Slack CLI v3.13.0 improves developer experience with agentic app templates and better authentication
Agentic App Template Improvements
When running slack create agent, the CLI now prominently displays available agentic app templates for easier selection. If you want to name your app "agent" without creating an agentic app, you can use the --name flag to explicitly set the app name instead.
Enhanced Template Browsing
The slack create command with the --list flag now displays available templates without requiring an immediate selection, allowing developers to explore options before committing.
Deployment and Authentication Enhancements
- The
slack deploycommand now references the latest online documentation and provides helpful suggestions to run a development app usingslack runif adeployhook script doesn't exist. - The CLI now automatically prompts for login when running credential-required commands and no prior authentications are detected, eliminating confusing error exits.
These improvements streamline the developer workflow from app creation through deployment and reduce friction when managing authentication.
