What problem does it solve? Gathering relevant information from Slack is time-consuming because messages are scattered across channels, DMs, and threads. This Skill retrieves only the Slack information you specify—by channel, DM, thread URL, keyword, time range, or viewpoint—without pulling in irrelevant noise or performing downstream classification. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Scoped Retrieval: Fetches messages from explicit thread/message URLs first, then narrows by channel, DM, date range, keywords, ticket IDs, and people, with deduplication of cross-posts and repeated announcements. - Authentication & Connector Checks: Detects missing Slack tools, unconfigured plugins, and expired OAuth sessions, then returns clear next steps instead of guessing or fabricating data. - Structured Output: Returns a compact Markdown table with timestamp, source, speaker, summary, link, and retrieval reason, ready for downstream classification by other skills. - Use Case: Ask for all decision items and review requests mentioning you in a specific channel over the past week, and receive a deduplicated, linked summary table. ## Quick Start Use the fetch-slack-materials skill to collect all requests and decisions addressed to me from the #product channel during the last seven days.
