vLLM slack Summary Skill

Automates generating slack summaries of the vLLM CI SIG Slack channel for the Red Hat AI Inference Server (RHAIIS) team.

Prerequisites

slackdump installed and authenticated with vLLM workspace
- Install: https://github.com/rusq/slackdump
- Auth: Run slackdump workspace add

Usage

./scripts/generate_transcript.py                    # Last 7 days (default)
./scripts/generate_transcript.py --days 14          # Custom date range
./scripts/generate_transcript.py --output-dir out   # Custom output directory

Context

When summarizing the transcript, focus on:

Breaking changes affecting the RHAIIS midstream build
Hardware issues with H100, A100, MI300, or B200 GPUs
CI/CD infrastructure changes impacting test reliability
Dependencies changes in build requirements or Python packages
Performance regressions that could affect RHAIIS
Upstream releases and their stability status

Output

The skill creates vllm_slack_summary/ containing:

vllm_slack_summary/
├── slack_export/                               # Raw Slack export
├── transcript.md                               # Markdown transcript
└── slack_summary_YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD.md  # Summary report

After generating the transcript, analyze it and create a summary with:

Executive Summary (2-3 sentences)
Key Issues & Resolutions
CI/CD Infrastructure Changes
Action Items for Red Hat Team

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
slackdump not found	Ensure slackdump is in PATH: `which slackdump`
Authentication failed	Run `slackdump workspace add`
No messages found	Check date range; channel may have no messages in that period
