slack-bot-builderBuild Slack apps using the Bolt framework across Python, JavaScript, and Java.
Slack Bot Builder is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Build Slack apps using the Bolt framework across Python, JavaScript, and Java. Covers Block Kit for rich UIs, interactive components, slash commands, event handling, OAuth installation flows, and Workflow Builder integration. Focus on best practices for production-ready Slack apps. Use when: slack bot, slack app, bolt framework, block kit, slash command.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Agent Workflows, covering Chatbots and conversational support, Hooks and plugins and OAuth and OpenID Connect. It works with Slack, Java, JavaScript and Python. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SLACK_BOT_TOKENSLACK_SIGNING_SECRETSLACK_CLIENT_SECRETFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Slack Bot Builder loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 293 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.
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.
The full file from davila7/claude-code-templates at commit 14680ec, republished under its MIT licence (© davila7). 293 words, ~2,194 tokens.

Build Slack apps using the Bolt framework across Python, JavaScript, and Java. Slack Bot Builder is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Build Slack apps using the Bolt framework across Python, JavaScript, and Java.
Slack Bot Builder fits situations like: tasks that involve Chatbots and conversational support; tasks that involve Hooks and plugins; tasks that involve OAuth and OpenID Connect.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill slack-bot-builder -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/enterprise-communication/slack-bot-builder in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .claude/skills/slack-bot-builder in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill slack-bot-builder -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/enterprise-communication/slack-bot-builder in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .agents/skills/slack-bot-builder in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill slack-bot-builder -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/slack-bot-builder, .gemini/skills/slack-bot-builder, .github/skills/slack-bot-builder and .opencode/skills/slack-bot-builder in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Slack Bot Builder needs credentials named SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET and SLACK_CLIENT_SECRET. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A credential in SLACK_BOT_TOKEN; A credential in SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Slack Bot Builder is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
