Slack Messaging Best Practices This skill provides guidance for composing well-formatted, effective Slack messages. When to Use Apply this skill whenever composing, drafting, or helping the user write a Slack message, including when using slacksendmessage, slacksendmessagedraft, or slackschedulemessage. The formatting rules below cover these message tools. slackcreatecanvas uses a different, richer markdown dialect — see the Canvas note below. Formatting The message tools (slacksendmessage, slacksendmessagedraft, slackschedulemessage) accept standard markdown and convert it to Slack formatting on send. Write normal markdown. Do not use Slack's legacy mrkdwn syntax (bold, strike); those single-character forms mean something different in standard markdown. Each text element is limited to 5000 characters.
