Slack Platform Documentation

Help the developer find the right page on the official Slack documentation site (https://docs.slack.dev) and read it as clean markdown, so answers come from the live docs rather than memory. The site exposes three machine-readable surfaces an agent can use directly, with no authentication and no Slack workspace:

  • A search API method: GET https://docs.slack.dev/api/v1/search?query=<q>&category=<c> returns ranked page hits as JSON. Scope every search with a category (guides, reference, a specific SDK, etc.); an uncategorized search skews heavily toward SDK pages.
  • Per-page markdown: every page is available at its URL + .md (e.g. /quickstart.md).
  • Index files: /llms.txt (a curated overview) and /llms-sitemap.md (a list of every markdown page).

If $0 is provided, it is either a docs.slack.dev URL (jump to the Fast Path) or a topic to search (start at Step 1). For a broad "how do I build X on Slack?" question rather than one specific page, read https://docs.slack.dev/llms.txt first; it is a curated, LLM-oriented overview of the platform and the recommended build path.

Critical rules:

  • The docs are the source of truth. Do not answer a factual question about the Slack platform from memory; discover the page, fetch it, then answer from what it says.
  • Prefer the .md version of any page over the HTML version. It is cleaner for reading and quoting.
