What it does

C Slack is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Send messages and upload files to Slack channels using the slack CLI. Supports direct messages, channel posts, file uploads, and thread replies.

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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 Backend & APIs, covering Messaging and chat bots and File uploads and storage. It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
  • Tasks that involve File uploads and storage

Example prompts

  • “/c-slack”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

C Slack loads about 363 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 93 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~363

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.

What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to send messages and share files to Slack channels and users via the slack CLI tool.

Available CLI Tool: slack

Common Commands
bash
# Send a message to a channel
slack chat send --channel "#general" --text "Hello team"

# Send a direct message to a user
slack chat send --channel "@username" --text "Hey!"

# Upload a file to a channel
slack files upload --channel "#general" --file ./report.pdf --title "Weekly Report"

# Post with markdown formatting
slack chat send --channel "#dev" --text "*Bold* and _italic_ text"

# Reply in a thread (requires thread timestamp)
slack chat send --channel "#general" --thread-ts "1234567890.123456" --text "Reply here"

# List channels
slack channels list

Usage Guidelines

  • Always confirm the target channel or user before sending
  • Use #channel-name syntax for channels and @username for DMs
  • File uploads support PDF, images, text, and most common formats
  • Keep messages concise; use threads for follow-ups

Notes

  • Requires slack CLI to be installed and authenticated (slack auth)
  • Bot token must have chat:write and files:write scopes
  • Rate limits apply — avoid bulk sending in tight loops
