+### Changed
+
+- The `slack-search` skill teaches what agents of 0.0.5 still got wrong:
+  - Every link that was not copied from a hit, a thread's own link included, is built in code, with a short example. Every claim carries its own link, even a repeated one.
+  - It says what `slack_read_thread` returns and how big it is, so agents read each thread once and whole.
+  - After a declined private search, it says that the default scopes would refuse that search anyway, and it points to `/slack-status`'s `Scopes` row.
+  - A script, and a test of one, uses a session created for it, never one found in history.
+  - Its link to the Scripting doc is the plain file on `raw.githubusercontent.com`.
+- Code Mode's description of the `slack` namespace says that a script calls the reads as a session created for it. The Scripting doc adds that a borrowed session runs the script as its own agent, under its rules.

 A hit is a fragment, so read around it before you answer:
 
-- `slack_read_thread({ channel_id, message_ts })` returns the parent message and every reply.
-  - `message_ts` must be the parent's ts. A hit with `Reply count` above 0 is a parent: use its own `Message_ts`.
-  - For a reply, use the `thread_ts=` value in the reply's permalink.

+  - `message_ts` must be the parent's ts. A hit with `Reply count` above 0 is a parent: use its own `Message_ts`. For a reply, use the `thread_ts=` value in the reply's permalink.
+  - **What comes back:** `{ messages, pagination_info }`, both strings, about 0.4 KB per message (a 30-reply thread is about 13 KB). `messages` holds `=== THREAD PARENT MESSAGE ===`, then `=== THREAD REPLIES (N total) ===` and one `--- Reply i of N ---` block per reply. Each message has `From`, `Time` and `Message TS` lines (with a space, unlike a hit's `Message_ts`), then its text. There are no permalinks. `pagination_info` holds the next `cursor` for a thread with more than 100 replies.
+  - **Read each thread once, whole.** Choose the threads first from the hits' `Reply count` and `Text`. Don't cut `messages` to a fixed length or screen threads by their first characters, because then you read them again. To return less, split on the `--- Reply` lines and keep the replies you need.
 - `slack_read_channel({ channel_id, oldest, latest, limit })` returns recent messages, or the messages around a hit. Search lags behind very new messages, so read the channel for those.
 - `slack_read_user_profile({ user_id })`, `slack_list_channel_members({ channel_id })`, `slack_get_reactions({ channel_id, message_ts })` and `slack_read_list({ list_id })` cover the rest.

 ## 3. Answer and cite
 
-- **Cite every claim:** put the permalink of the message it rests on, from that hit's `Permalink` line, next to the claim. Copy it exactly (in Code Mode, return it from the code): a retyped link breaks silently.
-- **Replies from a thread:** `slack_read_thread` gives no permalinks. Cite the thread's permalink from the hit, or build a reply's link in code, never by hand: `https://<workspace>.slack.com/archives/<channel ID>/p<ts without the dot>?thread_ts=<parent ts, with its dot>`. Take the workspace host from any permalink.
+- **Cite every claim:** put the link of the message it rests on next to each claim, each bullet of a list of people or decisions included. Repeat the link even if it appeared above; "same thread as above" is not a citation.
+- **Copy a link or build it in code, never type one:** a retyped link breaks silently.
+  - A hit's `Permalink` line: copy it exactly (in Code Mode, return it from the code).
+  - Any other link, a thread's own link included: build it in your `execute` code from the `Message_ts` or `Message TS` values, and return it beside the fact it supports. Take the workspace host from any permalink.
+  - So return a ready link with every message your code reads. If the answer needs a link your code did not return, run code again to build it rather than writing it yourself.
+  - Paste each link whole. The usual slip is dropping the dot from `thread_ts=` (`thread_ts=1730000000.000100`, never `thread_ts=1730000000000100`): Slack's own links always keep it. Check every `thread_ts=` before you answer.
+    ```js
+    const host = permalink.match(/^https:\/\/[^/]+/)[0]
+    const link = (channel, ts, parentTs) => `${host}/archives/${channel}/p${ts.replace(".", "")}`
+      + (parentTs && parentTs !== ts ? `?thread_ts=${parentTs}` : "")  // a reply needs its parent's ts, with the dot
+    ```
 - **Say what you searched:** the queries, the channels and the dates.
 - **Never claim completeness:** results are ranked and capped, new messages may be missing, and you see only what the user can see. Write "I found no messages that match …", not "there are none".
