What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the frustration of waiting for unresponsive Slack bots during long-running tasks, and ensures bot replies match the tone and formatting of a human teammate rather than raw, unstructured text.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Live Progress Streaming: Post real-time checkpoints to a plan block in the Slack thread during long tasks like incident post-mortems or code reviews, so users always know the agent's current status.
- Structured Reply Formatting: Send final answers as plain text or rich Block Kit layouts (with sections, citations, carousels of options) for clear, scannable responses.
- Full Slack Workflow Support: Handle file uploads, thread replies, reactions, message editing/deletion, workspace search, and cross-posting to other channels as needed.
Use this Skill when a teammate @mentions the bot in a Slack thread, when responding to a thread the bot owns, or when asked to perform any Slack-related task.
Quick Start
Use the kortix-slack skill to respond to a Slack mention by posting live progress checkpoints as you work and sending a final formatted reply to the thread.
