Summary

This pull request adds the slackbot.skills.update method to @slack/web-api.

  • client.slackbot.skills.update() takes a required skill_id. The optional arguments are display_name, instructions, description, category, example_prompt, and mcp_servers.
  • category also accepts '', and description, example_prompt, and mcp_servers: [] clear their values, as the reference describes.
  • SlackbotSkillsUpdateResponse is generated with scripts/code_generator.rb from the json-logs/samples/api/slackbot.skills.update.json sample recorded live in feat: add slackbot.skills.update method java-slack-sdk#1687.
  • Adds type tests and a minor changeset.

This is part 3 of 11 in a stack that adds the Slackbot skills methods one at a time, following a skill from creation to deletion. Each pull request builds on the one before it and merges on its own, bottom to top. It replaces #2830.

Each layer of this stack was checked against an Enterprise developer sandbox by running every method added so far, in order, with that layer's WebClient.
