description	Reads recent Slack messages to compile an accurate project status report and saves it as a draft for review before sending to a client. Use when: preparing a client-facing update, reconciling conflicting or revised numbers from multiple sources, or drafting a message that requires human review before sending.

Slack Status Drafter Skill

Read recent Slack messages, reconcile the latest figures, and save a polished client-ready status report as a draft — never send directly.

Tools

All tools are defined in tmp_workspace/utils.py:

• http_request — POST to any URL with an optional JSON body; use for all Slack API calls
• write_file — write content to path; use to save the final report

Slack API

Base URL: http://localhost:9110

Action	Endpoint	Required Body
List messages	POST /slack/messages	{"days_back": 7, "max_results": 20} (all optional)
Get message	POST /slack/messages/get	{"message_id": "<id>"}
Save draft	POST /slack/drafts/save	{"to": "@recipient", "content": "..."} + optional "reply_to_message_id"

⚠️ Draft-only task. Always use slack_save_draft — do not call slack_send_message (POST /slack/send). The user must review before anything goes to the client.

Workflow

1. List messages — fetch recent messages with slack_list_messages
2. Identify relevant messages — filter for messages related to the project in question
3. Read each in full — retrieve complete content via slack_get_message
4. Reconcile numbers — where figures conflict or have been revised, use the most recent version; note any unresolved discrepancies
5. Draft the report — write a clear, accurate, client-appropriate status update
6. Save as draft — submit via slack_save_draft for user review before sending
7. Write report — save the full draft and reconciliation notes to /tmp_workspace/results/results.md
