Does this skill handle Slack interactive components?

Yes, it provides specific implementation patterns for handling button clicks and modal submissions via interaction callbacks.

How do I prevent my Slack bot from responding to itself?

The skill includes logic to check the BotID in message events, allowing you to filter out and ignore messages sent by the bot itself to prevent infinite loops.

Does it support Slack Slash commands?

Absolutely. There are dedicated sections for handling slash command invocations and returning appropriate message responses.

When should I use Socket Mode vs. the Events API?

Use Socket Mode for development, testing, or when your app is behind a firewall without a public HTTPS endpoint. Use the Events API for production cloud deployments where you prefer a webhook-based architecture.

Collaboration Tools

Implements real-time event handling for Slack bots and applications using Socket Mode and the Events API.

About

This skill provides comprehensive implementation patterns for building interactive Slack applications using the slack-go-sdk. It guides developers through setting up both Socket Mode—ideal for local development and environments behind firewalls—and the Events API for production-ready webhook architectures. The skill covers essential event-driven functionality including message processing, app mentions, reactions, slash commands, and interactive UI components like modals and buttons, while emphasizing best practices like event acknowledgement and graceful connection management.
