What it does
Slack is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Use when you need to control Slack from CoWork-OSS via the slack tool, including reacting to messages or pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels or DMs.
Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You need to control Slack from CoWork-OSS via the slack tool
- Including reacting to messages
- Pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels
Example prompts
- “/slack”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ace02b. 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 loads about 457 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
