Slack Agent

Handles Slack bot development with opinionated patterns for both Chat SDK and Bolt for JavaScript frameworks. Includes a wizard that walks you through project setup, Slack app configuration, local testing with ngrok, and Vercel deployment. The quality standards are strict: every code change requires immediate linting, TypeScript checks, and unit tests before you can move on. It detects your framework automatically and shows the right patterns, whether you're using Chat SDK's JSX components or Bolt's Block Kit JSON. The archetype system generates custom implementation plans based on what kind of agent you're building, which is useful if you don't want to start from a blank template.

Slack Agent Development Skill

This skill builds Slack agents with eve — Vercel's filesystem-first framework for durable backend agents — using Vercel Connect for Slack credentials:

eve (eve package) — agent runtime, tools, channels, durability
@vercel/connect — brokered short-lived Slack tokens; no bot tokens or signing secrets to manage
