Example Slack chatbot running chatskills.

slack.js

var chatskills = require('chatskills');
var SlackBot = require('slackbots');
var bot = new SlackBot({ token: 'your-slack-token', name: 'awesome' });

// Set bot name.
chatskills.name('awesome');

// Create a new skill.
var hello = chatskills.add('hello');

// Create a new intent.
hello.intent('helloWorld', {
    'slots': {},
    'utterances': [ '{to |}{say|speak|tell me} {hi|hello|howdy|hi there|hiya|hi ya|hey|hay|heya}' ]
    },
    function(req, res) {
        res.say('Hello, World!');
    }
);

// Listen to slack messages.
bot.on('message', function(message) {
    // Reply to humans.
    if (message.type == 'message' && message.text && message.subtype != 'bot_message') {
        var author = getUserById(message.user);
        var channel = getChannelById(message.channel);

        // Respond to input, use author.name as the session id.
        chatskills.respond(message.text, author.name, function(response) {
            if (channel) {
                // Public channel message.
                bot.postMessageToChannel(channel.name, response);
            }
            else {
                // Private message.
                bot.postMessageToUser(author.name, response);
            }
        });
    }
});

function getUserById(id) {
    return bot.users.filter(function (user) {
        return user.id == id;
    })[0];
}

function getChannelById(id) {
    return bot.channels.filter(function (channel) {
        return channel.id == id;
    })[0];
}
