💡 Usage Examples

Progress Summary & Block Kit Report:

Human: Summarize the progress from the last 3 days in the "engineering" channel, write a Block Kit report, and send it to "manager"

□ Use search_messages to find recent updates in #engineering channel
□ Use get_thread_replies to get detailed context from important discussions
□ Use get_user_profile to get manager's user ID
□ Use post_message_blocks to create and send a structured Block Kit report

Thread Analysis & Response Guidance:

Human: Summarize thread "1754405258.272689" and tell me how I should respond

AI Assistant: I'll analyze this thread and provide response guidance:
□ Use get_thread_replies to retrieve all messages in the thread
□ Review participants, timeline, and key discussion points
□ Analyze conversation context and sentiment
□ Provide summary and suggest appropriate response options

Topic Discovery & Information Synthesis:

Human: Find where people are discussing "deployment issues" and provide a comprehensive summary

AI Assistant: I'll search and synthesize deployment discussions across your workspace:
