What it does

Slack Connect is an agent skill from egregore-labs/egregore. Set up Slack as a notification channel for your Egregore — creates the workspace app, invites the bot, and binds a channel. Use for /slack-connect, 'connect slack', or 'set up slack notifications'.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Slack. The repository describes itself as: Shared intelligence layer for organizations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Set up slack notifications

Example prompts

  • “connect slack”
  • “set up slack notifications”
  • “/slack-connect”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read .claude/skills/slack-connect/SKILL.md for the workflow details.
  2. Run the referenced bin/ scripts directly from Codex.
  3. Treat graph and publish steps as best-effort unless that workflow explicitly
  4. For every external notification, follow
  5. Keep local-mode behavior filesystem-first and avoid graph or notification
  6. Never call the deprecated egregore-handoff CLI for Egregore project

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05b8672. 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 Connect loads about 374 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~374

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.

Egregore slack-connect Adapter

This adapter runs the canonical Egregore workflow for slack-connect. Its one maintained body is .claude/skills/slack-connect/SKILL.md; read that file completely and follow it here.

Use the project shell and filesystem directly. Do not invoke Claude Code commands. Translate interactive choices to structured Codex question tooling when it is available; otherwise render compact numbered choices with an Other: option and wait for the user.

  1. Read .claude/skills/slack-connect/SKILL.md for the workflow details.
  2. Run the referenced bin/ scripts directly from Codex.
  3. Treat graph and publish steps as best-effort unless that workflow explicitly says they are required.
  4. For every external notification, follow .claude/context/notification-consent.md: plan without sending, then show a separate exact Send / Edit / Cancel checkpoint. Never infer notification consent from the workflow request or a batch approval.
  5. Keep local-mode behavior filesystem-first and avoid graph or notification calls when egregore.json declares "mode": "local".
  6. Never call the deprecated egregore-handoff CLI for Egregore project handoffs.
