slackbuzz app create

Create a new Slack app with required scopes

Create a new Slack app pre-configured with all scopes needed by the CLI, install it, and store its tokens.

Two ways to create the app:

Config token (default) — paste an App Configuration Token from api.slack.com/apps > Your App Configuration Tokens. The app is created via the manifest API.

—web — no config token. Slack’s “create from manifest” page opens pre-filled; click Create, then paste the Client ID and Client Secret.

Either way, Slack then opens in your browser: click Allow and both the bot and user tokens are stored automatically. No token copying.
