slack

Journal: Slack

Post a journal entry to the #christian-ai-journal Slack channel — a personal blog-style feed for sharing interesting moments from working with Claude.

Invocation

The user triggers this with /journal:slack followed by a topic or description. If no topic is given, ask what they'd like to post about.

Steps

1. Understand the topic. Confirm your understanding. If vague, ask one clarifying question.

2. Draft the post. Write the full post following the format below and the voice guidelines in @references/voice.md. Show the complete draft to the user.

3. Get approval. Ask if they want to post as-is, edit, or discard.

4. Post to Slack. Use mcp__plugin_slack_slack__slack_send_message:

   • channel_name: christian-ai-journal
   • text: the approved post content

5. Confirm. Show the user that the post was sent successfully.

Post Format

Markdown

Use Slack mrkdwn, not GitHub-flavored markdown:

• Bold: *text*
• Italic: _text_
• Code: backticks
• Links: <url|text>

Structure

• First line: a brief, punchy title in bold (*Title*)
• Body: 3–8 short paragraphs separated by blank lines
• No headers — Slack is not a blog platform; respect the scroll

Length

Short. Say one thing well. If there are multiple stories, pick the best one.

Error Handling

• If the Slack MCP fails, show the error and ask the user how to proceed.
• Do not retry automatically.

Important

• Always show the draft before posting. Never auto-post.
• One post per invocation.
