Use this template for agents that respond to Slack events or provide always-on workspace automation.

​
Use Case

  • Team assistant bots.
  • Alert triage.
  • Scheduled updates.
  • Internal workflow automation.

​
Runtime Mode

Slack bots are usually daemon-style agents because they need to stay available for events. 
runtime:
  lifecycle: "daemon"

​
Required Configuration

You will typically need:
  • Slack app credentials.
  • Bot token or OAuth connection.
  • Event routing configuration.
  • A production daemon runtime.

​
Development Flow

charm init slack-agent --template slack-bot
cd slack-agent
charm validate .

​
Publishing Checklist

  • Slack credentials are not hardcoded.
  • Events are idempotent.
  • The bot handles missing permissions gracefully.
  • Daemon lifecycle is tested in staging before production.
