Version 4.5.0 of the developer tools for the Slack platform has landed!
- The Slack CLI now recommends the official Slack plugin to Claude Code users.
- We've reduced the verbose output when using
create --appto link an existing app during project creation. - We've added a
--categoryflag toslack docs searchcommand. - When the CLI errors because a prompt must be shown while in a non-TTY environment (AI agents, devops scripts, etc.), the error message now displays the prompt and, for app and team selection, the matching flags to select an option.
- We've fixed a recurring
unable_to_parse_jsonerror caused by empty JSON files (credentials, config, or app state) left behind by an interrupted write; the CLI now treats them as empty state and recovers automatically.
The text above is Slack's. reef added the severity, the dates it could read from the text, and the endpoints and scopes named in code.
