Slack Collaboration

Full Slack workspace orchestration for AI agents — messages, threads, channels, canvases, search, and scheduled posts with cross-MCP integration for incidents, deploys, and sales wins.

What this skill teaches

A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.

An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.

Orchestrate Slack workspace communication — send messages, manage threads, search conversations, create channels, share files, manage canvases, and schedule messages. Use when posting to Slack, searching message history, creating channels, sharing updates, drafting announcements, managing threads, uploading files, or…

Architecture

How Slack Collaboration guides an ADK-Rust agent.

The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.

01

User request

The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.

02

Slack Collaboration skill

Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.

03

ADK-Rust agent

Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.

04

mcp-slack

Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.

05

Verified result

The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.

Portable instructions: SKILL.md · Capability boundary: mcp-slack · Allowed tools: 19

Decision guide

How the agent turns a request into the right action.

These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.

01

"send", "post", "message", "notify", "announce"?

WORKFLOW 1: Send Message

02

"search", "find", "who said", "when did"?

WORKFLOW 2: Search & Find

03

"create channel", "new channel", "set up"?

WORKFLOW 3: Channel Management

04

"schedule", "draft", "send later"?

WORKFLOW 4: Scheduled Messages

05

"canvas", "document", "wiki"?

WORKFLOW 5: Canvas Management

06

"thread", "reply", "follow up"?

WORKFLOW 1b: Thread Reply

07

Unclear?

Ask: "Would you like me to send a message, search for something, or manage a channel?"

Proven workflows

Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.

A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.

011-2 calls

Send Message

Right channel, proper formatting, urgency signals

022-3 calls

Search & Find

Find messages with full thread context

034-5 calls

Channel Management

Create + configure + bookmark + welcome message

041-2 calls

Scheduled Messages

Future delivery with timezone awareness

051-2 calls

Canvas Management

Rich documents for wikis and status pages

Tool boundary

The skill may use 19 documented tools.

This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-slack retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules

What the agent should do.

  • Follow the decision guide, use the declared tool boundary, and verify the result before responding.

Operating boundaries

What the agent should avoid.

  • Review the complete SKILL.md before enabling this skill for production work.

Install and connect

Add the skill beside the capability it expects.

Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-slack, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.
