Excerpt

Slack Notifications Setup (Sentinel)

Sentinel pings the user on Slack when a colony stalls and lets them reply from Slack to keep it going. It needs a Slack app with two tokens:

a Bot User OAuth Token (xoxb-…) — stored under credential id slack, used to send alerts and call the Slack API.
an App-Level Token (xapp-…) with connections:write — stored under credential id slack_app, used by Socket Mode to receive the user's reply.

You do the whole thing end to end: reuse-or-create the app, read the tokens, store them with the sentinel_setup tool (the same API the desktop connector uses), create/select the channel via the Slack API, and turn Sentinel on — without making the user paste anything.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
