Do I need any external tools for this skill to work?

Yes, this skill requires Python 3 with the beautifulsoup4 library installed, and Pandoc is required to perform the conversion from HTML to Markdown.

Can I search for specific Slack API methods?

Absolutely. You can use the search command with keywords or regex to find specific methods like 'chat.postMessage' or 'socket mode' within the sitemap.

Where are the fetched documentation files stored?

By default, pages are saved to your system's temporary directory, but you can specify a custom output path using the --out flag or pipe content to stdout.

Does it support the latest Slack updates?

Yes, you can use the --refresh flag with the search command to re-download the latest sitemap directly from Slack's developer portal to ensure you have the newest pages.
