Finds Slack user IDs quickly using an intelligent local cache and API fallback to facilitate DMs and mentions.
This skill optimizes Slack user lookups within the Claude Code environment by maintaining a high-performance local cache using jq. It allows developers to quickly find user IDs by username, real name, or display name without repetitive API calls, even in workspaces with over 50,000 members. By handling bulk caching and smart matching, it serves as a foundational tool for automating Slack-based workflows, such as sending direct messages or tagging team members during development tasks.
