About This Skill
What it does
This skill enables AI agents to automate Slack workflows and integrate with tools using either the Chat SDK or Bolt for JavaScript frameworks. It provides a guided wizard to help users set up, configure, test, and deploy Slack agents, adapting its guidance based on the project's current state and chosen framework. The skill automatically detects the existing project type (new, partially configured, or fully developed) and guides the user through appropriate setup phases.
When to use it
- Creating a new Slack agent from scratch.
- Migrating an existing Bolt for JavaScript project to a Vercel Labs-managed agent.
- Configuring environment variables and credentials for a Slack app.
- Setting up local development and testing environments with ngrok tunneling.
- Deploying a Slack agent to production using Vercel.
Key capabilities
- Framework Detection: Automatically identifies whether the project uses Chat SDK or Bolt for JavaScript.
- Guided Wizard: Provides step-by-step instructions through six phases: project setup, plan approval, Slack app customization, environment configuration, local testing, and production deployment.
- Project State Auto-Detection: Determines the current state of a project (new, configured, tested, deployed) to provide relevant guidance.
- Custom Implementation Plan Generation: Creates a tailored implementation plan based on user requirements and agent archetypes.
- Support for Two Frameworks: Offers compatibility with both Chat SDK (recommended for new projects) and Bolt for JavaScript (for existing Bolt projects).
Example prompts
/slack-agent- Starts the setup wizard, automatically detecting project state./slack-agent new- Initiates the project setup phase from scratch./slack-agent configure- Advances to Phase 2 of the wizard for existing projects.
Tips & gotchas
- For new projects, carefully read and follow the instructions in
./wizard/1-project-setup.md. - The skill requires a choice between Chat SDK and Bolt for JavaScript frameworks; Chat SDK is recommended for new projects.
- Always approve the generated implementation plan (Phase 1b) before proceeding with project scaffolding.
