules | — |
+| Formula / Lookup (fuzzy type) | String | `"some text"` |
+
+**DateTime notes**:
+- Only `ExactDate`, `Today`, `Yesterday`, `Tomorrow` are supported as duration formats
+- `["ExactDate", "2025-01-01"]` means the exact moment `2025-01-01 00:00:00`, NOT the entire day
+- For complex or relative date filtering, consider using a Formula field instead
+
+### Dynamic field reference — set comparison semantics
+
+When using `{ "type": "field_ref", "field": "..." }`, values from both sides are first **converted to sets** at runtime, then compared using set operations:
+
+- **`==`**: Sets are exactly equal (strict matching)
+- **`intersects`**: Sets have a non-empty intersection (most commonly used)
+
+**Conversion rules by field type**:
+
+| Field type | Converted to |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Text / Phone / Email / Url | Single-element string set |
+| Number / Currency / AutoNumber / DateTime | Single-element number set |
+| SingleSelect / MultiSelect | Set of option name strings |
+| User | Set of user name strings |
+| Link (SingleLink / DuplexLink) | Set of linked records' primary field string representations |
+| Formula / Lookup | The computed value set |
+
+**Examples**:
+- User field `["name1", "name2"]` **intersects** text `"name1"` → true; **==** text `"name1"` → false (sets not equal)
+- User field `["name1"]` **==** text `"name1"` → true (single-element sets are equal)
+- Link field referencing records → converted to primary field strings, then compared
+
+### Supported operators
+
+| Operator | Meaning | Applicable types |
+|----------|---------|-----------------|
+| `==` | Equal (exact match) | All types |
+| `!=` | Not equal | All types |
+| `>` | Greater than | Number, DateTime |
+| `>=` | Greater than or equal | Number, DateTime |
+| `<` | Less than | Number, DateTime |
+| `<=` | Less than or equal | Number, DateTime |
+| `intersects` | Has intersection (non-empty overlap) | All types (most commonly used for dynamic field\_ref) |
+| `disjoint` | No intersection | All types |
+| `empty` | Field is empty | All types (value must be null or omitted) |
+| `non_empty` | Field is not empty | All types (value must be null or omitted) |
+
+### Constraints
+
+- **Only one level of and/or** — nesting (e.g., `{ and: [{ or: [...] }] }`) is not supported
+- **At least one condition** — empty conditions array will error
+
+---
+
+## Section 4: Aggregate Rules
+
+| Aggregate | Common user phrasing | Select field should be | Result type |
+|-----------|---------------------|----------------------|-------------|
+| `sum` | "total" / "sum" / "cumulative amount" | Numeric field (e.g., amount) | Number |
+| `average` | "average" / "mean" | Numeric field | Number |
+| `max` | "maximum" / "latest" / "most recent" | Numeric / DateTime field | Same as source |
+| `min` | "minimum" / "earliest" | Numeric / DateTime field | Same as source |
+| `counta` | "count" / "how many" / "total number" | Any field | Number |
+| `unique_counta` | "count distinct" / "how many different" | Field to deduplicate | Number |
+| `unique` | "list distinct" / "which ones" / "show different" | Field to display | List |
+| `raw_value` | "list all" / "show all values" (default) | Field to display | List |
+
+**Common confusion**: `unique` returns a **deduplicated list**, `unique_counta` returns a **count**. "Which categories are involved" → `unique`; "How many categories" → `unique_counta`.
+
+**Important**:
+- Enum values are **snake_case lowercase**: `sum` not `Sum`, `average` not `Average`
+- **Count is `counta`, NOT `count`** — this is the most common enum mistake
+
+---
+
+## Section 5: Hard Constraints
+
+1. **Always write a filter**: The `where` field is required with at least one condition. Whenever the current table and source table have row-level correspondence, the condition should express that relationship.
+2. **Lookup fields are read-only**: Cell values cannot be manually set.
+3. **Create Lookup after all dependent fields exist**: The source table and referenced fields must exist before creating the Lookup field.
+4. **Source table must be in the same Base**: Cross-Base lookups are not supported.
+5. **Changing `from` requires changing `select`**: Updating the source table without updating the select field will error.
+
+---
+
+## Section 6: Decision Trees
+
+### How to build the filter
+
+```
+Step 1: Analyze the filtering semantics in the user's request
+  "Count artworks per exhibition" → filter: belongs to exhibition = current exhibition
+  "Sum completed order amounts"   → filter: status = completed AND project = current project
+
+Step 2: Find the matching field pair
+  ├─ Tables have a Link relationship?
+  │   ├─ Link is in source table → source.linkField matches current.primaryField
+  │   └─ Link is in current table → source.primaryField matches current.linkField
+  ├─ Tables share same-meaning text/number field? → source.field matches current.field
+  └─ Also need constant filtering? → AND combination
+```
+
+### Which aggregate?
+
+```
+How to handle multiple matching records?
+├─ Show all values as-is → raw_value (default)
+├─ Show deduplicated list → unique
+├─ Sum → sum
+├─ Average → average
+├─ Maximum / minimum → max / min
+├─ Count records → counta
+└─ Count distinct → unique_counta
+```
+
+---
+
+## Section 7: Common Configuration Patterns
+
+> Patterns are categorized by **filter matching method**. Aggregate choice is independent — see Section 4.
+
+### Pattern 1: Aggregate from a linked table (Link is in the source table)
+
+**Scenario**: "Count artworks per exhibition", "Sum order amounts per project"
+
+When the source table has a Link pointing to the current table:
+
+```
+Exhibition table: ExhibitionName (primaryField)           ← current table
+Artwork table:    ArtworkName (primaryField),             ← source table (Link is here)
+                  Exhibition (Link → Exhibition table)
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "lookup",
+  "name": "Artwork Count",
+  "from": "Artwork table",
+  "select": "ArtworkName",
+  "aggregate": "counta",
+  "where": {
+    "logic": "and",
+    "conditions": [
+      ["Exhibition", "intersects", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "ExhibitionName" }]
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Reference a linked record's field (Link is in the current table)
+
+**Scenario**: "Show supplier's contact person", "Display warehouse manager"
+
+When the current table has a Link pointing to the source table:
+
+```
+Supplier table:  SupplierName (primaryField), Contact (Text)       ← source table
+Inventory table: ProductName (primaryField),                        ← current table (Link is here)
+                 Supplier (Link → Supplier table)
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "lookup",
+  "name": "Supplier Contact",
+  "from": "Supplier table",
+  "select": "Contact",
+  "where": {
+    "logic": "and",
+    "conditions": [
+      ["SupplierName", "intersects", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "Supplier" }]
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Match by same-meaning field (no Link)
+
+**Scenario**: "Sum order amounts per project" (tables share a "ProjectName" field but no Link)
+
+```
+Project table: ProjectName (primaryField)                          ← current table
+Order table:   OrderID (primaryField), ProjectName (Text),         ← source table
+               Amount (Number)
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "lookup",
+  "name": "Order Total",
+  "from": "Order table",
+  "select": "Amount",
+  "aggregate": "sum",
+  "where": {
+    "logic": "and",
+    "conditions": [
+      ["ProjectName", "==", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "ProjectName" }]
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Dynamic matching + constant filtering
+
+**Scenario**: "Only count completed orders", "Only sum approved budgets"
+
+Combine row-level matching with fixed-value filtering using `logic: "and"`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "lookup",
+  "name": "Completed Order Amount",
+  "from": "Order table",
+  "select": "Amount",
+  "aggregate": "sum",
+  "where": {
+    "logic": "and",
+    "conditions": [
+      ["Manager", "==", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "EmployeeName" }],
+      ["Status", "==", { "type": "constant", "value": "Completed" }]
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 5: Date filtering with constant value
+
+**Scenario**: "Look up orders created after 2025-01-01", "Sum today's sales"
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "lookup",
+  "name": "Recent Orders",
+  "from": "Order table",
+  "select": "Amount",
+  "aggregate": "sum",
+  "where": {
+    "logic": "and",
+    "conditions": [
+      ["ProjectName", "==", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "ProjectName" }],
+      ["CreatedDate", ">=", { "type": "constant", "value": ["ExactDate", "2025-01-01"] }]
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Section 8: Anti-Pattern Collection
+
+### Mistake 1: Omitting where (most common)
+
+```json
+// Wrong: no where, every row pulls all records
+{ "type": "lookup", "name": "Artwork Count", "from": "Artwork table", "select": "ArtworkName", "aggregate": "counta" }
+
+// Correct: where with Link relationship
+{ "type": "lookup", "name": "Artwork Count", "from": "Artwork table", "select": "ArtworkName", "aggregate": "counta",
+  "where": { "logic": "and", "conditions": [
+    ["Exhibition", "intersects", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "ExhibitionName" }]
+  ]}}
+```
+
+### Mistake 2: Wrong value type — confusing constant vs field_ref
+
+```json
+// Wrong: using constant for a dynamic join
+["ProjectName", "==", { "type": "constant", "value": "ProjectName" }]
+
+// Correct: use field_ref for dynamic per-row matching
+["ProjectName", "==", { "type": "field_ref", "field": "ProjectName" }]
+```
+
+### Mistake 3: Using `count` instead of `counta`
+
+```json
+// Wrong
+{ "aggregate": "count" }
+
+// Correct
+{ "aggregate": "counta" }
+```
+
+### Mistake 4: Wrong case for aggregate values
+
+```json
+// Wrong
+{ "aggregate": "SUM" }
+{ "aggregate": "Sum" }
+
+// Correct — snake_case lowercase
+{ "aggregate": "sum" }
+{ "aggregate": "average" }
+```
+
+### Mistake 5: Nested where conditions
+
+```json
+// Wrong: nesting not supported
+{ "logic": "and", "conditions": [
+  { "logic": "or", "conditions": [...] }
+]}
+
+// Correct: only one level
+{ "logic": "and", "conditions": [cond1, cond2, cond3] }
+```
+
+### Mistake 6: Confusing Lookup with Link
+
+The user says "aggregate order amounts" — use Lookup, not Link. Link establishes relationships; Lookup retrieves and aggregates data.
+
+### Mistake 7: Using object format instead of tuple for conditions
+
+```json
+// Wrong: object format
+{ "fieldRef": "Status", "operator": "is", "value": { "type": "constant", "value": "Done" } }
+
+// Correct: tuple format [field, operator, value?]
+["Status", "==", { "type": "constant", "value": "Done" }]
+```
+
+### Mistake 8: Missing `type` field
+
+```json
+// Wrong: no type field
+{ "name": "Total", "from": "Orders", "select": "Amount", "aggregate": "sum", "where": { ... } }
+
+// Correct: must include type
+{ "type": "lookup", "name": "Total", "from": "Orders", "select": "Amount", "aggregate": "sum", "where": { ... } }
+```
+
+---
+
+## Section 9: Constraint Summary
+
+- `type` must be `"lookup"` — this field is required in the request body
+- `where` is required with at least one condition — always specify a filter
+- Conditions use **tuple format**: `[field, operator, value?]` — NOT object format
+- Lookup fields are read-only — values cannot be manually set
+- Source table and referenced fields must exist before creating the Lookup
+- Condition field (first element of tuple) must reference a field in the source table, not the current table
+- Where supports only one level of and/or — no nesting
+- Aggregate values are snake_case lowercase: `sum`, `counta`, `unique_counta` (NOT `count`)
+- Operators: `==`, `!=`, `>`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`, `intersects`, `disjoint`, `empty`, `non_empty`
+- Table and field names must exactly match `+table-get` output
+- DateTime constant values use duration tuple format: `["ExactDate", "2025-01-01"]`, `["Today"]`, `["Yesterday"]`, `["Tomorrow"]`
+- Select/Link/User constant values use IDs, not display names
