Description
Description of the problem being solved
It would be nice to have an alternative way to output the data of slack activity as JSON records/lines (i.e. a machine-readable format).
Maybe something like slack activity --json, or slack activity -o json/slack activity --output json.
Then we can more easily process & analyze the data programatically.
Alternative solutions
Parse the activity as strings... which can be very tricky, especially for multi-line records (like stack traces for errors).

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and tests for the slack activity command, then trace how activity records are currently formatted. Decide which proposed option fits the existing CLI conventions, add machine-readable JSON records or lines, and verify that multiline records remain valid JSON and that the command's tests cover the new output.
