# Slack 搜尋

這個 skill 提供有效搜尋 Slack 來找訊息、檔案和資訊的指引。

## 何時使用

只要需要在 Slack 裡找資訊,就套用這個 skill,包括使用者要你找訊息、對話、檔案或人,或你需要先蒐集 Slack 裡的脈絡才能回答問題的時候。

## 搜尋工具總覽

| Tool | Use When |
|------|----------|
| `slack_search_public` | 只搜公開頻道。不需要使用者同意。 |
| `slack_search_public_and_private` | 搜所有頻道,包括私人頻道、私訊和群組私訊。需要使用者同意。 |
| `slack_search_channels` | 依名稱或描述找頻道。 |
| `slack_search_users` | 依姓名、email 或角色找人。 |

## 搜尋策略

### 先廣再窄

1. 從簡單的關鍵字或自然語言問題開始。
2. 結果太多,就加篩選條件(`in:`、`from:`、日期範圍)。
3. 結果太少,就拿掉篩選條件,改試同義詞或相關詞。

### 選對搜尋模式

- **自然語言問題**(例如「What is the deadline for project X?」):適合模糊、概念性的搜尋,你不知道確切關鍵字的時候。
- **關鍵字搜尋**(例如 `project X deadline`):適合找特定、精確的內容。

### 多搜幾次

不要只靠一次搜尋。把複雜的問題拆成幾個小搜尋:
- 先搜主題
- 再搜特定人員的發言
- 再搜特定頻道

## 搜尋修飾詞參考

### 位置篩選
- `in:channel-name` — 在特定頻道內搜尋
- `in:<#C123456>` — 用 ID 在頻道內搜尋
- `-in:channel-name` — 排除某個頻道
- `in:<@U123456>` — 搜尋和某位使用者的私訊

### 使用者篩選
- `from:<@U123456>` — 特定使用者(用 ID)發的訊息
- `from:username` — 某位使用者(用 Slack 使用者名稱)發的訊息
- `to:me` — 直接傳給你的訊息

### 內容篩選
- `is:thread` — 只找討論串內的訊息
- `has:pin` — 已釘選的訊息
- `has:link` — 含連結的訊息
- `has:file` — 含檔案附件的訊息
- `has::emoji:` — 有特定表情反應的訊息

### 日期篩選
- `before:YYYY-MM-DD` — 某日期之前的訊息
- `after:YYYY-MM-DD` — 某日期之後的訊息
- `on:YYYY-MM-DD` — 特定日期的訊息
- `during:month` — 特定月份的訊息(例如 `during:january`)

### 文字比對
- `"exact phrase"` — 比對精確片語
- `-word` — 排除含某個字的訊息
- `wild*` — 萬用字元比對(`*` 前面至少要 3 個字元)

## 檔案搜尋

搜尋檔案時,用 `content_types="files"` 參數加上類型篩選:
- `type:images` — 圖片檔
- `type:documents` — 文件檔
- `type:pdfs` — PDF 檔
- `type:spreadsheets` — 試算表檔
- `type:canvases` — Slack Canvases

範例:`content_types="files" type:pdfs budget after:2025-01-01`

## 追蹤搜尋結果

找到相關訊息之後:
- 用 `slack_read_thread` 取得任何討論串訊息的完整脈絡。
- 用 `slack_read_channel` 搭配 `oldest`/`latest` 時間戳,讀取前後的訊息來補脈絡。
- 結果裡出現使用者 ID 時,用 `slack_read_user_profile` 查那個人是誰。

## 常見陷阱

- **布林運算子沒用。** 不支援 `AND`、`OR`、`NOT`。用空格(隱含 AND)和 `-` 來排除。
- **括號沒用。** 不要想用 `()` 把搜尋詞分組。
- **搜尋不是即時的。** 最新的訊息(最近幾秒內)可能不會出現在搜尋結果裡。要看最新訊息就用 `slack_read_channel`。
- **私人頻道的存取。** 需要包含私人頻道時用 `slack_search_public_and_private`,但注意這需要使用者同意。

# Slack Search

This skill provides guidance for effectively searching Slack to find messages, files, and information.

## When to Use

Apply this skill whenever you need to find information in Slack — including when a user asks you to locate messages, conversations, files, or people, or when you need to gather context before answering a question about what's happening in Slack.

## Search Tools Overview

| Tool | Use When |
|------|----------|
| `slack_search_public` | Searching public channels only. Does not require user consent. |
| `slack_search_public_and_private` | Searching all channels including private, DMs, and group DMs. Requires user consent. |
| `slack_search_channels` | Finding channels by name or description. |
| `slack_search_users` | Finding people by name, email, or role. |

## Search Strategy

### Start Broad, Then Narrow

1. Begin with a simple keyword or natural language question.
2. If too many results, add filters (`in:`, `from:`, date ranges).
3. If too few results, remove filters and try synonyms or related terms.

### Choose the Right Search Mode

- **Natural language questions** (e.g., "What is the deadline for project X?") — Best for fuzzy, conceptual searches where you don't know exact keywords.
- **Keyword search** (e.g., `project X deadline`) — Best for finding specific, exact content.

### Use Multiple Searches

Don't rely on a single search. Break complex questions into smaller searches:
- Search for the topic first
- Then search for specific people's contributions
- Then search in specific channels

## Search Modifiers Reference

### Location Filters
- `in:channel-name` — Search within a specific channel
- `in:<#C123456>` — Search in channel by ID
- `-in:channel-name` — Exclude a channel
- `in:<@U123456>` — Search in DMs with a user

### User Filters
- `from:<@U123456>` — Messages from a specific user (by ID)
- `from:username` — Messages from a user (by Slack username)
- `to:me` — Messages sent directly to you

### Content Filters
- `is:thread` — Only threaded messages
- `has:pin` — Pinned messages
- `has:link` — Messages containing links
- `has:file` — Messages with file attachments
- `has::emoji:` — Messages with a specific reaction

### Date Filters
- `before:YYYY-MM-DD` — Messages before a date
- `after:YYYY-MM-DD` — Messages after a date
- `on:YYYY-MM-DD` — Messages on a specific date
- `during:month` — Messages during a specific month (e.g., `during:january`)

### Text Matching
- `"exact phrase"` — Match an exact phrase
- `-word` — Exclude messages containing a word
- `wild*` — Wildcard matching (minimum 3 characters before `*`)

## File Search

To search for files, use the `content_types="files"` parameter with type filters:
- `type:images` — Image files
- `type:documents` — Document files
- `type:pdfs` — PDF files
- `type:spreadsheets` — Spreadsheet files
- `type:canvases` — Slack Canvases

Example: `content_types="files" type:pdfs budget after:2025-01-01`

## Following Up on Results

After finding relevant messages:
- Use `slack_read_thread` to get the full thread context for any threaded message.
- Use `slack_read_channel` with `oldest`/`latest` timestamps to read surrounding messages for context.
- Use `slack_read_user_profile` to identify who a user is when their ID appears in results.

## Common Pitfalls

- **Boolean operators don't work.** `AND`, `OR`, `NOT` are not supported. Use spaces (implicit AND) and `-` for exclusion.
- **Parentheses don't work.** Don't try to group search terms with `()`.
- **Search is not real-time.** Very recent messages (last few seconds) may not appear in search results. Use `slack_read_channel` for the most recent messages.
- **Private channel access.** Use `slack_search_public_and_private` when you need to include private channels, but note this requires user consent.
