About ce-slack-research

ce-slack-research is a skill that searches Slack for organizational context and returns an interpreted research digest. It accepts keywords, natural-language questions, and Slack search modifiers, then delegates searching and synthesis to ce-slack-researcher.

Key features

  1. 01Accepts topics and natural-language questions
  2. 02Supports Slack channel and date filters
  3. 03Delegates search and synthesis to an agent
  4. 04Returns findings with channels and dates
  5. 05Includes workspace and research-value assessment

Use cases

  1. 01Research recent discussion of a topic
  2. 02Find context in a specified Slack channel
  3. 03Review organizational findings across Slack

MCP support

It delegates Slack MCP discovery and search execution to ce-slack-researcher. If Slack MCP is unavailable or authentication has expired, it relays that status rather than using alternative research methods.

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

$npx skills add https://github.com/everyinc/compound-engineering-plugin --skill ce-slack-research

After installing, type/ce-slack-researchin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.

Details

From the project README

/ce-slack-research

Search Slack for organizational context and receive an interpreted research digest.

Usage

/ce-slack-research [topic or question]
/ce-slack-research

Examples

/ce-slack-research free trial
/ce-slack-research What did we say about free trial recently?
/ce-slack-research free trial in #proj-reverse-trial
/ce-slack-research onboarding flow after:2026-03-01

The input can be a keyword, a natural language question, or include Slack search modifiers like channel hints (in:#channel) and date filters (after:YYYY-MM-DD). The agent extracts the topic and formulates searches from whatever form the input takes.

Execution

If no argument is provided, ask what topic to research. Use the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini, ask_user in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension). Fall back to asking in plain text only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question.

Dispatch ce-slack-researcher with the user's topic as the task prompt. Omit the mode parameter so the user's configured permission settings apply.

The agent handles everything from here -- Slack MCP discovery, search execution, thread reads, and synthesis. It returns a digest with:

  • Workspace identifier so the user can verify the correct Slack instance was searched
  • Research-value assessment (high / moderate / low / none) with justification
  • Findings organized by topic with source channels and dates
  • Cross-cutting analysis surfacing patterns across findings

If the agent reports that Slack is unavailable (MCP not connected or auth expired), relay the message to the user. Do not attempt alternative research methods.
