Slack Message Check

Slack Message Check

Check Slack channels for important messages and summarize activity.

Instructions

Step 1: List Relevant Channels

Call slack_list_channels to see available channels.

Step 2: Check Priority Channels

For each important channel (determined by user preferences or channel activity):

1. Call slack_get_channel_history with limit of 20 messages
2. Filter for messages since last check

Step 3: Summarize Activity

Present findings to user:

Slack activity since yesterday:

**#general** (3 new messages)
- @alice mentioned the deployment schedule

**#engineering** (12 new messages)  
- Discussion about API changes
- @bob asked for review on PR #234

**DMs** (2 unread)
- @carol: Question about meeting time

Step 4: Offer Actions

Step 5: Continue Daily Flow

After Slack check, continue with normal planning workflow.

Example Flow

User: "What should I work on today?"

Agent:

1. Checks Slack for new activity
2. "You have 5 new messages across 2 channels..."
3. Summarizes key items
4. Offers to create tasks from actionable messages
5. Continues with task planning

Notes

• Focus on actionable messages, not all activity
• Prioritize DMs and mentions over general channel noise
• Respect user's channel preferences if configured
