• Development Workflow - How to set up and contribute to the project
• Coding Style and Rules - Coding conventions used in the project

Project Structure

The Redis backend implementation follows this structure:

slack_mcp_plugin/
└── backends/
    └── queue/
        ├── __init__.py
        └── redis.py          # Redis backend implementation

• Consumer Groups: Distributed message processing support
• Stream Management: Automatic stream discovery and cleanup

CI/CD

The project uses GitHub Actions for:

• Automated testing across Python 3.12 and 3.13
• Code quality checks (black, pylint, mypy)
• Integration tests with Redis
• Automated PyPI publishing
