Manifest vs Scratch
Feature Manifest (Configuration-as-Code) Scratch (Interactive Creation)
Concept Defining the entire app's configuration (features, scopes, URLs,
etc.) in a single, portable, YAML or JSON file.
Creating the app directly within the Slack UI/web portal by clicking
through forms and settings.
Starting Point An empty workspace or command line, using a definition file
(manifest.yaml).
The Slack API website, using the "Create an App" button.
Development DevOps/CI/CD Friendly. Ideal for automated deployment, version
control (Git), and moving between environments
(staging/production).
Quick Start/Exploration. Great for testing concepts, learning the
API, or one-off integrations.
Portability High. The manifest file is the single source of truth and can be
easily applied to create the exact same app across multiple
workspaces.
Low. Requires manual transcription or copy-pasting of settings to
recreate the app in another workspace.
CLI Usage Primarily used with the Slack CLI (slack app create --manifest ...). Often used when manually setting up tokens and basic app
configurations.

Block Kit
Slack Block Kit is a UI framework that allows developers to build interactive and visually structured messages, modals, and pages within Slack. It uses a
JSON-based format to arrange various "blocks"—like text, images, buttons, and menus—into a customizable layout. This enables developers to create
richer user experiences than plain text allows, from simple notifications to complex workflows.
Slack Block Kit Builder is a visual tool for designing and previewing interactive messages in Slack. It allows users to drag and drop pre-built "blocks" (like
text, images, buttons, and menus) to create custom layouts without writing code.
