How do I find a past decision with Slack?
Add the Slack MCP connector once, then paste this prompt into Claude or ChatGPT: "Search #engineering for where we decided on the authentication library". Your AI runs it in Slack.
Do I need to code?
No. You install the connector once (a short config or one click), then ask in plain words. The prompt on this page works as-is.
Which AI assistants work?
Claude (Desktop, Code), Cursor, ChatGPT and other MCP clients. The same prompt works across them.
