description	Ping Kento on Slack (DM) when a task is fully ready / complete. Use when the user says "ping me on slack when ready/done", "slack me when this finishes", or asks to be notified on Slack after a long-running task, build, or review completes.

Ping Me on Slack

Send a Slack DM to Kento when work is fully ready — task complete, build green, PR mergeable, review done. This is the "I'm finished, come look" signal.

Target

Field	Value	Notes
Channel ID	D02HB6U23N0	Kento's DM (Slackbot/self DM). IDs starting with D are direct messages.

Precondition

• Slack MCP (mcp__claude_ai_Slack__*) must be authenticated. If a call fails with an auth error, run mcp__claude_ai_Slack__authenticate first, then retry.

When to fire

Only ping when the work is genuinely done and verified — not at the start, not mid-progress. "Fully ready" means:

• The requested task is complete, AND
• Any checks the user cares about pass (tests/build/lint), AND
• There is nothing left blocking the user from taking the next step.

If the task ended in failure or is blocked, still ping — but say so clearly so the user knows it needs attention rather than expecting success.

Steps

1. Compose a short status line

One line, scannable on a phone lock screen. Lead with a status glyph:

• ✅ — done and verified
• ⚠️ — done but with caveats / needs a look
• ❌ — failed or blocked, needs attention

Include the concrete result, not just "done":

• ✅ release-ping skill created — tests 12/12 green, ready to merge
• ⚠️ migration applied — 1 row skipped, check logs
• ❌ build failed — TS error in src/index.ts:42

2. Send the DM

mcp__claude_ai_Slack__slack_send_message(
  channel_id: "D02HB6U23N0",
  message: "<status line>"
)

3. Confirm

Report back the message_ts so the user knows it landed, and so a follow-up can be threaded with thread_ts if needed.

Notes

• Keep it to one line. This is a notification, not a report — the detail lives in the chat session the user is returning to.
• Do not ask for confirmation before sending. When this skill is invoked the user has already opted in to being pinged; sending silently is the point.
• If the user asked to be pinged "when ready" at the start of a long task, hold the ping until the work is actually complete — then fire it.
