Searches Slack message history and retrieves channel conversations using the Slack Web API.
This skill empowers Claude to interact with the Slack Web API to find past conversations, fetch channel history, and resolve channel IDs. It provides robust patterns for using search.messages and conversations.history endpoints while emphasizing security by using temporary configuration files to prevent token exposure in terminal history. Ideal for developers and teams who need to pull context from Slack discussions directly into their Claude Code workflow, it covers everything from initial bot setup to handling complex API pagination and date-based filtering.
