Why do I need to use 'bash -c' for environment variables?

Due to a specific behavior in Claude Code, environment variables can be cleared when using pipes directly; wrapping the command in 'bash -c' ensures the SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL is correctly expanded.

Does this skill support Slack's Block Kit?

Yes, you can send complex, rich-layout messages by defining the 'blocks' field in your JSON payload.

Do I need a Slack Bot token to use this skill?

No, this skill uses Incoming Webhooks, which only require a Webhook URL rather than a full OAuth or Bot Token setup.

Can I send messages to multiple channels?

A single webhook URL is tied to one specific channel. To post to multiple channels, you would need a unique webhook URL for each one.

Can this skill read messages from Slack?

No, Incoming Webhooks are restricted to one-way outgoing communication. To read messages or interact with threads, a full Slack App with Bot permissions is required.
