The skill

The slack docs skill finds and reads official Slack platform documentation at docs.slack.dev as clean markdown, using the docs search API, per-page markdown and index files, for developers building on Slack.

Only when you ask.

The habit

Slack platform changes never surprise you.

↻ Runs by itselfevery Monday

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

every Monday. Runs in Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ every Monday
  • 0 9 * * 1

02

It checks its work

every claim cites source. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓every summary item cites a fetched Source URL
  • ✓no URL is used that the search API or sitemap did not return
  • ✓search request includes a category

03

It remembers

read changelog pages. The next run reads it first: changelog URLs already summarised.

loops/slack-changelog-watch-loop/log.md

One run, step by step.
Then it stops.

Stop ruleStops after one weekly summary, with at most 10 new pages fetched.

  1. 01

    Search the changelog

    Your agent calls the docs search API with category changelog.

  2. 02

    Skip known pages

    It drops URLs already in the log.

  3. 03

    Fetch as markdown

    It appends .md to each new page and fetches it, keeping the Source line.

  4. 04

    Fall back

    If search fails, it scans llms-sitemap.md instead of guessing URLs.

  5. 05

    Summarise impact

    It writes what changed and which tool, such as Bolt or the Slack CLI, is affected.

What it may do.
Nothing more.

Safe by defaultIt writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.

Is it for you?

Questions
