Slack CLI
A CLI for reading Slack content - messages, threads, channels, and users.
Installation
If slack-cli is not on PATH, install it:
brew install --cask lox/tap/slack-cli
Or: go install github.com/lox/slack-cli@latest
See https://github.com/lox/slack-cli for setup instructions (Slack app creation and OAuth).
Available Commands
slack-cli view <url> # View any Slack URL (message, thread, or channel)
slack-cli search <query> # Search messages
slack-cli channel list # List channels you're a member of
slack-cli channel read # Read recent messages from a channel name, ID, or URL
slack-cli channel info # Show channel information by name, ID, or URL
slack-cli thread read # Read a thread by URL or channel+timestamp (supports --markdown)
slack-cli user list # List users in the workspace
slack-cli user info # Show user information
slack-cli auth login # Authenticate with Slack via OAuth

Search for messages
slack-cli search "from:@username keyword"
slack-cli search "in:#channel-name keyword"
Read a channel
slack-cli channel read #general --limit 50
slack-cli channel read "https://workspace.slack.com/archives/C123" --markdown

- Use
--markdownwithview,thread read, orchannel readwhen you need structured output - Thread URLs with
thread_tsparameter are automatically detected - Channel names can include or omit the
#prefix - If you see
channel_not_foundand multiple workspaces are configured, retry with--workspace <workspace> - User lookup accepts both user IDs (U123ABC) and email addresses

Use when work should span one or more detached tasks but still behave like one job with a single owner context. TaskFlow is the durable flow substrate under authoring layers like Lobster, ACPX, plugins, or plain code. Keep conditional logic in the caller; use TaskFlow for flow identity, child-task linkage, waiting state, revision-checked mutations, and user-facing emergence.
