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`
