What the skill teaches

A skill from Slack's official plugin that guides an agent in finding messages, files, channels and people in a Slack workspace with the Slack MCP server's search tools, covering public-only and public-plus-private search. It covers a broad-then-narrow strategy, when to use natural-language versus keyword search, running several searches, search modifiers for channel, user, content and date filters, file-type filters, and reading hits in their surrounding context. Slack's docs say it needs the Slack MCP server connection, which the plugin sets up in Claude Code and Cursor after OAuth sign-in.

Capabilities

  • Search Slack messages, files, channels and users
  • Use in:, from: and date search modifiers
  • Filter search results by file type
  • Read search hits in their thread context
