This skill compresses Slack conversation history into structured summaries and stores them with embeddings for semantic search. It reads SLACK_DB_URL, EMBEDDING_API_URL, EMBEDDING_API_KEY, and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY from the environment and makes external API calls; the README shows running the provided node scripts.

Slack Context Memory

Compress Slack conversation history into searchable summaries for context-efficient sessions.

Problem Solved

Clawdbot sessions lose context as conversation history grows. This skill:

  1. Detects conversation boundaries in Slack message history
  2. Generates structured summaries (TL;DR, decisions, topics, outcome)
  3. Stores summaries with embeddings for semantic search
  4. Compacts context - replace 1000s of messages with a few summaries
  5. Enables semantic retrieval - find relevant past discussions

Quick Start

# Setup database schema
cd /home/david/clawd/scripts/slack-context-memory
node setup-schema.js

# View compacted context for a channel
node context-compactor.js C0ABGHA7CBE

# Compare original vs compacted size
node context-compactor.js C0ABGHA7CBE --compare

# Search for relevant conversations
node context-compactor.js --query "email newsletter filtering"

Components

Conversation Detection

node detect-conversations.js <channel_id>
node detect-conversations.js --all

Context Compaction

node context-compactor.js <channel_id> --recent 20
node context-compactor.js <channel_id> --compare
node context-compactor.js --query "search term"

Search

node search-conversations.js semantic "query"
node search-conversations.js text "query"
node search-conversations.js recent --limit 10

Requirements

  • PostgreSQL database with pgvector
  • Node.js 18+
  • Slack message history in database

Database Schema

The conversation_summaries table stores:

  • tldr - 1-2 sentence summary
  • full_summary - Detailed summary
  • key_decisions - Array of decisions made
  • topics - Array of topics discussed
  • outcome - resolved/ongoing/needs-follow-up
  • embedding - Vector for semantic search (1024-dim)
