modbender Slack Controller (Browser Edition)
This skill automates the Slack Web Client (app.slack.com) or Desktop App (via Debug Port) using a dedicated automation profile. This allows the agent to send messages, start huddles, share screen, and manage status acting as you.
Prerequisites
- Slack Desktop App (preferred) or Google Chrome installed.
- Permissions: Terminal/Cursor must have Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in macOS System Settings.
- Login: You must log in manually once in the automation window/profile if prompted.
