SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Catching up on Slack after time away means scrolling through hundreds of unread messages across channels, DMs, and threads, making it easy to miss urgent requests or key decisions. This Skill scans your Slack workspace via the Slack MCP server, prioritizes what needs your attention, and produces a structured digest with action items. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Prioritized Message Triage: Categorizes messages into high priority (mentions, DMs, urgent requests), medium priority (discussions needing input), and FYI (announcements, bot messages). - Action Item Extraction: Converts requests and questions into markdown checkboxes with context, deadlines, and Slack deep links. - Decision Tracking: Identifies and documents key decisions made in channels, including who confirmed them and why. - Use Case: After a day of meetings, run the review to get a single report showing 3 urgent DMs needing replies, 5 discussions awaiting your input, and 2 decisions your team finalized, each linked directly to the original Slack message. ## Quick Start Review my Slack messages from the last 24 hours and give me a prioritized report of action items and key decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions about slack-reviewer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I catch up on unread Slack messages quickly?▼

Use the Slack MCP server to scan DMs, mentions, and channels from the last 24 hours, then categorize messages by priority. The review generates a markdown report with action items as checkboxes and deep links to each original message.

How to extract action items from Slack conversations?▼

Scan high and medium priority messages for specific requests, questions, and deadlines, then format each as a markdown checkbox with the requester, context, and Slack link. Messages containing words like urgent, blocker, or direct questions are flagged first.

Does this Slack integration send or reply to messages?▼

No, the integration is strictly read-only. It never responds to messages, marks them as read, adds reactions, or joins and leaves channels, so your Slack state remains untouched during review.

What happens when Slack MCP authentication fails?▼

The skill reports that Slack API authentication is required and checks whether the MCP client is approved in workspace settings. If rate limited, it waits the suggested retry period or processes messages in smaller batches.

Can I limit which Slack channels get scanned?▼

Yes, channel filtering is configured through includeChannels and excludeChannels lists in the .config.json file. You can also narrow the time window, scan mentions only, or prioritize DMs from specific people.
