- ▌ Managing Dependencies · slackapiUse when adding, updating, pinning, or reviewing any dependency in this repo's requirements/*.txt files, including taking a Dependabot bump or writing a requirement line by hand. Also use when a pip install fails on the older Python jobs while newer ones pass, or when CI errors with "Could not find a version that satisfies", "No matching distribution found", "Requires-Python >=3.x", or "ResolutionImpossible". Triggers include: "add <package> to requirements", "bump/update <package>", "pin <package>", "fix this dependabot PR", "CI can't install <package> on Python 3.7/3.8/3.9", "requires-python error in the install step". This skill defines the layout and version-constraint conventions to follow; reach for it before hand-editing any requirements/*.txt file.
- ▌ Snyk · slackapiRun Snyk security scans to find dependency vulnerabilities and source code issues. Use for monthly security reviews or when checking for new vulnerabilities.
- ▌ Record Demo · slackapi bundleRecord terminal demos as GIFs using VHS tape files. Use when asked to record a demo, create a terminal recording, or generate a GIF of CLI usage.
- ▌ Block Kit · slackapi bundleUse when a developer wants to build or validate Block Kit layouts for Slack messages, modals, or Home tabs: message layouts, modals/forms/dialogs, Home tab interfaces, interactive buttons or menus, or modifying existing Block Kit JSON. Also trigger on any Slack UI component (sections, actions, inputs, headers, alerts, tables, carousels), the words "blocks" or "Block Kit Builder", a request to preview rendered blocks, or pasted JSON like "type": "section". Validates via the blocks.validate API method.
- ▌ Slack API · slackapiUse when a developer asks which Slack Web API method does something, needs a method's OAuth scopes or token type, wants to call or test a family.method endpoint (chat.postMessage, conversations.history, users.info, views.open), is handling cursor pagination (next_cursor) or rate limits (tier/ratelimited/Retry-After), or is debugging errors like missing_scope, invalid_auth, or channel_not_found. Also trigger on a pasted slack.com/api/ URL or docs.slack.dev/reference/methods link.
- ▌ Slack CLI · slackapiUse when a developer works with the Slack CLI (slack command) to create, run, or manage a Slack app from the terminal: logging in or authenticating (slack login), adding a team or switching workspaces, running locally (slack run), deploying, editing the app manifest, calling Web API methods (slack api), or searching Slack docs (slack docs search).
- ▌ Slack Docs · slackapiUse when answering a conceptual or how-to question about Slack platform features, or when asked to look up, fetch, or summarize a docs.slack.dev page, including a pasted docs.slack.dev link. Covers finding and reading official Slack docs as clean markdown.
- ▌ Slack Search · slackapiUse when locating messages, files, channels, or people across Slack, or gathering context before answering, with the search MCP tools (slack_search_public, slack_search_public_and_private, slack_search_channels, slack_search_users). Covers search modifiers (in:, from:, before:), file-type filters, natural-language vs. keyword search, and reading results in context.
- ▌ Test Slack App · slackapiUse when a developer wants to test, try out, smoke-test, verify, or confirm that a Slack app built with the Slack CLI (or a plain Bolt app) actually works, by running it in a developer sandbox or a Free Team, never a workspace with real users, with `slack run` and exercising its real slash commands, shortcuts, events, actions, modals, App Home, and assistant surfaces. Also covers `slack doctor` and `slack manifest validate` health checks before hands-on testing.
- ▌ Slack Messaging · slackapiUse when writing, drafting, scheduling, or improving a Slack message, announcement, or reply sent via the Slack MCP tools (slack_send_message, slack_send_message_draft, slack_schedule_message). Covers Slack markdown formatting, message structure, thread etiquette, reactions, and scheduling, and points to the right dialect for canvases and Block Kit.
- ▌ Create Slack App · slackapiUse when a developer wants to create, scaffold, or bootstrap a new Slack app or agent from scratch with the Slack CLI. Covers prerequisites, authentication, choosing a workspace to install into, and creating + running a project from a Bolt (JS or Python) template locally. Trigger on "create a Slack app", "new Bolt app", "start a Slack agent".
