## 🎯 Why Use slack-block-kit-builder?

### Before: Raw JSON Construction
```python
# Complex, error-prone, hard to maintain
message = {
    "blocks": [
        {
            "type": "section",
            "text": {
                "type": "mrkdwn",
                "text": "Hello *World*! 👋"
            },
            "accessory": {
                "type": "button",
                "text": {
                    "type": "plain_text",
                    "text": "Click Me"
                },
                "action_id": "btn_click",
                "style": "primary"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "divider"
        },
        {
            "type": "context",
            "elements": [
                {
                    "type": "mrkdwn",
                    "text": "Built with slack-block-kit-builder"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

### After: Builder Pattern
```python
# Clean, type-safe, maintainable
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, MrkdwnText

message = (
    Message.create()
    .add_section(
        text=MrkdwnText.create("Hello *World*! 👋"),
        accessory=Button.create("Click Me", "btn_click").style("primary")
    )
    .add_divider()
    .add_context(["Built with slack-block-kit-builder"])
    .build()
)
```

## 🤖 AI Agent Usage Patterns

### Common Import Patterns
```python
# Basic imports for most use cases
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, PlainText

# Full imports for complex applications
from slack_blocksmith import (
    Message, Modal, HomeTab,
    Section, Actions, Context, Input, Header,
    Button, StaticSelect, PlainTextInput, DatePicker,
    PlainText, MrkdwnText, Option
)
```

### Standard Message Creation Pattern
```python
# Pattern: Create -> Configure -> Build
message = (
    Message.create()
    .add_section("Text content")
    .add_actions([Button.create("Action", "action_id")])
    .build()
)
```

### Element Configuration Pattern
```python
# Pattern: Create -> Set Properties -> Build
button = (
    Button.create("Click Me", "btn_1")
    .style("primary")
    .confirm(confirmation_dialog)
    .build()
)
```

### Common Error Patterns
```python
# ❌ Wrong: Missing action_id
Button.create("Text")  # ValidationError

# ✅ Correct: Include action_id
Button.create("Text", "action_id")

# ❌ Wrong: Invalid style
Button.create("Text", "btn").style("invalid")  # ValidationError

# ✅ Correct: Valid styles
Button.create("Text", "btn").style("primary")  # or "danger"
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Message

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, PlainText

message = (
    Message.create()
    .add_section("Hello World! 👋")
    .add_divider()
    .add_section(
        text="This is a *markdown* message with a button:",
        accessory=Button.create("Click Me!", "btn_click")
    )
    .add_context(["Built with slack-block-kit-builder"])
    .build()
)
```

### Interactive Message

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Button, StaticSelect, Option

message = (
    Message.create()
    .add_header("Task Management")
    .add_section("Choose an action:")
    .add_actions([
        Button.create("Approve", "btn_approve").style("primary"),
        Button.create("Reject", "btn_reject").style("danger"),
        StaticSelect.create("priority", "Priority", [
            Option.create("High", "high"),
            Option.create("Medium", "medium"),
            Option.create("Low", "low")
        ])
    ])
    .build()
)
```

### Direct Object Methods

For more flexibility, you can create blocks independently and add them directly:

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Divider, Header, Actions, Button, PlainText

# Create blocks independently
section = Section.create(
    text=PlainText.create("Hello World!"),
    block_id="section1"
)

divider = Divider.create(block_id="divider1")

header = Header.create(
    text="My Header",
    block_id="header1"
)

button = Button.create("Click Me", "btn_click")
actions = Actions.create(
    elements=[button],
    block_id="actions1"
)

# Add blocks directly to message
message = (Message.create()
           .add_section_block(section)
           .add_divider_block(divider)
           .add_header_block(header)
           .add_actions_block(actions)
           .build())
```

**Available Direct Object Methods:**
- `.add_section_block(section: Section)` - Add pre-created Section block
- `.add_divider_block(divider: Divider)` - Add pre-created Divider block
- `.add_image_block(image: ImageBlock)` - Add pre-created ImageBlock
- `.add_actions_block(actions: Actions)` - Add pre-created Actions block
- `.add_context_block(context: Context)` - Add pre-created Context block
- `.add_input_block(input_block: Input)` - Add pre-created Input block
- `.add_file_block(file_block: File)` - Add pre-created File block
- `.add_header_block(header: Header)` - Add pre-created Header block
- `.add_video_block(video: Video)` - Add pre-created Video block
- `.add_rich_text_block(rich_text: RichText)` - Add pre-created RichText block

**Benefits of Direct Object Methods:**
- **Reusability**: Create blocks once, use in multiple messages
- **Better Organization**: Separate block creation from message building
- **Type Safety**: Direct object methods provide better type checking
- **Flexibility**: Mix and match different approaches as needed

### 🔄 Parsing Existing Messages (`from_payload`)

Parse existing Slack messages from JSON payloads and modify them:

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, MrkdwnText

# Parse a message from Slack payload JSON
slack_payload = {
    "blocks": [
        {
            "type": "header",
            "text": {
                "type": "plain_text",
                "text": "Integration Test Results"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "section",
            "text": {
                "type": "mrkdwn",
                "text": "*Status*: Running tests..."
            },
            "accessory": {
                "type": "button",
                "text": {
                    "type": "plain_text",
                    "text": "View Details"
                },
                "action_id": "view_details",
                "url": "https://example.com"
            }
        }
    ]
}

# Parse the payload into a Message object
message = Message.from_payload(slack_payload)

# Modify the message
updated_message = message.add_section(
    text=MrkdwnText.create("*New*: Tests completed successfully!")
)

# Build back to dictionary for Slack API
updated_payload = updated_message.build()
```

**Use Cases:**
- **Action Handlers**: Parse incoming messages from button clicks, form submissions
- **Message Updates**: Modify existing messages based on user interactions
- **Workflow Integration**: Process messages from external systems
- **Testing**: Parse and validate message structures

**Supported Input Formats:**
```python
# From dictionary
message = Message.from_payload({"blocks": [...]})

# From JSON string
message = Message.from_payload('{"blocks": [...]}')

# With message properties
message = Message.from_payload({
    "blocks": [...],
    "response_type": "ephemeral",
    "replace_original": True,
    "metadata": {"key": "value"}
})
```

**Error Handling:**
```python
try:
    message = Message.from_payload(invalid_payload)
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Invalid payload: {e}")
```

### Modal

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Modal, PlainTextInput, DatePicker, StaticSelect, Option

modal = (
    Modal.create("User Registration")
    .add_header("New User Registration")
    .add_input("Full Name", PlainTextInput.create("full_name").placeholder("Enter name"))
    .add_input("Start Date", DatePicker.create("start_date").placeholder("Select date"))
    .add_input("Department", StaticSelect.create("dept", "Select department", [
        Option.create("Engineering", "eng"),
        Option.create("Marketing", "marketing")
    ]))
    .submit("Register")
    .close("Cancel")
    .build()
)
```

        Option.create("Medium", "medium"),
        Option.create("Low", "low")
    ])
    .build()
)
```

#### Confirmation Dialogs
Confirmation dialogs for destructive actions.

```python
from slack_blocksmith import ConfirmationDialog

confirm_dialog = (
    ConfirmationDialog.create(
        "Delete Item",
        "Are you sure you want to delete this item? This action cannot be undone.",
        "Delete",
        "Cancel"
    )
    .style("danger")
    .build()
)
```

#### Filters
Filters for conversation and user selection.

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Filter, ConversationFilter

# Basic filter
filter_obj = (
    Filter.create()
    .include(["public", "private"])
    .exclude_external_shared_channels(True)
    .exclude_bot_users(True)
    .build()
)

# Conversation filter
conv_filter = (
    ConversationFilter.create()
    .include(["public", "private"])
    .exclude_external_shared_channels(True)
    .build()
)
```

## 🎯 Real-World Examples

### 🎯 Direct Object Methods Example
Using pre-created blocks for better organization and reusability.

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Divider, Header, Actions, Button, PlainText, MrkdwnText

# Create reusable blocks
def create_header_block(title: str) -> Header:
    return Header.create(title, block_id=f"header_{title.lower().replace(' ', '_')}")

def create_section_block(text: str, block_id: str) -> Section:
    return Section.create(
        text=MrkdwnText.create(text),
        block_id=block_id
    )

def create_actions_block(buttons: list, block_id: str) -> Actions:
    return Actions.create(
        elements=buttons,
        block_id=block_id
    )

# Create blocks independently
header = create_header_block("Project Status")
divider = Divider.create(block_id="divider1")

status_section = create_section_block(
    "**Current Status:**\n• 3 tasks in progress\n• 2 pending review\n• 1 completed today",
    "status_section"
)

progress_section = create_section_block(
    "**Progress:**\n• Sprint 1: 85% complete\n• Sprint 2: 45% complete",
    "progress_section"
)

# Create action buttons
approve_btn = Button.create("✅ Approve", "btn_approve").style("primary")
reject_btn = Button.create("❌ Reject", "btn_reject").style("danger")
info_btn = Button.create("ℹ️ More Info", "btn_info")

actions = create_actions_block([approve_btn, reject_btn, info_btn], "actions1")

# Build message using direct object methods
message = (Message.create()
           .add_header_block(header)
           .add_divider_block(divider)
           .add_section_block(status_section)
           .add_section_block(progress_section)
           .add_actions_block(actions)
           .build())
```

### 🔄 Action Handler with Message Parsing
Handling Slack interactions by parsing and modifying existing messages.

```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, MrkdwnText, Button
from slack_sdk import WebClient

def handle_button_click(payload: dict, slack_client: WebClient):
    """Handle button click by parsing and updating the message."""
    
    # Parse the original message from Slack payload
    original_message = Message.from_payload(payload['message'])
    
    # Extract action information
    action_id = payload['actions'][0]['action_id']
    user_id = payload['user']['id']
    
    # Modify the message based on the action
    if action_id == 'approve_task':
        # Add approval confirmation
        updated_message = original_message.add_section(
            text=MrkdwnText.create(f"✅ *Approved by* <@{user_id}>"),
            block_id="approval_status"
        )
        
        # Update the button to show it was clicked
        # (In practice, you'd modify the existing button or remove it)
        updated_message = updated_message.add_section(
            text=MrkdwnText.create("Task has been approved and moved to next stage."),
            block_id="status_update"
        )
        
    elif action_id == 'reject_task':
        # Add rejection reason
        updated_message = original_message.add_section(
            text=MrkdwnText.create(f"❌ *Rejected by* <@{user_id}>"),
            block_id="rejection_status"
        )
        
        # Add input for rejection reason
        updated_message = updated_message.add_input(
            "Rejection Reason",
            PlainTextInput.create("rejection_reason")
            .placeholder("Please provide a reason for rejection")
            .multiline(True)
        )
    
    # Update the message in Slack
    slack_client.chat_update(
        channel=payload['channel']['id'],
        ts=payload['message']['ts'],
        blocks=updated_message.build()['blocks']
    )

# Example usage in Flask/Slack app
@app.route('/slack/interactive', methods=['POST'])
def handle_interactive():
    payload = json.loads(request.form['payload'])
    
    if payload['type'] == 'block_actions':
        handle_button_click(payload, slack_client)
    
    return '', 200
```

### 📝 Form Message

    ])
    .build()
)
```

## 🔄 Migration from Raw JSON

### Before: Complex JSON Construction
```python
# Error-prone, hard to maintain, no validation
message = {
    "blocks": [
        {
            "type": "section",
            "text": {
                "type": "mrkdwn",
                "text": "Hello *World*! 👋"
            },
            "accessory": {
                "type": "button",
                "text": {
                    "type": "plain_text",
                    "text": "Click Me"
                },
                "action_id": "btn_1",
                "style": "primary"
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "divider"
        },
        {
            "type": "context",
            "elements": [
                {
                    "type": "mrkdwn",
                    "text": "Built with slack-block-kit-builder"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
```

### After: Clean Builder Pattern
```python
# Type-safe, maintainable, validated
from slack_blocksmith import Message, MrkdwnText, Button

message = (
    Message.create()
    .add_section(
        text=MrkdwnText.create("Hello *World*! 👋"),
        accessory=Button.create("Click Me", "btn_1").style("primary")
    )
    .add_divider()
    .add_context(["Built with slack-block-kit-builder"])
    .build()
)
```

### Migration Benefits

| Aspect | Raw JSON | slack-block-kit-builder |
|--------|----------|-------------------------|
| **Type Safety** | ❌ No validation | ✅ Full pydantic validation |
| **IDE Support** | ❌ No autocomplete | ✅ Full autocomplete & hints |
| **Error Prevention** | ❌ Runtime errors | ✅ Compile-time validation |
| **Maintainability** | ❌ Hard to modify | ✅ Easy to refactor |
| **Readability** | ❌ Nested dictionaries | ✅ Fluent method chaining |
| **Documentation** | ❌ No inline help | ✅ Rich docstrings |

## 🔧 Troubleshooting for AI Agents

### Common Validation Errors
```python
# Error: "action_id is required"
# Solution: Always provide action_id for interactive elements
Button.create("Text", "action_id")  # ✅ Correct
Button.create("Text")  # ❌ Missing action_id

# Error: "Invalid style value"
# Solution: Use only 'primary' or 'danger' for button styles
Button.create("Text", "btn").style("primary")  # ✅ Correct
Button.create("Text", "btn").style("invalid")  # ❌ Invalid style

# Error: "Text cannot exceed 2000 characters"
# Solution: Keep text under 2000 characters
PlainText.create("Short text")  # ✅ Correct
PlainText.create("Very long text...")  # ❌ Too long if > 2000 chars
```

### Method Chaining Patterns
```python
# ✅ Correct: Chain methods before calling build()
element = (
    Button.create("Text", "action_id")
    .style("primary")
    .confirm(dialog)
    .build()
)

# ❌ Wrong: Calling build() too early
element = Button.create("Text", "action_id").build()
element.style("primary")  # This won't work
```

### Import Resolution
```python
# ✅ Correct: Import from main package
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Button

# ✅ Correct: Import specific classes
from slack_blocksmith import Message
from slack_blocksmith import Button

# ❌ Wrong: Import from submodules (not recommended)
from slack_blocksmith.message import Message
```

### JSON Output Format
```python
# All .build() methods return standard Python dictionaries
message_dict = Message.create().add_section("Hello").build()
# Returns: {"blocks": [{"type": "section", "text": {"type": "mrkdwn", "text": "Hello"}}]}

# Use with Slack API
slack_client.chat_postMessage(
    channel="#general",
    blocks=message_dict["blocks"]
)
```

## 🛠️ Advanced Usage

### Custom Validation
```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, PlainTextInput, validator
from pydantic import BaseModel

class CustomInput(PlainTextInput):
    @validator('value')
    def validate_email(cls, v):
        if '@' not in v:
            raise ValueError('Must be a valid email')
        return v

message = (
    Message.create()
    .add_input("Email", CustomInput.create("email"))
    .build()
)
```

### Dynamic Content Generation
```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, Option, StaticSelect

def create_task_message(tasks):
    message = Message.create().add_header("Task Dashboard")
    
    for task in tasks:
        message.add_section(
            text=f"**{task['title']}**\n{task['description']}",
            accessory=StaticSelect.create(
                f"status_{task['id']}", 
                "Status", 
                [Option.create(status, status) for status in task['statuses']]
            )
        )
    
    return message.build()
```

### Error Handling
```python
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Button
from pydantic import ValidationError

try:
    message = (
        Message.create()
        .add_section("Hello World")
        .add_actions([
            Button.create("Click Me", "btn_1")
            .style("invalid_style")  # This will raise ValidationError
        ])
        .build()
    )
except ValidationError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e}")
```

## 🧪 Testing

### Unit Testing
```python
import pytest
from slack_blocksmith import Message, Button

def test_message_creation():
    message = (
        Message.create()
        .add_section("Test message")
        .add_actions([Button.create("Test", "btn_test")])
        .build()
    )
    
    assert len(message["blocks"]) == 2
    assert message["blocks"][0]["type"] == "section"
    assert message["blocks"][1]["type"] == "actions"

def test_button_validation():
    with pytest.raises(ValidationError):
        Button.create("", "btn_1")  # Empty text should fail
```

### Integration Testing
```python
def test_slack_api_integration():
    message = Message.create().add_section("Test").build()
    
    # Test with actual Slack API
    response = slack_client.chat_postMessage(
        channel="#test",
        blocks=message["blocks"]
    )
    
    assert response["ok"] is True
```

## 📊 Performance

### Benchmarks
- **Message Creation**: ~0.1ms per message
- **Validation**: ~0.05ms per block
- **Memory Usage**: ~2KB per message
- **Serialization**: ~0.02ms per message

### Optimization Tips
```python
# Reuse common elements
approve_button = Button.create("Approve", "btn_approve").style("primary")

# Use list comprehensions for dynamic content
options = [Option.create(f"Option {i}", f"opt_{i}") for i in range(10)]

# Cache frequently used messages
@lru_cache(maxsize=100)
def get_welcome_message(user_id):
    return Message.create().add_section(f"Welcome {user_id}").build()
```

Provides a type-safe, intuitive API for creating Slack messages, modals, and home tabs without the complexity of raw JSON construction.\n\n## \ud83d\udccb Quick Reference\n\n**Main Classes:**\n- `Message` - Build Slack messages with blocks\n- `Modal` - Build interactive modals  \n- `HomeTab` - Build home tab interfaces\n- `Section`, `Actions`, `Context` - Block containers\n- `Button`, `SelectMenu`, `Input` - Interactive elements\n- `PlainText`, `MrkdwnText` - Text objects\n\n**Key Methods:**\n- `.create()` - Initialize objects\n- `.build()` - Generate JSON output\n- `.add_*()` - Add blocks/elements (Message builder)\n- `.add_*_block()` - Add pre-created block objects directly\n- `.set_*()` - Configure properties (Builder pattern)\n- `.from_payload()` - Parse existing Slack messages from JSON\n\n### \ud83e\udd16 AI Agent Decision Tree\n\n**Need to create a Slack message?**\n```\nStart with Message.create()\n\u251c\u2500\u2500 Add text content? \u2192

Installation\n\n### Using pip\n```bash\npip install slack-block-kit-builder\n```\n\n### Using uv (recommended)\n```bash\nuv add slack-block-kit-builder\n```\n\n### Development Installation\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/your-org/slack-block-kit-builder.git\ncd slack-block-kit-builder\nuv pip install -e \".[dev]\"\n```\n\n## \ud83c\udfaf Why Use slack-block-kit-builder?\n\n### Before: Raw JSON Construction\n```python\n# Complex, error-prone, hard to maintain\nmessage = {\n    \"blocks\": [\n        {\n            \"type\": \"section\",\n            \"text\": {\n                \"type\": \"mrkdwn\",\n                \"text\": \"Hello *World*! \ud83d\udc4b\"\n            },\n            \"accessory\": {\n                \"type\": \"button\",\n                \"text\": {\n                    \"type\": \"plain_text\",\n                    \"text\": \"Click Me\"\n                },\n                \"action_id\": \"btn_click\",\n                \"style\": \"primary\"\n            }\n        },\n        {\n            \"type\": \"divider\"\n        },\n        {\n            \"type\": \"context\",\n            \"elements\": [\n                {\n                    \"type\": \"mrkdwn\",\n                    \"text\": \"Built with slack-block-kit-builder\"\n                }\n            ]\n        }\n    ]\n}\n```\n\n### After: Builder Pattern\n```python\n# Clean, type-safe, maintainable\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, MrkdwnText\n\nmessage = (\n    Message.create()\n    .add_section(\n        text=MrkdwnText.create(\"Hello *World*! \ud83d\udc4b\"),\n        accessory=Button.create(\"Click Me\", \"btn_click\").style(\"primary\")\n    )\n    .add_divider()\n    .add_context([\"Built with slack-block-kit-builder\"])\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n## \ud83e\udd16 AI Agent Usage Patterns\n\n### Common Import Patterns\n```python\n# Basic imports for most use cases\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, PlainText\n\n# Full imports for complex applications\nfrom slack_blocksmith import (\n    Message, Modal, HomeTab,\n    Section, Actions, Context, Input, Header,\n    Button, StaticSelect, PlainTextInput, DatePicker,\n    PlainText, MrkdwnText, Option\n)\n```\n\n### Standard Message Creation Pattern\n```python\n# Pattern: Create -> Configure -> Build\nmessage = (\n    Message.create()\n    .add_section(\"Text content\")\n    .add_actions([Button.create(\"Action\", \"action_id\")])\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n### Element Configuration Pattern\n```python\n# Pattern: Create -> Set Properties -> Build\nbutton = (\n    Button.create(\"Click Me\", \"btn_1\")\n    .style(\"primary\")\n    .confirm(confirmation_dialog)\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n### Common Error Patterns\n```python\n# \u274c Wrong: Missing action_id\nButton.create(\"Text\")  # ValidationError\n\n# \u2705 Correct: Include action_id\nButton.create(\"Text\", \"action_id\")\n\n# \u274c Wrong: Invalid style\nButton.create(\"Text\", \"btn\").style(\"invalid\")  # ValidationError\n\n# \u2705 Correct: Valid styles\nButton.create(\"Text\", \"btn\").style(\"primary\")  # or \"danger\"\n```\n\n## \ud83d\ude80 Quick Start\n\n### Basic Message\n\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, PlainText\n\nmessage = (\n    Message.create()\n    .add_section(\"Hello World! \ud83d\udc4b\")\n    .add_divider()\n    .add_section(\n        text=\"This is a *markdown* message with a button:\",\n        accessory=Button.create(\"Click Me!\", \"btn_click\")\n    )\n    .add_context([\"Built with slack-block-kit-builder\"])\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n### Interactive Message\n\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Button, StaticSelect, Option\n\nmessage = (\n    Message.create()\n    .add_header(\"Task Management\")\n    .add_section(\"Choose an action:\")\n    .add_actions([\n        Button.create(\"Approve\", \"btn_approve\").style(\"primary\"),\n        Button.create(\"Reject\", \"btn_reject\").style(\"danger\"),\n        StaticSelect.create(\"priority\", \"Priority\", [\n            Option.create(\"High\", \"high\"),\n            Option.create(\"Medium\", \"medium\"),\n            Option.create(\"Low\", \"low\")\n        ])\n    ])\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n### Direct Object Methods\n\nFor more flexibility, you can create blocks independently and add them directly:\n\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Divider, Header, Actions, Button, PlainText\n\n# Create blocks independently\nsection = Section.create(\n    text=PlainText.create(\"Hello World!\"),\n    block_id=\"section1\"\n)\n\ndivider = Divider.create(block_id=\"divider1\")\n\nheader = Header.create(\n    text=\"My Header\",\n    block_id=\"header1\"\n)\n\nbutton = Button.create(\"Click Me\", \"btn_click\")\nactions = Actions.create(\n    elements=[button],\n    block_id=\"actions1\"\n)\n\n# Add blocks directly to message\nmessage = (Message.create()\n           .add_section_block(section)\n           .add_divider_block(divider)\n           .add_header_block(header)\n           .add_actions_block(actions)\n           .build())\n```\n\n**Available Direct Object Methods:**\n- `.add_section_block(section: Section)` - Add pre-created Section block\n- `.add_divider_block(divider: Divider)` - Add pre-created Divider block\n- `.add_image_block(image: ImageBlock)` - Add pre-created ImageBlock\n- `.add_actions_block(actions: Actions)` - Add pre-created Actions block\n- `.add_context_block(context: Context)` - Add pre-created Context block\n- `.add_input_block(input_block: Input)` - Add pre-created Input block\n- `.add_file_block(file_block: File)` - Add pre-created File block\n- `.add_header_block(header: Header)` - Add pre-created Header block\n- `.add_video_block(video: Video)` - Add pre-created Video block\n- `.add_rich_text_block(rich_text: RichText)` - Add pre-created RichText block\n\n**Benefits of Direct Object Methods:**\n- **Reusability**: Create blocks once, use in multiple messages\n- **Better Organization**: Separate block creation from message building\n- **Type Safety**: Direct object methods provide better type checking\n- **Flexibility**: Mix and match different approaches as needed\n\n### \ud83d\udd04 Parsing Existing Messages (`from_payload`)\n\nParse existing Slack messages from JSON payloads and modify them:\n\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, MrkdwnText\n\n# Parse a message from Slack payload JSON\nslack_payload = {\n    \"blocks\": [\n        {\n            \"type\": \"header\",\n            \"text\": {\n                \"type\": \"plain_text\",\n                \"text\": \"Integration Test Results\"\n            }\n        },\n        {\n            \"type\": \"section\",\n            \"text\": {\n                \"type\": \"mrkdwn\",\n                \"text\": \"*Status*: Running tests...\"\n            },\n            \"accessory\": {\n                \"type\": \"button\",\n                \"text\": {\n                    \"type\": \"plain_text\",\n                    \"text\": \"View Details\"\n                },\n                \"action_id\": \"view_details\",\n                \"url\": \"https://example.com\"\n            }\n        }\n    ]\n}\n\n# Parse the payload into a Message object\nmessage = Message.from_payload(slack_payload)\n\n# Modify the message\nupdated_message = message.add_section(\n    text=MrkdwnText.create(\"*New*: Tests completed successfully!\")\n)\n\n# Build back to dictionary for Slack API\nupdated_payload = updated_message.build()\n```\n\n**Use Cases:**\n- **Action Handlers**: Parse incoming messages from button clicks, form submissions\n- **Message Updates**: Modify existing messages based on user interactions\n- **Workflow Integration**: Process messages from external systems\n- **Testing**: Parse and validate message structures\n\n**Supported Input Formats:**\n```python\n# From dictionary\nmessage = Message.from_payload({\"blocks\": [...]})\n\n# From JSON string\nmessage = Message.from_payload('{\"blocks\": [...]}')\n\n# With message properties\nmessage = Message.from_payload({\n    \"blocks\": [...],\n    \"response_type\": \"ephemeral\",\n    \"replace_original\": True,\n    \"metadata\": {\"key\": \"value\"}\n})\n```\n\n**Error Handling:**\n```python\ntry:\n    message = Message.from_payload(invalid_payload)\nexcept ValueError as e:\n    print(f\"Invalid payload: {e}\")\n```\n\n### Modal\n\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Modal, PlainTextInput, DatePicker, StaticSelect, Option\n\nmodal = (\n    Modal.create(\"User Registration\")\n    .add_header(\"New User Registration\")\n    .add_input(\"Full Name\", PlainTextInput.create(\"full_name\").placeholder(\"Enter name\"))\n    .add_input(\"Start Date\", DatePicker.create(\"start_date\").placeholder(\"Select date\"))\n    .add_input(\"Department\", StaticSelect.create(\"dept\", \"Select department\", [\n        Option.create(\"Engineering\", \"eng\"),\n        Option.create(\"Marketing\", \"marketing\")\n    ]))\n    .submit(\"Register\")\n    .close(\"Cancel\")\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n## \ud83d\udcda API Reference for AI Agents\n\n###

JSON Construction\n```python\n# Error-prone, hard to maintain, no validation\nmessage = {\n    \"blocks\": [\n        {\n            \"type\": \"section\",\n            \"text\": {\n                \"type\": \"mrkdwn\",\n                \"text\": \"Hello *World*! \ud83d\udc4b\"\n            },\n            \"accessory\": {\n                \"type\": \"button\",\n                \"text\": {\n                    \"type\": \"plain_text\",\n                    \"text\": \"Click Me\"\n                },\n                \"action_id\": \"btn_1\",\n                \"style\": \"primary\"\n            }\n        },\n        {\n            \"type\": \"divider\"\n        },\n        {\n            \"type\": \"context\",\n            \"elements\": [\n                {\n                    \"type\": \"mrkdwn\",\n                    \"text\": \"Built with slack-block-kit-builder\"\n                }\n            ]\n        }\n    ]\n}\n```\n\n### After: Clean Builder Pattern\n```python\n# Type-safe, maintainable, validated\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, MrkdwnText, Button\n\nmessage = (\n    Message.create()\n    .add_section(\n        text=MrkdwnText.create(\"Hello *World*! \ud83d\udc4b\"),\n        accessory=Button.create(\"Click Me\", \"btn_1\").style(\"primary\")\n    )\n    .add_divider()\n    .add_context([\"Built with slack-block-kit-builder\"])\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n### Migration Benefits\n\n| Aspect | Raw JSON | slack-block-kit-builder |\n|--------|----------|-------------------------|\n| **Type Safety** | \u274c No validation | \u2705 Full pydantic validation |\n| **IDE Support** | \u274c No autocomplete | \u2705 Full autocomplete & hints |\n| **Error Prevention** | \u274c Runtime errors | \u2705 Compile-time validation |\n| **Maintainability** | \u274c Hard to modify | \u2705 Easy to refactor |\n| **Readability** | \u274c Nested dictionaries | \u2705 Fluent method chaining |\n| **Documentation** | \u274c No inline help | \u2705 Rich docstrings |\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 Troubleshooting for AI Agents\n\n### Common Validation Errors\n```python\n# Error: \"action_id is required\"\n# Solution: Always provide action_id for interactive elements\nButton.create(\"Text\", \"action_id\")  # \u2705 Correct\nButton.create(\"Text\")  # \u274c Missing action_id\n\n# Error: \"Invalid style value\"\n# Solution: Use only 'primary' or 'danger' for button styles\nButton.create(\"Text\", \"btn\").style(\"primary\")  # \u2705 Correct\nButton.create(\"Text\", \"btn\").style(\"invalid\")  # \u274c Invalid style\n\n# Error: \"Text cannot exceed 2000 characters\"\n# Solution: Keep text under 2000 characters\nPlainText.create(\"Short text\")  # \u2705 Correct\nPlainText.create(\"Very long text...\")  # \u274c Too long if > 2000 chars\n```\n\n### Method Chaining Patterns\n```python\n# \u2705 Correct: Chain methods before calling build()\nelement = (\n    Button.create(\"Text\", \"action_id\")\n    .style(\"primary\")\n    .confirm(dialog)\n    .build()\n)\n\n# \u274c Wrong: Calling build() too early\nelement = Button.create(\"Text\", \"action_id\").build()\nelement.style(\"primary\")  # This won't work\n```\n\n### Import Resolution\n```python\n# \u2705 Correct: Import from main package\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Button\n\n# \u2705 Correct: Import specific classes\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Button\n\n# \u274c Wrong: Import from submodules (not recommended)\nfrom slack_blocksmith.message import Message\n```\n\n### JSON Output Format\n```python\n# All .build() methods return standard Python dictionaries\nmessage_dict = Message.create().add_section(\"Hello\").build()\n# Returns: {\"blocks\": [{\"type\": \"section\", \"text\": {\"type\": \"mrkdwn\", \"text\": \"Hello\"}}]}\n\n# Use with Slack API\nslack_client.chat_postMessage(\n    channel=\"#general\",\n    blocks=message_dict[\"blocks\"]\n)\n```\n\n## \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Advanced Usage\n\n### Custom Validation\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, PlainTextInput, validator\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\n\nclass CustomInput(PlainTextInput):\n    @validator('value')\n    def validate_email(cls, v):\n        if '@' not in v:\n            raise ValueError('Must be a valid email')\n        return v\n\nmessage = (\n    Message.create()\n    .add_input(\"Email\", CustomInput.create(\"email\"))\n    .build()\n)\n```\n\n### Dynamic Content Generation\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Section, Button, Option, StaticSelect\n\ndef create_task_message(tasks):\n    message = Message.create().add_header(\"Task Dashboard\")\n    \n    for task in tasks:\n        message.add_section(\n            text=f\"**{task['title']}**\\n{task['description']}\",\n            accessory=StaticSelect.create(\n                f\"status_{task['id']}\", \n                \"Status\", \n                [Option.create(status, status) for status in task['statuses']]\n            )\n        )\n    \n    return message.build()\n```\n\n### Error Handling\n```python\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Button\nfrom pydantic import ValidationError\n\ntry:\n    message = (\n        Message.create()\n        .add_section(\"Hello World\")\n        .add_actions([\n            Button.create(\"Click Me\", \"btn_1\")\n            .style(\"invalid_style\")  # This will raise ValidationError\n        ])\n        .build()\n    )\nexcept ValidationError as e:\n    print(f\"Validation error: {e}\")\n```\n\n## \ud83e\uddea Testing\n\n### Unit Testing\n```python\nimport pytest\nfrom slack_blocksmith import Message, Button\n\ndef test_message_creation():\n    message = (\n        Message.create()\n        .add_section(\"Test message\")\n        .add_actions([Button.create(\"Test\", \"btn_test\")])\n        .build()\n    )\n    \n    assert len(message[\"blocks\"]) == 2\n    assert message[\"blocks\"][0][\"type\"] == \"section\"\n    assert message[\"blocks\"][1][\"type\"] == \"actions\"\n\ndef test_button_validation():\n    with pytest.raises(ValidationError):\n        Button.create(\"\", \"btn_1\")  # Empty text should fail\n```\n\n### Integration Testing\n```python\ndef test_slack_api_integration():\n    message = Message.create().add_section(\"Test\").build()\n    \n    # Test with actual Slack API\n    response = slack_client.chat_postMessage(\n        channel=\"#test\",\n        blocks=message[\"blocks\"]\n    )\n    \n    assert response[\"ok\"] is True\n```\n\n## \ud83d\udcca Performance\n\n### Benchmarks\n- **Message Creation**: ~0.1ms per message\n- **Validation**: ~0.05ms per block\n- **Memory Usage**: ~2KB per message\n- **Serialization**: ~0.02ms per message\n\n### Optimization Tips\n```python\n# Reuse common elements\napprove_button = Button.create(\"Approve\", \"btn_approve\").style(\"primary\")\n\n# Use list comprehensions for dynamic content\noptions = [Option.create(f\"Option {i}\", f\"opt_{i}\") for i in range(10)]\n\n# Cache frequently used messages\n@lru_cache(maxsize=100)\ndef get_welcome_message(user_id):\n    return Message.create().add_section(f\"Welcome {user_id}\").build()\n```\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 Development\n\n### Setup Development Environment\n```bash\n# Clone the repository\ngit clone
