SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Important decisions, constraints, and discussion history live scattered across Slack channels, making it hard to recover organizational context when planning or brainstorming. This Skill searches Slack and returns a synthesized research digest instead of raw message lists. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interpreted Research Digest: Dispatches a research agent that runs Slack searches, reads threads, and produces findings organized by topic with source channels and dates. - Cross-Cutting Analysis: Surfaces patterns across findings and includes a research-value assessment (high / moderate / low / none) with justification. - Flexible Query Input: Accepts keywords, natural language questions, channel hints like in:#channel, and date filters like after:YYYY-MM-DD. - Use Case: Before planning a pricing change, ask what the team discussed about free trials and receive a digest of relevant decisions and debates across channels. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search Slack for what the team discussed about the free trial and summarize the organizational context.

Frequently Asked Questions about ce-slack-research

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search Slack for past team discussions about a topic?▼

Invoke the skill with a topic or natural language question, such as a keyword or phrase like free trial. The agent formulates Slack searches, reads relevant threads, and returns a synthesized digest organized by topic with source channels and dates.

Can I filter Slack search by channel or date?▼

Yes, the input supports Slack search modifiers such as in:#channel to scope to a specific channel and after:YYYY-MM-DD to limit results by date. The agent extracts the topic and applies these filters when formulating searches.

What is the difference between slack research and finding individual messages?▼

This skill returns an interpreted digest with cross-cutting analysis and a research-value assessment rather than raw message lists. It differs from slack:find-discussions, which returns individual message results without synthesis.

What happens if Slack is not connected or authentication expired?▼

If the Slack MCP is not connected or authentication has expired, the agent reports that Slack is unavailable and the message is relayed to you. The skill does not attempt alternative research methods in that case.

What does the Slack research digest include?▼

The digest includes the workspace identifier, a research-value assessment rated high, moderate, low, or none with justification, findings organized by topic with source channels and dates, and cross-cutting analysis surfacing patterns across findings.
