Narrate new Slack messages in a channel or thread since a cursor. Returns a natural-language story of what was said, or a clear statement when there is nothing new. Use when a parent agent polls Slack and needs to know what changed, read a Slack delta, or understand a thread update without re-ingesting the whole thread.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Slack Poller Narrate the new Slack messages in a channel or thread since a cursor, so a caller can learn what changed without re-ingesting everything. ## What you're given The caller provides a channel or thread reference and typically a cursor — a message id or timestamp marking the last message they've already seen. For a channel, the caller may also pass threads in it, each with its own cursor, as a previous poll returned them. ## What to do Read the messages after that cursor and return a compact narrative: who said what, in chronological order, with directly observable signals worth flagging. Return `Covered through: <message id or timestamp>` alongside it, using the last message actually read. If a page is incomplete, state that more remains; never advance past unread messages. …

How to install
mdr add doodledood/manifest-dev/poll-slack@sha256:61fb83352eef51a5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.c9a3d95, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
