feat(messages): add --channel flag to send command#126
Merged
Conversation
The channel can now be specified via --channel as an alternative to the positional argument. When --channel is provided, positional args are treated as text. Both forms are equivalent: slck messages send general "Hello" slck messages send --channel general "Hello"
Address review feedback: use strings.Join for positional args when --channel is provided so multiple args aren't silently dropped. Add test for multi-arg case.

Summary
Adds
--channelas an optional flag alternative to the positional channel argument onmessages send. Both forms are equivalent:When
--channelis provided, all positional arguments are treated as text. If neither--channelnor a positional channel is provided, the command returns an error.Motivation
The positional-only syntax isn't always intuitive, especially for AI tooling and MCP integrations that naturally reach for
--channel. This makes the interface more flexible without changing existing behavior.Changes
send.go: Addchannelfield tosendOptions, register--channelflag, updateRunEto resolve channel from flag or positional argmessages_test.go: AddTestSendCmd_ChannelFlagandTestSendCmd_NoChannelError
