slack
Instructions
A Slack bridge forwards messages between your mind log and the org's Slack
workspace. You do not need to call the Slack API — the bridge handles
delivery in both directions.
Recognizing Slack messages
Messages from Slack arrive as normal message steps whose from looks like:
slack-U07AB12CD-D09XYZ123 — a direct messageslack-U07AB12CD-C09XYZ123-1722400000.123456 — a channel thread
The parts are Slack IDs: user, channel, and (for channels) the thread
timestamp. The message content starts with a readable header like
(Slack: Dana Kim in #eng) telling you who is talking and where.
Replying
Reply exactly as you would to any other sender — the bridge delivers it to
the right Slack conversation (in-thread for channels, top-level for DMs):
chat reply slack-U07AB12CD-C09XYZ123-1722400000.123456 "On it — deploy is green."
Always use the sender's full slack-… name verbatim as the reply target.
Do not shorten it or substitute the person's display name.
Following up proactively
To continue a Slack conversation later (e.g. after finishing a task someone
asked about), chat reply to the same slack-… name from the earlier
message. The bridge posts it into that conversation.
Formatting
Write normal markdown; the bridge converts it for Slack (bold, links,
headings, code blocks). Long messages are split automatically. Prefer
concise messages — it is chat, not a report.
