Slack Connect
Entry point for all Slack operations. Validates configuration, discovers workspace, and routes requests to appropriate skills.
Trigger Phrases
Load this skill when user says:
- "slack" / "connect slack" / "slack connect"
- "send slack message" / "message [channel]"
- "list slack channels" / "slack channels"
- "search slack" / "find in slack"
- "slack users" / "who's on slack"
- Any reference to Slack operations
Quick Reference
First-time setup:
python 00-system/skills/slack/slack-master/scripts/setup_slack.py
Check configuration:
python 00-system/skills/slack/slack-master/scripts/check_slack_config.py --json
Workflow
Step 1: Validate Configuration
Always run first:
python 00-system/skills/slack/slack-master/scripts/check_slack_config.py --json
If ai_action is proceed_with_operation:
- Continue to Step 2
If ai_action is run_oauth_setup:
- Tell user: "Slack needs to be set up. Let me guide you through authorization."
- Run:
python 00-system/skills/slack/slack-master/scripts/setup_slack.py - After setup, re-check config
If ai_action is create_slack_app:
- Guide user through creating a Slack App
- Load:
slack-master/references/setup-guide.md - After app created, run setup wizard
Step 2: Identify User Intent
Parse what the user wants to do:
| User Says | Route To | |-----------|----------| | "send message to #general" | Messaging → send_message.py | | "list channels" | Channels → list_channels.py | | "get messages from #dev" | Channels → channel_history.py | | "search for 'project update'" | Search → search_messages.py | | "list users" | Users → list_users.py | | "upload file" | Files → upload_file.py | | "add reaction" | Reactions → (see Phase 7) | | "pin message" | Pins → (see Phase 9) | | "set reminder" | Reminders → (see Phase 10) |
Step 3: Execute Operation
Use the appropriate script from slack-master/scripts/:

Channel Resolution
When user references a channel by name (e.g., "#general"):
-
First, list channels to find the ID:
python list_channels.py --json -
Find matching channel in response
-
Use the channel ID (e.g., "C1234567890") for operations
Common Pattern:
# User says: "send message to #general"
# 1. List channels to find ID
# 2. Use ID in send_message.py --channel C123...
User Resolution
When user references someone by name (e.g., "@john"):
-
List users to find the ID:
python list_users.py --json -
Find matching user in response
-
Use the user ID (e.g., "U1234567890") for operations
Example Interactions
Send a Message
User: "Send 'Hello team!' to #general"
AI Actions:
- Check config:
check_slack_config.py --json - List channels:
list_channels.py --json - Find #general ID → C1234567890
- Send message:
send_message.py --channel C1234567890 --text "Hello team!" --json - Confirm to user: "Message sent to #general"
Search Slack
User: "Search slack for 'quarterly report'"
AI Actions:
- Check config
- Search:
search_messages.py --query "quarterly report" --json - Display results with channel names and snippets
List My Channels
User: "What slack channels am I in?"
AI Actions:
- Check config
- List:
list_channels.py --types "public_channel,private_channel" --json - Display channel names and member counts
Error Handling

| Error | Action | |-------|--------| | No token | Run setup_slack.py | | Invalid token | Re-authenticate | | Token revoked | Re-authenticate |
Operation Errors
| Error | Action | |-------|--------| | channel_not_found | List channels, help user find correct one | | missing_scope | Add scope to app, re-authorize | | rate_limited | Wait retry_after seconds, then retry | | not_in_channel | Join channel first |

beam-ai-team/numbers
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when communicating quantitative information in any form — Slack updates, emails, reports, decks, dashboards, landing pages, product UI, public talks. Covers two integrated layers: (1) making numbers semantically meaningful (translation, anchoring, simplification, story-pairing) and (2) showing numbers cleanly (chart vs table vs prose, chart-by-message, pre-attentive emphasis, color discipline, decluttering). Distilled and integrated from *Show Me the Numbers* (Stephen Few) and *Make Numbers Count* (Chip Heath & Karla Starr). Not for raw data analysis or statistics — this is about communication of numbers, not their derivation.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use when the user wants to design, redesign, shape, critique, audit, polish, clarify, distill, harden, optimize, adapt, animate, colorize, extract, or otherwise improve a frontend interface. Covers websites, landing pages, dashboards, product UI, app shells, components, forms, settings, onboarding, and empty states. Handles UX review, visual hierarchy, information architecture, cognitive load, accessibility, performance, responsive behavior, theming, anti-patterns, typography, fonts, spacing, layout, alignment, color, motion, micro-interactions, UX copy, error states, edge cases, i18n, and reusable design systems or tokens. Also use for bland designs that need to become bolder or more delightful, loud designs that should become quieter, live browser iteration on UI elements, or ambitious visual effects that should feel technically extraordinary. Not for backend-only or non-UI tasks.
