What problem does it solve? During an incident, responders need to gather context from Slack channels and keep stakeholders informed, but manually searching channels and writing updates slows down the response. This Skill automates reading incident channels, threads, and posting structured status updates through the Slack API. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Channel Discovery and Reading: List channels the bot can access, filter by name, read channel history, and expand thread replies to build incident context. - Status Update Posting: Post investigation updates, root cause summaries, and resolution notices to channels or threads using ready-made templates. - Bot-Token Workflow: Works within bot token permissions, replacing unavailable message search with a channel-scanning workflow. - Use Case: When an alert fires, list incident-related channels, read recent history and threads to understand prior discussion, then post a structured "Investigation Started" update in the incident thread. ## Quick Start Use the incident-comms skill to find recent discussion in our incident channels and post an investigation started update to the active incident thread.
