Draft a Slack message about: $ARGUMENTS

## Instructions

1. Ask clarifying questions if the topic is vague
2. Write the message using Slack's **mrkdwn** syntax:
   - `*bold*` for emphasis
   - `_italic_` for tone/nuance
   - `> quote` for callouts
   - `• ` for bullet lists (not `-`)
   - `\`code\`` for inline code, \`\`\`block\`\`\` for code blocks
3. Keep it concise — Slack messages should be scannable
4. Use line breaks generously for readability
5. Add relevant emoji where natural (not excessive)
6. If the message references people, use `@name` placeholder format

## Tone guidelines

- Default to professional-but-friendly
- Match the implied tone of the request (e.g., "announce a launch" → upbeat; "report an incident" → direct and calm)
- Avoid walls of text — if it's longer than ~8 lines, use sections with bold headers

## Output

Return the final message in a code block so it can be copied directly into Slack.
