Search Slack for interpreted organizational context -- decisions, constraints, and discussion arcs that shape the current task. Produces a research digest with cross-cutting analysis and research-value assessment, not raw message lists. Use when searching Slack for context during planning, brainstorming, or any task where organizational knowledge matters. Trigger phrases: 'search slack for', 'what did we discuss about', 'slack context for', 'organizational context about', 'what does the team think about', 'any slack discussions on'. Differs from slack:find-discussions which returns individual message results without synthesis.

The input can be a keyword, a natural language question, or include Slack search modifiers like channel hints (in:#channel) and date filters (after:YYYY-MM-DD). The agent extracts the topic and formulates searches from whatever form the input takes.
If no argument is provided, ask what topic to research. Use the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini, ask_user in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension). Fall back to asking in plain text only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question.
Dispatch ce-slack-researcher with the user's topic as the task prompt. Omit the mode parameter so the user's configured permission settings apply.
The agent handles everything from here -- Slack MCP discovery, search execution, thread reads, and synthesis. It returns a digest with:
If the agent reports that Slack is unavailable (MCP not connected or auth expired), relay the message to the user. Do not attempt alternative research methods.
testing
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
testing
Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
data-ai
Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities. This skill should be used when the user is looking for functionality that might exist as an installable skill.
development
Run the full autonomous engineering pipeline end-to-end (plan, work, code review, test, commit, push, open PR, watch CI, fix CI failures until green). Use only when the user explicitly requests hands-off execution of a software task and provides a feature description; do not auto-route casual conversation here.
