Open Source CoffeeScript Communications Software

So you want to get started using Hubot and Slack? We’ve got you covered. Slack Developer Kit for Hubot is an adapter that connects your Hubot scripts to your Slack team, giving you and your fellow teammates a new best friend: your very own scriptable, pluggable bot. What is Hubot and when should I use it? In short, it makes developing ChatOps-style bots quicker and easier. It’s an application you host on a server that uses the Slack platform and behaves however you script it to. You will first want to create a new Hubot project. The simplest way is to use your computer’s terminal app to install Yeoman, a handy tool that builds projects from a template. Slack apps are a container for many capabilities in the Slack platform, and let you access those capabilities in a single place. This is the recommended choice because it allows room for your Hubot to grow. To begin, you just need a Bot User.
