What it does

Slack User Context is an agent skill from automateyournetwork/netclaw. Leverage Slack user profiles, presence, DND status, and workspace context to personalize responses, route escalations, and coordinate team operations. Use when checking who is on-call, routing an escalation, personalizing responses based on user role, or respecting Do Not Disturb before paging someone.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Incident response. It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that claws through your network. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Checking who is on-call
  • Routing an escalation
  • Personalizing responses based on user role
  • Respecting Do Not Disturb before paging someone

Example prompts

  • “/slack-user-context”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Escalation Routing
  2. Personalized Response Depth
  3. Timezone-Aware Scheduling
  4. Context from Previous Conversations

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 95bb17e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Slack User Context loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Slack User Context

Slack OAuth Scopes Used

ScopePurpose
users:readView workspace members and their basic info
users.profile:readView detailed profiles (title, department, timezone)
users:writeSet NetClaw's own presence status
dnd:readCheck Do Not Disturb before escalating
im:readView DM channel info
im:historyRead DM context for personalized responses
channels:readKnow which channels exist and their purposes
search:read.publicSearch public channels for relevant discussions

User-Aware Behaviors

1. Escalation Routing

Before escalating an alert to a specific person:

  1. Check DND status — Is the engineer in Do Not Disturb mode?
  2. Check presence — Are they active, away, or offline?
  3. Check timezone — Is it their working hours?
  4. Check profile title — Are they the right role for this issue?

Escalation Decision Matrix:

DNDPresenceSeverityAction
OffActiveAnyMention directly
OffAwayP1/P2Mention (they'll see notification)
OffAwayP3/P4Post to channel, don't mention
OnAnyP1Mention anyway (override DND for P1)
OnAnyP2Try next person in rotation
OnAnyP3/P4Post to channel only
2. Personalized Response Depth

Adjust response complexity based on who's asking:

From user profile title/department:

Title ContainsResponse Style
"Network Engineer", "CCIE"Full technical detail, CLI output, protocol specifics
"NOC", "Operations"Actionable steps, severity, impact summary
"Manager", "Director"Executive summary, business impact, timeline
"Security", "InfoSec"Focus on security implications, CVEs, compliance
"Developer", "DevOps"API perspectives, connectivity impact, service mapping
"Help Desk", "Support"Simple status, ETA, who to contact
3. Timezone-Aware Scheduling

When scheduling reports or maintenance windows:

  • Read the requesting user's timezone from their Slack profile
  • Present times in THEIR timezone (not just UTC)
  • Warn if proposed maintenance window is outside their business hours
  • Suggest alternatives that work across timezones for multi-region teams
4. Context from Previous Conversations

When a user asks a follow-up question:

  • Check recent DM and channel history for context
  • Reference previous reports or investigations
  • Don't re-explain concepts they've already discussed
  • Build on previous analysis rather than starting fresh

Team Awareness Features

Show full SKILL.md (218 more words)Show less
On-Call Roster Awareness

When NetClaw needs to escalate:

:telephone_receiver: *Escalation Attempt*
Checking team availability...

• @engineer1 — :green_circle: Active (Network Engineer) — *SELECTED*
• @engineer2 — :red_circle: DND until 08:00 EST (Senior NetEng)
• @engineer3 — :yellow_circle: Away (NOC Analyst) — last active 2h ago
• @manager1 — :green_circle: Active (Net Ops Manager) — CC'd on P1

Escalating to @engineer1...
Workload Context

If NetClaw sees a user is already active in multiple incident threads:

:information_source: Note: @engineer1 is currently active in 2 other incident threads.
Consider routing to @engineer3 if this is non-urgent.
Handoff Between Shifts

When a shift change is approaching:

:arrows_counterclockwise: *Shift Handoff Summary for @nightshift_engineer*

*Active Items:*
1. :warning: R2 memory trending high (78% → 82% over 8h) — monitoring
2. :wrench: SW1 firmware upgrade scheduled for 02:00 UTC — prep done
3. :white_check_mark: R1 Loopback99 change completed and verified

*Pending:*
4. :hourglass: Waiting on ISP ticket #45678 for R3 circuit
5. :clipboard: Security audit scheduled for SW2 tomorrow

NetClaw Presence Management

Set NetClaw's own presence to reflect its status:

NetClaw StatusSlack PresenceMeaning
Idle:green_circle: ActiveReady for requests
Running health check:green_circle: ActiveProcessing (responsive)
Running fleet-wide ops:yellow_circle: AwayBatch processing (may be slow)
Error / unreachable MCP:red_circle: DNDDegraded — some skills unavailable

Search for Context

Before answering questions about the network, search public channels for recent discussions:

  • Search for device names mentioned in recent messages
  • Find previous troubleshooting threads about the same device
  • Reference prior decisions about the network architecture
  • Link to relevant existing threads instead of duplicating information

Privacy and Boundaries

  • Never expose user DND details, exact schedules, or personal info to other users
  • Only use profile information to improve routing and response quality
  • Don't track user activity patterns beyond immediate operational needs
  • Respect when users don't want to be disturbed — follow the escalation matrix
  • Be transparent about what context you're using when personalizing responses
