How does it handle message threading?

It follows Slack threading best practices, replying in-thread to keep channels clean and retrieving full thread replies for comprehensive context.

Can this skill handle Slack rate limits?

Yes, the skill includes logic to space out bulk operations and handle rate limit errors gracefully to ensure stable and reliable communication.

Does this support private channels and DMs?

Yes, it supports all channel types including private channels and DMs, provided the integration token has the necessary permissions to access them.

What is the difference between Bot and User tokens in this skill?

The skill accommodates both; Bot tokens (xoxb-) are used for automated actions, while User tokens (xoxp-) are often required for full workspace search capabilities.

Why does this skill prefer search over channel history?

Search is significantly more efficient for finding specific information across the entire workspace, whereas channel history is limited to viewing recent messages in one specific channel at a time.
