Caching users

Fetching users

Download all workspace members to the local cache:

slack-cached fetch-users

The command prints a summary to stderr:

processed 150 users (150 added, 150 total in db)

Running it again updates existing records without duplication (upsert by user ID).

Showing cached users

Display all cached users in human-readable format:

slack-cached show-users

Display as JSON:

slack-cached show-users --json

Users are auto-fetched if the cache is empty (unless --no-fetch is given).

Display name resolution

When users are cached, thread and channel output resolves user IDs to display names in the format "Real Name (handle)". For example, a message from user U123 appears as:

[2024-01-15 10:30:00] Alice Smith (alice)
  Hey, I've reviewed the PR.

Without cached users, the raw user ID is shown instead.
