Before you begin

Connecting Slack is about 10 minutes. You create a Slack app, grab two tokens, and paste them into Kura-chan. You don’t need to write any code or run a public server.

What you need

1. A Slack workspace where you can install apps

   You either have permission to install apps yourself, or an admin who can approve the install. Personal or small-team workspaces are easiest.

2. Kura-chan running

   Kura-chan must be running, with its dashboard open in your browser. You’ll paste the tokens there.

3. About 10 minutes

   The App-level token (Step in The two tokens) is shown only once, so it’s safest to push through token creation and pasting back-to-back.

The shape of what’s ahead

Step	Where	What
1	api.slack.com	Create the app from a manifest
2	api.slack.com	Generate the App-level token (xapp-…)
3	api.slack.com	Install to your workspace → copy the Bot token (xoxb-…)
4	Kura-chan dashboard	Paste both tokens in Channels → Slack, click Connect
5	Slack	Invite the bot to a channel and verify it answers

Why a manifest?

The manifest in Create the Slack app sets every scope, event, slash command, and toggle in one paste — so you skip a dozen settings screens. A manual checklist is included there too, if you’d rather click through.
