+# Story 385: Slack markdown-to-mrkdwn formatting conversion
+
+## User Story
+
+As a Slack user, I want bot messages to use Slack-native mrkdwn formatting instead of raw markdown, so that headers, bold text, and links render properly.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Headers (# ## ### etc.) are converted to bold text (*Header*) in Slack messages
+- [ ] Markdown bold (**text**) is converted to Slack bold (*text*)
+- [ ] Markdown strikethrough (~~text~~) is converted to Slack strikethrough (~text~)
+- [ ] Markdown links [text](url) are converted to Slack format: <url|text>
+- [ ] Code blocks and inline code are preserved as-is (already compatible)
+- [ ] WhatsApp and Matrix bot formatting are completely unaffected (conversion only applied in Slack send paths)
+- [ ] Conversion is applied to all Slack send paths: command responses, LLM streaming, htop snapshots, delete responses, and slash command responses
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
