stacks-chat · Native Stacks · model-invoked

Use when implementing chat messaging in Stacks - sending messages to Slack (webhooks, bot tokens, block kit), Discord (webhooks, bot tokens, embeds), Microsoft Teams (adaptive cards, webhooks), the BaseChatDriver abstraction, retry logic, multi-channel chat routing, or READING a person's conversations from iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack and Discord and archiving them there (the inbox drivers). Covers @stacksjs/chat.

Read the skill for the implementation workflow and its current signatures. The Native capabilities catalog maps the package to source and retained evidence; driver limits are explicit.
