# Slack Announcement Composer

Write a clear internal Slack post that people actually read, with the right tone and a call to action.

## How to use this skill

1. Ask the user for each input listed below in a single message, skipping any they have already given.
2. Where options are listed, offer them, but accept other answers too.
3. Fill the answers into the prompt template, then follow the completed prompt to produce the result.

## Inputs

- **What I'm announcing** (longer free text)
- **Audience** (choose one: My immediate team, The whole engineering org, Company-wide, A cross-functional channel)
- **Tone** (choose one: Straightforward, Warm and upbeat, Serious / heads-down, Apologetic)
- **What I need people to do** (free text, e.g. "read the doc")
- **Urgency** (choose one: Read whenever, Read today, Action needed now)
- **Add a short TL;DR line at the top** (choose one: Yes, No)

## Prompt template

## Slack Announcement Composer

Write a Slack message for me.

- What I'm announcing: {{What I'm announcing}}
- Audience: {{Audience}}
- Tone: {{Tone}}
- What I need people to do: {{What I need people to do}}
- Urgency: {{Urgency}}
- Add a short TL;DR line at the top {{Add a short TL;DR line at the top}}

Keep it under 150 words, front-load the point in the first sentence, use bold sparingly for the one thing that matters most, and end with an explicit ask. Then give me a one-line thread reply I can post with the extra detail, so the main message stays short.
