Before & after

Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.

Prompt“Give me a summary of what I missed on Slack today”

Beforegeneric AI agent

I can help summarize your messages. How many channels are you in, and which ones are the most important? Also, how long were you away — just a few hours or all day? And would you rather have everything, or just the stuff that needs a response? Let me know and I'll try to give you a quick summary of the main points.

CATCH-UP DIGEST (Today 9am-5pm)
Ranked by: Your relevance + action needed

🔴 NEEDS A REPLY NOW:
1. engineering channel | 11:30am
   Alice: 'We need your approval on the DB migration plan by EOD.'
   Context: 3-thread discussion, folks debating two approaches
   → Jump to thread: link
   Time to read: 2 min

2. product-team channel | 2:15pm
   Bob: '@You — customer asking if we support feature X yet. Quick yes/no?'
   Context: Customer on sales call, answer needed in 30 min
   → Reply: 'Not yet, ETA is Aug 15. Tell them we can do workaround Y now.'
   Time to read: 1 min

🟡 HEADS UP (FYI, no action needed):
3. announcements | 1:00pm
   CEO: Q3 results posted, all-hands moved to Thu
   Context: Doesn't require response
   → Jump to thread: link

4. finance-random | 3:45pm
   Team celebrated: New customer deal signed
   Context: Celebration thread, fun to skim

⬜ MUTED / ARCHIVE SUGGESTION:
→ deploy-bot: 47 messages (all status updates, no human replies)
→ random-gifs: 12 messages (can read later if bored)
→ office-admin: 5 messages (catering order, not urgent)

SUMMARY: 2 things need your input. Slack time to catch up: 5 minutes. The rest is FYI or noise.

About this skill

“What did I miss, and who is still waiting on me?” This skill turns Slack conversations into a short, source-linked catch-up, checking thread replies so answered questions and reversed decisions do not appear as fresh action items.

What it does

Finds unresolved questions, approvals, and commitments directed at you.
Reads thread context and later updates before calling something unanswered or decided.
Ranks active blockers and time-sensitive replies above routine updates.
Combines repeated announcements while preserving conflicting claims.
Separates confirmed decisions, proposals, and FYIs with direct source references.
Reports inaccessible channels, incomplete retrieval, and the exact catch-up window.

What you get

A concise digest with reply priorities, decisions that affect your work, and compressed awareness items. Each action includes its evidence, current status, and the smallest useful next step.

Best for

People returning from focus time, travel, leave, or an overloaded Slack inbox who need to rejoin conversations without rereading every message.

name: slack-catch-up-and-reply-priorities
description: Build a source-linked Slack catch-up by retrieving scoped conversations, checking thread resolutions, and ranking unresolved requests, blockers, and decisions by their consequence for the user. Use when the user says "catch me up on Slack", "what did I miss overnight?", "who is waiting on my reply?", "summarize these channels", "I came back to hundreds of unread messages", "my Slack catch-ups keep showing answered questions", or "what needs my attention after my time off?".
