Skill instructions
Setup tips & tricks — Slack × CMA webhook bridge Things that aren't obvious from the docs and tend to cost debugging time. --- Mental model Two webhooks, one bridge - Slack → bridge (/slack/events) fires on @mention. Payload carries channel, ts, threadts, user, text. - Anthropic → bridge (/cma-webhook) fires on session idle. Payload carries only the CMA session ID. Neither carries the agent's output. Both are just signals with IDs. The webhook is a doorbell, not a delivery Anthropic's session.statusidled payload is deliberately thin — {type, id}. You follow up with sessions.retrieve(id) (metadata) and sessions.events.list(id) (output). Push the signal, pull the data. metadata is the entire routing state On kickoff, set metadata: {slackchannel, slackthreadts, slackteam}. When the idle webhook arrives later with only a session ID, retrieve the session, read those keys back, and chat.postMessage to exactly the right thread — with nothing stored in the bridge itself. This is what makes it
