Slack Bot

Scaffolds a TypeScript Slack bot using @slack/bolt with Socket Mode for local development and HTTP for production. Includes AI-powered message and app-mention handlers, an optional /ask slash command, a pluggable LLM provider registry (AWS Bedrock by default — Converse with prompt caching, on IRSA, no keys — plus Anthropic and OpenAI alternates), and thread-aware conversation context for multi-turn AI responses.
