⚠ Read this prompt before pasting — your agent will do what it says.
Install Slack on this machine. Follow these steps in order:

1. Detect my operating system and CPU architecture and tell me what you found.

2. Pick the install method for my OS:
   - macOS: Homebrew cask `slack`. If Homebrew is not installed, tell me and ask whether I want it installed from https://brew.sh first — wait for my answer before touching Homebrew.
   - Windows: WinGet package `SlackTechnologies.Slack`.
   - Linux: download the official .deb from https://slack.com/downloads/linux and install it with the system package manager, or use the Flatpak if I prefer.

3. Check whether Slack is already installed. If it is, tell me the installed version and ask whether I want to upgrade or leave it as is.

4. Before running anything, show me the exact commands you intend to run and what they will download and from where, then wait for my approval.

5. After my approval, run the install, then verify it worked by reporting the installed version (the app's About screen or package listing) and show me the output.

Do not change my notification or startup settings unless I ask.

After installation, guide me through:
- Sign in to my workspace(s) — I'll enter credentials and 2FA myself
- Set notification preferences (what, when, on which devices)
- Decide whether Slack launches at login

After install, your agent guides you through

  • Sign in to my workspace(s) — I'll enter credentials and 2FA myself
  • Set notification preferences (what, when, on which devices)
  • Decide whether Slack launches at login

Guided steps — your agent walks you through them; sign-ins and permissions stay in your hands.

Installs a desktop application system-wide via the OS package manager. The prompt requires an explicit approval gate before any command runs; sign-in and permissions are guided post-install steps the user performs.
