How to post a weekday brief of Slack and GitHub activity with Claude Quickstarts

Deploy a scheduled agent that posts one short brief to Slack each weekday from channels and pull requests.

Authorization notice. Claude Quickstarts is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Credentials. The agent needs Slack and GitHub access, so store those tokens in the vault the deployment uses and never in files committed to the repository.

Who it is forA team lead or engineer who wants a daily digest of Slack channel activity and open GitHub pull requests without checking each source by hand.

The problemKeeping up with several Slack channels and GitHub pull requests every morning takes time, and failed or missing sources are easy to overlook.

The outcomeOne short brief posted to Slack each weekday, with any source that could not be read reported as unreadable rather than silently skipped.

What you need first

  • A Claude API key, available by signing up at console.anthropic.com
  • Git, to clone the repository
  • The runtime and dependencies listed in the README of the specific quickstart you choose
  • For the daily brief use case: Slack and GitHub access, configured through the project's own setup

Steps

  1. Clone the Claude Quickstarts repository to your machine.
  2. Open the managed-agents/daily-brief directory and read its README.
  3. Set up the Slack and GitHub access, and the Claude API key, that the README requires.
  4. Apply the deployment files the README describes, which are defined as files applied with ant apply.
  5. Check the first scheduled post in Slack and confirm it lists each source.

Prompt for your agent

Work in the anthropics/claude-quickstarts repository. Open the managed-agents/daily-brief quickstart, follow its README to configure Slack, GitHub and the Claude API key, and apply the deployment files it describes. Report the deployment status and the first brief posted to Slack, and verify that every source is listed as either read or unreadable.

Caveat. The README names the deployment files and the ant apply step but not the exact commands or permissions, so read the project README before applying anything to your workspace.
