Description

repo-intel currently outputs intelligence reports as GitHub Issues. Many teams use Slack for engineering communication and would prefer receiving competitive intelligence digests there.

What this would do:

  • Add a slack-webhook-url input to action.yml
  • Format the intelligence digest as a Slack Block Kit message
  • POST to the webhook URL when the report is generated

Acceptance criteria:

  • New input: slack-webhook-url (optional)
  • If provided, send formatted digest to Slack in addition to (or instead of) GitHub Issue
  • Use Slack Block Kit for rich formatting (headers, bullet points, links)
  • Handle webhook errors gracefully (don't fail the Action)
