What it does

Slack Announce is an agent skill from WellApp-ai/Well. Generate formatted Slack messages for team communication

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Slack and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: No more Sundays on Finance. We build the infrastructure that retrieves, processes, and routes your financial and business data to your FinOps stack, so founders can ship, not… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/slack-announce”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Message Type
  2. Gather Context
  3. Select Emoji
  4. Generate Fun Closing
  5. Format Message
  6. Send via Slack MCP

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c740217. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Slack Announce loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Slack Announce Skill

Generate copy-ready Slack messages for various team announcements.

When to Use

  • Push PR mode: announce new PR
  • Hotfix mode: urgent fix notification
  • Deploy notifications
  • Incident communication

Phases

Phase 1: Determine Message Type

Identify the type of announcement:

TypeContextPriority
prNew PR createdNormal
hotfixUrgent production fixHigh
deployDeployment to environmentNormal
incidentProduction issueCritical
Phase 2: Gather Context

Collect required information based on type:

For PR:

  • Feature name (from branch or PR title)
  • PR URL
  • Notion task URL
  • Reviewer name and handle
  • Domain name

For Hotfix:

  • Issue description
  • Affected systems
  • PR URL (if applicable)
  • Urgency level

For Deploy:

  • Version/tag
  • Environment (test/production)
  • Key changes summary
Phase 3: Select Emoji

By message type:

TypePrimary EmojiSecondary Emojis
pr (feat)🚀📋 🔗 👀
pr (fix)🔧📋 🔗 👀
pr (chore)🧹📋 🔗 👀
pr (docs)📚📋 🔗 👀
pr (refactor)♻️📋 🔗 👀
hotfix⚠️🔥 🚨
deploy✅🎉 📦
incident🚨⚠️ 🔴
Phase 4: Generate Fun Closing

Select a closing that matches the PR context. Be human, be fun, be relevant.

By PR Type

Features (feat):

- "Feature flag? Where we're going, we don't need feature flags 🚗"
- "Users asked, we delivered 📦"
- "Fresh code, hot off the keyboard! ⌨️🔥"
- "Time to make some bytes dance! 💃"
- "Let's gooooo! 🎸"

Fixes (fix):

- "Bug squashed. No insects were harmed 🐛✨"
- "It's not a bug, it was an undocumented feature 📝"
- "Another bug bites the dust 🎵"
- "Sleep well tonight, this one's fixed 😴"

Refactors (refactor):

- "Same same, but different, but still same 🔄"
- "If it ain't broke... refactor it anyway ♻️"
- "Deleting code is my love language 💕"
- "Less is more. Literally, we deleted stuff 🗑️"

Chores (chore):

- "The unglamorous work that makes the magic happen ✨"
- "Housekeeping complete, the codebase says thank you 🏠"
- "Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Ship! 🚢"
- "Another day, another deploy (hopefully) 🤞"

Docs (docs):

- "Future us will thank present us 📚"
- "Documentation: because tribal knowledge doesn't scale 🧠"
- "README? More like READ-ME-PLEASE 🙏"
By Domain (Contextual)

Cursor Rules / AI Workflow:

- "Teaching the AI new tricks! 🎓🤖"
- "The machines are learning... from us, for once 🧠"
- "The rules now have rules about rules 🤯"
- "25 skills walk into a codebase... 🚶♂️"
- "Now with 100% more patine (it's French, we're fancy) 🥐"

Tables / Data:

- "Rows and columns, living in harmony 📊"
- "Data goes in, insights come out 🔮"

Auth / Security:

- "Keeping the bad guys out since [current_year] 🔐"
- "Trust no one. Except this PR. Trust this PR 🤝"

Payments / Billing:

- "Making money moves 💰"
- "Cha-ching! 💵"
Generic (Fallback)
- "Shipping it before my coffee gets cold ☕"
- "May the code review gods be merciful 🙏"
- "Works on my machine™ 💻"
- "One small commit for dev, one giant leap for the product 🌙"
Hotfixes (Serious but Human)
- "On it! 🔥"
- "Fix incoming, hold tight! 🏃♂️"
- "Crisis averted. Coffee break earned ☕"
- "The bat-signal was answered 🦇"
Selection Logic
  1. First, try domain-specific closing if domain is detected
  2. Then, try type-specific closing based on commit type
  3. Fall back to generic if no match
  4. Rotate - don't repeat the same closing twice in a row
Phase 5: Format Message

PR Template:

[emoji] **[Feature Name]**

[Two-liner: what this does + why it matters]

📋 Notion: [notion-link]
🔗 PR: [github-pr-link]
👀 Reviewer: @[handle] (auto-assigned from [domain])

Hotfix Template:

⚠️ **HOTFIX: [Issue Title]**

🔴 **Impact:** [affected systems/users]

🔗 PR: [github-pr-link]

[Closing]

Deploy Template:

✅ **Deployed to [Environment]**

📦 Version: [tag/version]
📝 Changes:
- [bullet 1]
- [bullet 2]

🎉 Ship it!

Output
