Slack Channel Summarization

Formatting Rules

• For a concise Slack or chat summary, you MUST use exactly this structure unless the user explicitly requests a different format.
• If you use ../slack-outgoing-message/SKILL.md to draft or send the final message, this output contract remains binding. The downstream skill does not relax or rename these sections.

**Channel Summary - <channel>**
**Overview**
<1-2 sentence summary>

**Topic: <topic 1>**
- ...
- ...

**Topic: <topic 2>**
- ...
- ...

**Notes**
- <gaps, caveats, or sparse activity>

• Group the summary into 2–4 topics when possible.
• Keep each topic to 1–5 bullets.
• Use the overview to explain what the channel was focused on overall.
• Start each bullet with the main update. Add an owner or next step only when it is clear from the channel.
• Within each topic, capture decisions, action items, notable updates, and thread outcomes.
• Note if a thread is still open or unresolved instead of implying it concluded.
• Omit Notes when there are no caveats, gaps, or sparse-activity disclaimers to add.
• For a canvas, expand each topic into a short section and use slack_create_canvas. Do this only when the user explicitly asked for a canvas, doc, or Slack-hosted summary.
