Web search, content extraction, and product image discovery via real browser. Searches with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Brave (auto-fallback). Extracts page content as markdown including image URLs. Handles SPAs, anti-bot detection, and logged-in sessions. Requires one-time browser setup.
Analyze past session files to find recurring AI agent issues and fix them via AGENTS.md updates, new skills, or code/infra changes. Use when asked to improve agent workflow, find recurring problems, optimize AGENTS.md, create skills from session patterns, or understand what went wrong across sessions.
Use tmux instead of bash tool to run commands that take more than ~30 seconds, like bulk operations, db migrations, dev servers.
Manage Linear issues: Create issues, update issues, search issues. Best when combined with GitHub CLI

slack.py is a self-contained Python script (no dependencies beyond
the standard library) at {baseDir}/slack.py.
Requires browser tokens from a Slack session.
*.slack.com (e.g. api/client.boot)pbpaste | python3 {baseDir}/slack.py auth
# or paste directly:
python3 {baseDir}/slack.py auth <<'CURL'
curl 'https://WORKSPACE.slack.com/api/...' -H '...' -b '...' --data-raw '...'
CURL
Credentials are stored at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/skills/slack-latest/credentials.json
(typically ~/.config/skills/slack-latest/credentials.json).
Token lifetime: Browser tokens (xoxc/xoxd) expire when you log
out or when Slack rotates the session. If commands start failing with
auth errors, re-run the setup.
To verify credentials work:
python3 {baseDir}/slack.py auth-test
Scans all conversations (channels, DMs, group DMs) and collects human messages from the last N days, with thread replies expanded inline.
python3 {baseDir}/slack.py gather --days 3 --out ~/tmp/slack-recent.json
Output: JSON array grouped by channel (most recently active first).
Indented by default; use --compact for single-line JSON.
