Description
Problem
The slack-messaging SKILL.md instructs Claude to use *bold* (single asterisks / Slack mrkdwn) for bold text. However, the slack_send_message tool description states it accepts standard markdown (**bold**, _italic_, etc.) and converts it internally.
This conflict causes Claude to use *text* for bold, which the tool interprets as standard markdown italic — resulting in italic text instead of bold in Slack messages.
Steps to Reproduce
- Ask Claude to send a Slack message with bold text
- Claude follows SKILL.md and uses
*text* - The tool treats
*text*as standard markdown italic - Text appears italic in Slack, not bold
Expected Behavior
SKILL.md should align with the tool's actual behavior. Since the tool accepts standard markdown and converts it to Slack mrkdwn, SKILL.md should instruct:
- Bold:
**text**(double asterisks), not*text* - Numbered lists: keep numbers outside bold formatting (e.g.
1. **title**, not**1. title**) to avoid breaking list rendering
Suggested Fix
In skills/slack-messaging/SKILL.md:
- Change bold syntax from
*text*to**text** - Remove the "Do NOT use
**bold**" warning and replace with guidance to use**bold** - Add a note about keeping numbered list numbers outside of bold formatting
