## Summary [#summary]

The **Slack Agent** turns your agent into a Slack bot. It answers mentions and
direct messages, keeps each conversation scoped to its thread, and replies with
Slack formatting. Reach for it to put an assistant where your team already works —
an on-call helper, a docs bot, or a triage assistant.

        Install the following dependencies:
      </Step>

      ```bash
      npm install @dawn-ai/sdk
      ```

      <Step>
        Copy and paste the following agent route files into your project.
      </Step>

      <ComponentSource src="registry/langgraph/slack-agent/index.ts" title="index.ts" />

      <ComponentSource src="registry/langgraph/slack-agent/instructions.md" title="instructions.md" />

      <ComponentSource src="registry/langgraph/slack-agent/tools/post_message.ts" title="tools/post_message.ts" />

      <Step>
        Run `dawn check` after copying so route and tool metadata are regenerated.
        `dawn dev`, `dawn build`, and `dawn verify` also run the same discovery path.

## Customization [#customization]

* Edit `index.ts` to change the model, description, or system prompt.
* Add route-local tools under `tools/`; tool input and output types are inferred from TypeScript.
* Run `dawn verify` before deploying generated LangGraph artifacts.
