| 1 | +# Slack Adapter Implementation Plan |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking. |
| 4 | +
|
| 5 | +**Goal:** Add a first-party Slack platform package with Socket Mode, thread-first conversation handling, Block Kit backend/model selection, slash commands, Slack markdown formatting, and core Slack platform registration. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +**Architecture:** Build a dedicated `packages/slack` package that mirrors the existing Discord/Feishu package split: config/bootstrap, runtime/event routing, adapter, conversation helpers, cards, formatting, and focused tests. Keep core changes small and explicit by registering Slack as a relay platform, extending persistence/path helpers for Slack state, and only extracting Feishu run-gating logic when the shared boundary is transport-agnostic. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, pnpm workspaces, Vitest, `@slack/bolt`, Block Kit, existing `@agent-im-relay/core` |
| 10 | + |

| 13 | +## Chunk 1: Core Slack platform plumbing |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### Task 1: Make core recognize Slack conversations and scoped Slack state |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +**Files:** |
| 18 | +- Modify: `packages/core/src/relay-platform.ts` |
| 19 | +- Modify: `packages/core/src/paths.ts` |
| 20 | +- Modify: `packages/core/src/__tests__/persist.test.ts` |
| 21 | +- Modify: `packages/core/src/__tests__/config.test.ts` or add a new focused test file if path helpers need direct coverage |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing core tests** |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +Add tests that prove: |
| 26 | +- `relayPlatforms` includes `slack` |
| 27 | +- Slack conversation ids are inferable without colliding with legacy Discord numeric ids or Feishu ids |
| 28 | +- Slack-scoped state loads/saves preserve other platform state in the shared `sessions.json` |
| 29 | +- Slack helper paths resolve to sibling files/directories under the existing relay state directory |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +- [ ] **Step 2: Run the targeted core tests to verify they fail** |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +Run: `pnpm vitest run packages/core/src/__tests__/persist.test.ts packages/core/src/__tests__/config.test.ts` |
| 34 | +Expected: FAIL because Slack is not yet a known relay platform and no Slack-specific path helper exists. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +- [ ] **Step 3: Write the minimal core implementation** |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Implement the smallest possible core changes: |
| 39 | +- add `'slack'` to `relayPlatforms` |
| 40 | +- teach `inferRelayPlatformFromConversationId()` to recognize the Slack conversation id format chosen for the new adapter |
| 41 | +- add any Slack-specific path helper needed for package-local persistence files |
| 42 | +- preserve scoped save/load behavior in `persist.ts` so Slack state coexists with Discord and Feishu state |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +- [ ] **Step 4: Run the targeted core tests to verify they pass** |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Run: `pnpm vitest run packages/core/src/__tests__/persist.test.ts packages/core/src/__tests__/config.test.ts` |
| 47 | +Expected: PASS |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the core plumbing slice** |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +```bash |
| 52 | +git add packages/core/src/relay-platform.ts packages/core/src/paths.ts packages/core/src/__tests__/persist.test.ts packages/core/src/__tests__/config.test.ts |
| 53 | +git commit -m "feat(core): register slack relay platform" |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +## Chunk 2: Scaffold the Slack package and its pure helpers |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Task 2: Add package bootstrap, config parsing, formatting, and Block Kit builders |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +**Files:** |
| 61 | +- Create: `packages/slack/package.json` |
| 62 | +- Create: `packages/slack/tsconfig.json` |

| 70 | +- Create: `packages/slack/src/__tests__/cards.test.ts` |
| 71 | +- Create: `packages/slack/src/__tests__/formatting.test.ts` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing Slack helper tests** |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Cover these behaviors first: |
| 76 | +- config parsing for bot token, app token, signing secret, and Socket Mode defaults |
| 77 | +- Slack-local state-file helper paths |
| 78 | +- backend/model Block Kit payload shape |
| 79 | +- Markdown -> Slack `mrkdwn` conversion for headings, links, code fences, lists, and table fallback |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +- [ ] **Step 2: Run the helper tests to verify they fail** |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Run: `pnpm vitest run packages/slack/src/__tests__/config.test.ts packages/slack/src/__tests__/cards.test.ts packages/slack/src/__tests__/formatting.test.ts` |
| 84 | +Expected: FAIL because `packages/slack` does not exist yet. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +- [ ] **Step 3: Write the minimal Slack package and helper implementation** |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +Create the new package using the same build/test conventions as `packages/discord` and `packages/feishu`: |
| 89 | +- package metadata and workspace dependency on `@agent-im-relay/core` |
| 90 | +- `@slack/bolt` as the runtime dependency for Socket Mode, slash commands, actions, and events |
| 91 | +- config helpers that layer Slack env vars over core config |
| 92 | +- pure Block Kit builders for backend/model selection and status/control messages |
| 93 | +- a conservative Markdown formatter that outputs readable Slack `mrkdwn` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +- [ ] **Step 4: Run the helper tests to verify they pass** |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Run: `pnpm vitest run packages/slack/src/__tests__/config.test.ts packages/slack/src/__tests__/cards.test.ts packages/slack/src/__tests__/formatting.test.ts` |
| 98 | +Expected: PASS |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +- [ ] **Step 5: Commit the Slack helper slice** |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +```bash |

| 117 | +- Modify: `packages/slack/src/index.ts` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing adapter and conversation tests** |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +Add tests for: |
| 122 | +- `MessageSender.send()` / `edit()` targeting a Slack thread with optional `blocks` |
| 123 | +- `ConversationManager.createConversation()` always creating a new thread for `/code` and `/ask` |
| 124 | +- `ConversationManager.getConversationId()` resolving only mapped active conversation threads |
| 125 | +- `StatusIndicator` updating visible thread status state |
| 126 | +- `InteractiveUI` waiting on Block Kit selection state without accepting unrelated actions |
| 127 | +- message filtering rules: slash commands global, ordinary messages only in mapped conversation threads, bot-authored messages ignored |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +- [ ] **Step 2: Run the targeted adapter tests to verify they fail** |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +Run: `pnpm vitest run packages/slack/src/__tests__/adapter.test.ts packages/slack/src/__tests__/conversation.test.ts` |
| 132 | +Expected: FAIL because the adapter, conversation mapper, and Slack state store are not implemented. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +- [ ] **Step 3: Write the minimal adapter implementation** |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +Implement: |
| 137 | +- a Slack conversation id format based on the created thread root timestamp, with enough side-state to recover channel id and root message ts |
| 138 | +- a small persisted Slack state store for thread mappings, pending UI state, and any card message ids needed for in-place updates |
| 139 | +- adapter implementations for `MessageSender`, `ConversationManager`, `StatusIndicator`, `InteractiveUI`, and `MarkdownFormatter` |
| 140 | +- exports from `packages/slack/src/index.ts` that match the package conventions used elsewhere |
| 141 | + |
| 142 | +- [ ] **Step 4: Run the targeted adapter tests to verify they pass** |
| 143 | + |

| 170 | +- Modify: `packages/core/src/index.ts` if new core helpers are extracted for shared run gating |
| 171 | +- Modify: `packages/feishu/src/runtime.ts` and related tests only if a clearly shared helper is extracted and Feishu behavior is preserved |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing runtime and command tests** |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +Cover: |
| 176 | +- Socket Mode slash-command ack + async thread creation |
| 177 | +- `/code` and `/ask` always creating a fresh thread, even when invoked from an existing thread |
| 178 | +- `/interrupt`, `/done`, and `/skill` operating only on mapped conversations |
| 179 | +- backend/model gate behavior with a single pending run per conversation |
| 180 | +- model-selection timeout resuming the pending run when a safe default exists |
| 181 | +- in-place Block Kit card updates after backend/model choice |
| 182 | +- ordinary thread replies resuming the mapped conversation |

| 185 | + |
| 186 | +Run: `pnpm vitest run packages/slack/src/__tests__/runtime.test.ts packages/slack/src/__tests__/commands.test.ts` |
| 187 | +Expected: FAIL because the Slack runtime, command dispatch, and pending-run flow are not implemented. |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +- [ ] **Step 3: Write the minimal runtime implementation** |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +Build the runtime around `@slack/bolt` Socket Mode primitives: |
| 192 | +- bootstrap a Bolt `App` configured for Socket Mode |
| 193 | +- register slash commands, event listeners, and action handlers |
| 194 | +- create a new Slack thread for `/code` and `/ask`, persist the mapping, then dispatch the run through core |
| 195 | +- enforce the message filter rules for ordinary Slack messages |
| 196 | +- reuse Feishu-style pending-run/model-selection semantics where the code can be shared cleanly; otherwise mirror the behavior locally with identical tests |
| 197 | +- clean up pending runs, timers, and visible card state on `/interrupt` and `/done` |
| 198 | + |
