## What it is
hubot-slack is a Hubot adapter that connects Hubot chat bots to Slack, maintained by Slack as part of their developer kits. The project is archived and no longer under active development, with Slack recommending migration to Bolt for JS with Socket Mode.

## Use cases
- connect a hubot bot to slack
- run chat automation in slack channels
- build a slack bot with hubot scripts
- respond to slack messages with a bot
- integrate legacy hubot scripts with slack

## When to choose
- you maintain an existing hubot deployment on slack and need compatibility
- you rely on legacy hubot scripts that cannot be ported yet

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new slack bot project - use Bolt for JS instead
- you need ongoing support or new features
- you want a maintained, actively developed integration

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: chatbot, middleware, sdk
- domain: chatbots, developer-tools, messaging-platforms
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: hubot, slack-adapter, coffeescript, deprecated, bot-framework, automation, nodejs
