What it does
Slack is an agent skill from earlyaidopters/claudeclaw. Manage Slack from Claude Code. List conversations, read messages, send replies, search for channels and DMs.
Its SKILL.md is about 940 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: Claude Code CLI as a personal Telegram bot — voice, memory, scheduled tasks, all your skills from your pocket.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
Example prompts
- “/slack”
Requirements
- A credential in SLACK_USER_TOKEN
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(cd * && node dist/slack-cli.js *)
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Go to api.slack.com/apps and click Create New App
- Choose From scratch (not "From an app manifest")
- Name it (e.g. ClaudeClaw), select your workspace, click Create App
- In the left sidebar, click OAuth & Permissions
- Scroll down to the Scopes section. You'll see Bot Token Scopes and User Token Scopes
- Ignore Bot Token Scopes. Under User Token Scopes, click Add an OAuth Scope and add all of these
- Scroll back up, click Install to Workspace, then click Allow
- Copy the User OAuth Token (starts with xoxp-)
- Add to your .env: SLACK_USER_TOKEN=xoxp-your-token-here
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 545a6d1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
Bash(cd * && node dist/slack-cli.js *)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
api.slack.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SLACK_USER_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Slack loads about 936 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:15
a `SLACK_USER_TOKEN` in your ClaudeClaw `.env` file. If you haven't set this up yet, follow these steps: - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:40
9. Add to your `.env`: `SLACK_USER_TOKEN=xoxp-your-token-here` - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:44
om the project directory (the CLI reads `.env` from `cwd`):
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 399 words (~936 tokens).
“Interact with your Slack workspace using natural language from Claude Code.”
