Draft a Slack Reply

Search a channel for a topic, read the thread, and draft a response.

Arguments: <channel-name> <topic or thread context>

Process

1. Parse the arguments: first word is the channel name, rest is the topic
2. Search the channel using mcp__claude_ai_Slack_MCP__slack_search_public with the topic as query
3. Find the most relevant thread and read it using mcp__claude_ai_Slack_MCP__slack_read_thread
4. Search Jira and Confluence for related context:
   • Search Jira for the topic keywords using mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__searchJiraIssuesUsingJql
   • Search Confluence using mcp__claude_ai_Atlassian__search if the thread references design docs
5. Draft a response that is:
   • Direct and concise (match the style in CLAUDE.md: "Be direct. No fluff.")
   • Backed by data when available (link to tickets/docs)
   • Appropriate for a principal engineer (technical depth, clear recommendations)
6. Present the draft for review
