SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Slack channels and messages pile up across teams, making it easy to miss important conversations, respond late, or duplicate effort. This skill streamlines interacting with Slack by enabling message sends, channel reads, searches, and reaction management directly from your session via a Slack MCP server or direct API, reducing context-switching and improving responsiveness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Message send: post messages to channels or DMs from within SwarmAI.
  • Read & summarize: fetch recent channel history and view unread counts to stay aligned.
  • Search & filter: search workspace messages to locate decisions, links, and action items.
  • Reactions & threads: add reactions and read threaded conversations to capture decisions.
  • Use Case: quickly ping the team in #dev Slack channel about deployment status or pull a summary of discussions from a channel.

Quick Start

Ask me to send a message to a channel, read recent history, or search messages, for example: 'send a message to #general: standup starts in 5 minutes'.
