Slack Agent Skill — Communication skill for Claude Code

Slack Agent Skill

A skill for building and deploying Slack agents on Vercel with **[eve](https://eve.dev/docs)** (Vercel's durable agent framework) and **[Vercel Connect](https://vercel.com/kb/guide/vercel-connect)** (managed Slack credentials — no bot tokens or signing secrets to handle).

Features

• Interactive Setup Wizard: Step-by-step guidance from project creation to production deployment
• eve Framework: Filesystem-first agents — instructions.md, defineAgent, tools in agent/tools/, a Slack channel in agent/channels/ — with a durable, crash-safe runtime
• Vercel Connect Integration: Managed Slack OAuth, token rotation, and webhook verification; the only Slack env var is SLACK_CONNECTOR
• Custom Implementation Planning: Generates a tailored plan based on your agent's purpose before scaffolding
• Quality Standards: Embedded testing and code quality requirements
• AI Integration: Vercel AI Gateway (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 by default) — no AI API keys on Vercel
• Comprehensive Patterns: eve tools, approval gating, thread context, and Slack delivery patterns
• Testing Framework: Vitest configuration and sample tests
